the right a large tree is silhouetted
against the sky; at the left an Indian
rider reins his pony to his launches at

TTN o the exhibition of paintings at the
Steckel gallery, which will con-
n tinue indefinitely, have been added
three canvases by ]. w. Nichol Of
Pasadena, the subjects of which are
"Laguna Beach," "Foggy Morning
and Sunset, Montecito." They are well
handled and admirably portray Cali
fornia beach scenes, under different
phases which are expressed with much
truth and feeling. "Laguna Beach" and
'Foggy Morning" are especially pleas
ing in their soft, cool tones of color,
and the sunset, filled with a warm
golden light will appeal to those fond
of the representations of that hour.
Prominent in this exhibition is a
large painting of a chrysanthemum
garden by Fanny e. Duval, who for
several years has been studying in
Paris, where this picture was executed.
1t has been previously shown at this
gallery. There are no other changes at
present, but new paintings will be hung
from time to time while the exhibition
continues.

arrive in Los Angeles soon and estab-
lish his residence here. His rendering
of this wonderful and overwhelming
scene in full sunlight gives us most
extraordinary piece of color, amazing in
it's brilliant yellows and most striking
in it's very unusual effect. 1t is treated
from decorative standpoint of

art is the nobler manner of treating

REFORMATION NOW THE AIM
Society No Longer Deals with Grim
inaIs with the Idea Solely Of
Punishment.

In nearly all the large cities there
have been established courts for ju-
venile offenders where treatment is
given according to the individual mer-
its Of cases and not according to the
rigors of the law for adults.
In some states adults are also treat
ed in this manner. We have given up
the old draconian spirit. A century
ago there were about 100 crimes in
England punishable by death. When
II was proposed to raise the death
penalty for theft from FIVE shillings to
ten 1t met with the most bitter op-
position in parliament and many men
Of supposed wisdom announced that
the country was done for, property
no longer safe and society incapable
OF caring for itself. We are now try
ing to treat crime In a two-fold man
ner. To punish the offender and to
reform him so that he will not prey
upon the community so soon as he
regains his freedom.
Especially is this necessary in the
case of children. We must not give
a dog bad name, much less a poten-
tial citizen. The decision of the New
York legislature is one that ought to
be generally followed. We need to
learn a great deal about criminology.
a science which is just now In its In
fancy.
