 The recognition and appreciation of the best in art has always been the standard of culture in a community. It Is today as it was with the ancient Greeks and Romans the criterion of culture. To see London or Paris without visiting their art galleries is something one never dreams of doing, yet many who visit them are not able to appreciate or discriminate be- cause art culture has not been a part of their education. Birmingham like all the growing cities of America, is awakening to this fact-there must be more atten- ton given to art-to the love of the beau tiful
 There is in our city small but earnest coterie of artists working with that lofty ideal which art alone can inspire.
 Not expecting financial encouragement in a city whose art is in it's infancy, they work contentedly each day with only their motive-the love of art for it's own sake. Some of these studios, in the heart of the city, are filled with original work

International Scholarship, has felt it expedient to resign that office and her individual club work as we'll. The com n1ittee of fhis scholarship had a task differing from that of the other sch ol9 arship committees-our women knew nothing of the movement and in famil- iarizfng and making popular the idea, strenuous work was necessary. Mrs. Hemphill eheerfully assumed this task, and visited personally g clubs, making an address before each one. The club women feel greatly indebted to Mrs. Hemphill, and unite in the hope that Ter recovery may be complete and per manent. and that she may soon resume the work in which her valuable services are so needed"
 Mrs. Hemphill has been regarded as one of the most valuable club womenj in Alabama, and the temporary loss of her assistance in club matters is deep- ly regretted. She was one of the char ter members of the Shakespeare club, and one time president of that ener- getic body of women She is known not only in her own club as an in- defatigable worker but in others of the citys literary clubs and philanthropic organizations as well as in the state federation.
