benefit Of exhibitions. Work that
merely p1eases has little educational
value. THE work that arrests your
attention and by it's departure from
beaten%tracks arouses your dislike and
perhaps almost tempts to ridicule, is
the: work that presents to the earnest

Others of the Latin race. They are

everywhere. and the people are busy in
every town The hotels of recent con
struction are modern and luxurious.
The French, on the other hand, are
standing still. They ridicule the idea
that they can learn anything of any
other nation. Wrapped in the COM
placency of self-adulation, they do not
realize how fast they are dropping be-
