SCHOOL INQUIRY SEARCHING,
NO NATTER WHO'S HIT.

Chairman Clark Of the commission ap-
pointed by Engineer Commissioner Nor
row to investigate schoolhouae conditions
called on Capt. James F. Oyster. presi-
dent of the board of education this morn
ing and asked the cooperation of the
school authorities in the work OF the
commission. Capt. Oyster granted the re-
quest willingly and offered any assistance
they could give.
I'VE are going to make the fullest and
most searching investigation" Mr.. Clark
told the school board president, no mat
ter who it hits
cation for the benefit Of the schools and
school children" replied Capt. Oyster.
I'm entering into a controversy regard
ing the physical conditions Of certain pub
lie school buildings my aim was not sim
ply to correct misStatementS and distorted
facts. but to warn parents of school chill
dren not to become alarmed or excited
over the conditions"
Engineer Commissioner Morrow made
this statement today in emphasizing his
Washington and to explain his reason for
appointing a special committee of five
prominent architects and builders to ex-
anime the schools and report their find
ings and recommend changes and i'm
provements.
This committee met in Commissioner
Morrow's Office yesterday and discussed
methods for carrying out the public bur-
den given it by Commissioner Morrow.
The committee will NEE. again this after
noon and formulate some definite plan of
inspection. One member Of the committee
said 1t Is not the idea Of the body to visit
every school building in the city. as a
number of them are exactly the same in
construction and arrangement Particu-
lar attention will be paid to the safety
of the children attending the schools.

leaped across the stretches that had been
cleared of leaves and dry underbrush.
The fight was kept up all night and this

EXHIBIT SMALL, QUALITY BIG.
Chicago Art Institute Has Most
| Representative Collection.

CHICAGO, October 2l.@Chicago Art In
stitute's annual exhibition of oil paint
ngs and sculpture by contemporary art
lists was opened yesterday.
Director w. NJ. r. French announced
that, In the opinion OF Chicago artists.
the exhibit presents the most representa-
tive collection ever brought together in
the west.
In his communications to art judges in
various cities Director French asks that
the number OF paintings accepted be Gu,
down considerably in order that there
might be more space in the galleries for
advantageous placing and the standard
of excellence for the exhibition be raised
to a point approaching that of the Euro
pean salons. The result surprised even
Mr.. French.
Out of 141 paintings offered the New
York jury. for example. only twenty-one
were accepted. Other juries in Boston,
Philadelphia, st. Louis and Chicago were
less strict.
But in the whole exhibit there is a de-
crease of 200 in the number Of works
shown since last year. The advance in
the average quality OF the work is corre-
spondingly great.
The catalogue Of $40 enthusiastically oil
paintings and sculpture-are by 219 artists.
Many works were contributed by Ameri-
can artists in Europe. forty-nine having
been sent from Paris studios.
