UTAH's CRADLE OF ART.

III Springville is not Utah's cradle of
art, IL comes pretty nearly being So
From the bOyhood days Of Cyrus f..
DaIlIn the nationally famous sculptor,
and John Hafen, that genuinely gifted
and growingy appreciated artist. 1t has
encouraged art and those who have
chosen 1t as a profession. MS no other
community OF equal size. In all the
west II apparently has made up It's
mind to hold that distinction. Ger
tainly II has just taken decided step
In that direction, and one that might
well be followed with profit by larger
and richer cities in the state and Inter
mountain country.
The ceremonies associated with the
dedication Of Its Art Institute last night
were In all respects a bright augury for
the future The establishment of the
Institute marks the triumph OF years
OF longing and labor and gives TO
SpringylIe the honor Of having fos-
tered and made possible che first lnstl-
tuition of the kind ever launched ~

either In or out of Utah, so far AS
known Deep rooted in the hearts OF its
people Ii q love for art, literature and
science. In the propagation OF this
love the public schools are the strongest
factor and they have been wisely and
judclously chosen to be the medium
Of dissemination, The Deseret News
desires 10 most heartily consrat ulate the
good people OF sprinsvitle in the per-
manent establishment of an Art Insti-
tute, and hopes that 1t Will produce
many Dallins and Hafens whose mod
els and paintings Will become the

the loss In Kingston has been the
greater AS matter OF safety for the
future the government has very wisely
under consideration law which aims
at uniform class OF reconstructed
buildings to more readily stand the
violence OF possible catastrophes. II
appears that steel and concrete are TO
figure largely In the reconstruction era
and that American contractors are like
ly to participate largely in the new
work, by reason of closer proximity
10 the island than any other bidders.
The British Government has been
asked for an Imperial loan OF s5.25o O0p
to be used for construction purposes.
Indications are that the request Will
be honored with the strlctest sort OF
provlsO as to the kind and quality OF
material that shall enter into the new
buildings American contractors are
already laying their plans for the ma
jor portion OF the work and feel conf
