Discovered at Worlds Fair.
From his youth he has been a daring
hunter, carrying, however, with his
rifle his sketch book. He is at present
in the Rocky mountains thus occupied.
In 1887 he went to New York to study.
and in the late nineties won Rhinehart
travelling scholarship, which enabled
him to spend several years in Paris.
It was at the worlds fair at Chicago
that he first came into prominence as a
sculptor, the work he did there attracting
wide and favorable attention. He has
since modelled colossal panthers for
Prospect Park. Brooklyn, and many
small bronzes notable for merit.
The appropriation for sculpture for tho
18TH street bridge was exceedingly small.
but through desire to assist in beauti-
flying Washington and have his work IN
the National Capital Mr.. Proctor has
been willing to accept the commission.

Of their civilization is reared he de-
clared, land where liberty and justice

that forgets God and builds upon any
other foundation may be likened unto the
man who built his house upon the sand,

long train of anarchy, revolution, despOt-

souls of men and are running after

questing the Reason for This
Change of Mind.

The protest Of the board Of education
against the use Of crushed stone on the

by the Commissioners with much surprise.
Frequent requests have previously been
received from the board of education to
have this material placed on the play

September %. referring to the Langdon
School," is the occasion for surprise. as
stated in the reply of the Commissioners
to be sent to the board.
THE board of education directs me to
convey to you its protest against the
further use OF crushed rock as a covering
for Fairgrounds Of public schools" Sec
rotary Harry o. Hine wrote the Commits
sioners. owing to complaint arising from
the use of crushed rock covering on the
grounds Of the H. D. Cooke and the Luz

undesirability of this material. It's re-
moval from these two school grounds Is
requested"
Express Their Surprise.
After expressing their surprise at the
request. Engineer Commissioner Judson
recommends that the board be informed
Of the reason Of this change in opinion.
Considerable thought has been given
to the question of covering the school
Fairgrounds. and nothing has yet been
found that can be at all economically
used that will be better than the screen
inss from crushed stone.
at is realized that the stone In the
yards OF the Cooke School is a little
larger than should be used. and the same
