Art.

There's place for the nude In art,
but it is not in shop window on
public street. In the opinion OF Rev.
w. II. Head Of the Western TheoloE-
ical Seminary. Behind closed doors IN
the artists studio there may be no
harm in exhibitions of the undraped
human form, he says, but sensuality IN
the average street crowd makes such
displays in windows dangerous.
In a lecture yesterday In the Hyde
Park Y. NJ. c. A. he approved the at
tempt of Sergeant jeremiah OConnor,
morals censor for the police depart
ment, to prevent the display OF sep
TENDER Morn" in a dealers WINDOW
and censured the Jury for giving legal
sanction to the exhibition.
II have serious doubts whether the
nude In art has ever made any one
better: whether it has ever been the
means OF turning any one from selfish
or sensuous thoughts" he declared.
Il am willing to allow for the sake
Of argument that it may have Its place,
but its place is not on the public street
to be viewed Unfortunately by the
passing crowd. Some people can never
get the idea of appropriateness, that
there are certain things that are per-
fectly proper at certain times ana
places that are not proper at all at
others.
"All this controversy about the nude
in art is simply question Of the ap-
propriateness of things. We allow
bathing suit on the beach, but we do
not allow it down State street: ex-
hibitions in physicians office are
not allowed in lawyers: we permit
half draped or nondrapeo models In
the art studio. before mixed classes.
but demand that the models shall put
on their clothes before they step out on
Michigan avenue.
The place for the nude In art. II
there is a place. is in an art studio.
where people go to look upon 1t. and
have as a rule the aesthetic taste to
see only the art beauty. The l4-year-
old boy or girl who passes on the
street is certainly not matured enough
in the sense of art discrimination to
view the nude human figure.
The judge gave foolish instructions
in a recent case when he told the jury
that the location of the picture had
nothing to do with it, and the jury
showed itself inane, immoral and not
fully alive to its sense of protection
for the morals Of the community In It's
verdict of acquittal"
