extending over two months, from July
S to September 10.
This library, with it's well lighted
gallery, affords splendid facilities for
the exhibition of paintings, and fund
in the treasury of the Chautauqua as
soeiation is available to meet all eX-
penses, making possible this step to-
ward the advancement of free art-free

the worlds famous works of art. with

The State Normal school held an ex-
hibition of the years work June 6.
The normal art classes, under the di-
rection of Miss Nellie Huntington Gere
and Miss Regina O'Kane, made an eX
cellent showing and the work ofs the
children in the training department
shows the application of sound edu-
cational principles.
The work in composition is eXcep-
tionally strong and the landscape and
still-life studies executed in charcoal
and water color are most pleasing in
arrangement and good in technique;
number of pieces of stenciling and
wood block printing are interesting in
design. and the work throughout in
dicates training of a high order.

The students annual exhibit at the
College of Fine Arts, U. S. c., opened
with a reception on the afternoon and
evening of June 9, and will remain open
to the public until June 16
The exhibit made by the students is
considered one of the best in the his
tory of the school. The members of
the class to be graduated this year are
each represented by group of can
vases and the exhibition is well cata-
! logued, a new department in school eX-
| hibitions. To those accustomed to the
exhibits of art schools in parts of the
attainments of these students, under
Dean Judson, in the line of landscape
work, seem exceptional. Delightful bits
| of California landscapes, glimpses of
the arroyo, eucalyptus groves, country
roads, rugged oaks, mission doorways
and fishermen's huts at San Pedro,
furnish subjects for a number of un-
usually good sketches by Edna Chess
Bess M. Edwards, Emma Bridges,

Vesta Smith, F'rieda Wirz and Fred
! Zimmerman, graduates of this year.
Martha Schmierer and Marguerite Gig
mes have groups of studies showing
them worthy of the special honors
awarded them in the school this year.
In addition to several landscapes, Miss
Schmierer shows an excellent portrait
and Miss Vignes has group of twelve
water colors that are most creditable
Among the undergraduates also we
| find work that promises fine things
for the future. The names of Glare M.
! Cronenwett, Roberta Barton and
! Signe Hallquist are signed to sketches
of unusual artistic merit. A number
of charcoal studies from life by Miss
Cronenwett are noticeable for their
| broad, free treatment, and her studies
in water color possess a distinctive
| charm. The work of Roberta Barton
shows marked individuality, her land
scape sketches in water color being es-
pecially pleasing, and several pencil
sketches by Signe Hallquist are among
the best things shown.
A new department in the school this
year is the work in design and the
exhibition of these classes is shown in
the two large well-lighted class rooms
devoted to work in applied art. These
classes have been under the direction
of Mrs. Nell Danely Brooker and the
character and scope of the work shown
indicate the important place this
| branch has taken in the work of this
| institution as in all present day schools
of art.
An interesting exhibition of pictures
was one of the features of the program
of the Reciprocity club Tusday under
the direction of S. Henrietta Housh
! Among the addresses of the day was
a plea for American art by Mrs. r.
| Herbert Jackson, the founder of the art
gallery at the Hotel Virginia in Long
Beach and at the close of the luncheon

quet room absorbed the attention of
