Morris was appointed commissioner gen.
eral from the United States. He and his
assistant, w. H. Fox, formerly director
Of the John Heron Art Institute OF In
dianapolis, have assembled representa-
tive collection of oil paintings, water
colors and small works in sculpture which
will be shown in a building especially
erected by the United States for this pur-
pose. An interesting description OF the
building is given in a letter written by
recently published in q New York paper
He said: 1.-The United States pavilion,
designed by Messrs. Carrere & Hastings,
occupies a commanding site. High above
the large central avenue, bounded on each
side by the pavilions of the participating
nations, it overlooks a gracefully descend
ing greensward terraced with pots OF
flowers and shrubbery. Next to it on the
east comes the French building. Our
structure is purely colonial in style. OF
brick with white trimmings. It forms
two sides Of court, which is laid out
in q formal garden with central foun-
tain surrounded by a balustrade. The
building is of reinforced concrete con-
struction and f1reproof. There are i've
galleries for paintings and sculpture, and
our American artists will have an ex-
cellent opportunity to show to the art
critics and amateurs of Europe the hlgh
character of our American school today.
On the opposite side Of the central ave-
nue. facing us, is the British buildings
long one-story building in the Georgian
style. Here will be held a very beautiful
display of eighteenth century English
portraits together with the modern eXhi-
bition.'

You in this manner from your consti'

walks of life. No one opposes it, eX

immensely from the labor of children
Such d law would be of incalculablc
