freshness, of curiosity and energy, which
keeps II always at the front.
AT the beginning of its career IL was
pioneer In matters literary and artistic
and in the field of timely discussion; and
it continues TO experiment and to lead
In many directions. 1t discovered, or
gave the best opportunity to, large

day the same policy of bringing out new

Ing and helped to bring it to its highest
expression. In the new processes of

merely with the perfection OF processes
but with the development of illustrs-

slant encouragement it has allied itself
to the renaissance of art in America.

painters, sculptors, and archtects-the
