upside down and inside out the theory of
undiluted classic literature for children.
the average reading child, so the book
seller tells us, settles the suspended dispute

ing the book written specifically Tor him.
This may be either one of the sort writ

merely the current juvenile adventure
Therefore. the book made directly for

back to New York Monday. half proms-
ing however. to return to Washington
next spring. Miss Hunters work is eN-
ceptional,y interesting. She uses eXc!u-
sveIy pastels. but In such manner that
they seem to be almost new medium.
The drawings she has made in the 1.arz
Anderson house are of special objects or
groups of objects, lovely corners and al
uripg vistas. They are small. .ome not
measuring more than a few inches in di-

semi-transparency. They have the APP
pearaDce upon scrutiny of having been
executed with crayon pencils. but give
somewhat the appearance OF wood block
prints. In color they are peculiarly pleas
ing. full resonant tints being used and in
harmonious combination.
The selection of theme is also good and
the illusions of light and air nicely rep
dered: They are Intended as souvenirs,
but are at the same time works of art. In

ings. hut to the prescriptions of simple
objects but these objects in themselves
had charm both of color and texture.
OF the work Of the water color class
much can he said in praise. 1t occupies
tie greater portion of the fiat wall in
the henicycle and attains. in many in
stances, professional standard. Many
of tie studies shown are exceptionally
charming-in reality. covet8ble posses
sions. The flower paintings in this me-
dunn are delightful atmospheric. colorful
and broadly treated. The still life, too.
is admirably rendered with much free
dom, and yet no little precision. Here
is work which is both academic and i'm
pressionistic: grounded on sound princi-
pies and Yet frankly interpretative.
There is a new feature in this display
this year--a group of landscapes painted
out OF doors during the past spring and
submitted by the students in competition
for prize OF SD offered by A. j. Par
sons a member of the board of trustees
and of the art committee of the gallery.
These paintings are feebler than those
done indoors, but also full of promise.
What they lack I'm assurance they make
I'D in freshness and evident spontaneity.
1t is a new field. presenting entirely new
problems. and In it these students have
adpentured bravely. Undoubtedly another
year a better showing will be made, and
to the qualification Of all it has been
learned that the prize has been again
offered.
Fifteen prizes were awarded this year,
and Of these all but four went 10 women.
This is not All unusual proportion. and yet
it may he remarked that Of those who ui-
tirately attain enlineuce in art the ma
jority are men. Saint Gaudens. referring
to this fact one time. said that in his long
experience as teacher he had found
that women had more facility than mon,
but men more creative ability than Wo-
men. and that it was the last that in
the end signified. But he that as it may,
the situation is interesting.
Of course it must be borne in mind that
an art school is unable TO invariably pro-
ducc artists. Of the thousands that study
art but comparatively few reach the
goal At a glance this might seem dis
coura ging, but it is more less so in
