WILLIAMS WARNS CRITICS
Must Have Judicial Mind to
Judge Fairly, He Says.

DR.. Talcott Williams, director, gave the
last Of a series of lectures arranged by
the Columbia School of Journalism on
Newspaper Criticism" in Earl Hall yes
terday afternoon. He spoke on art Crit.
icism' and said in part:
Confusion comes in art criticism, as in
all attempts at criticism. when the critic
docs not discriminate between opinion and
criticism. Criticism is judicial; opinion is
individual Criticism implies ordered and
adequate knowledge: opinion is the peril
GUS and casual expression OF the personal
equation. Criticism deals with the work
OF art, independent of the critic and his
day; opinion is tossed about by all the
gusts and breezes Of prejudice and prefer
ence.
I'm discussing criticism itself, there IS
additional confusion because those who
talk about criticism forget its component
factors. They lay stress now on one fac
tor and now on another, and always over
estimate individual likes and dislikes, Of
all factors the least important and most
negligible work Of art Is technical
product and must first be considered as
such. Unless this is understood criticism
Is as vain a beating OF the air as the dis
cussion OF plays without considering theft
technical presentation on the stage and
its conditions.
Each work OF art is a term in his
torical series and cannot be understood
without knowing its relation to the series.
The artist is man Of a period. lie has
first certain relation TO life and 10
nature. due 10 his social environment
second. he deals with his art at its then
state and stage. Both these must be
known or a critic II as inadequate In his
criticism as a systemic botanist who
has only the blossom and not the plant.
Lastly and least, but usually treated as
most and magnifed. is the personal re-
action of the critic before the work OF art.
Against attaching importance to this
very critic must guard"

Juries DO Right Thing.

THE juries of this city do the right

more outcry, than In this case? The jury
however. came to its verdict entirely un-
Influenced by the public clamor.'
1T is a libel on the city 20 say that
public clamor influences juries. II is not
true I'm New York that our judges are
corrupt or that juries are purchasable.
Then Mr.. Whitman went or To show tha'
the talk about juries being Influenced 10y
public clamor is not borne out when ono
gets down To specific cases.
"The public In general IS willing 10 over
look much" he continued. but the crime

stopped" He said he had no patience
with those people who cOntended that
these conditions had always existed and
that therefore they must necessarily con-

been properly solved was no reason. he
said, for us not to attempt TO solve them
