ART AND THE AMMAN,
Henray R. Poore Gives the First Art
 Lecture of tho Season.

The first art lecture of the Season was given Monday evening at Slater Memorial under the auspices of the Art Students association. Miss Nancy E. Lucas introduced the lecturer, Hen ry R. Poore of New York and Lyme, who spoke upon Art and the Layman. He said that art and religion both have their well-springs in emotion. And like religion art must have converts. It is conceded to be a good thing which ought to be maintained by someone.
 The laynan who is used to good prose, good poetry, good music, has mastered the fundamental principles of all good style and is competent to judge of art also. To be a. sane and valuable judge of art, the question of like and dislike must not be allowed to appear. These have no value.
 A mistaken idea is the separation of realism and idealisn. The two should be combined and form 9 composite of nature and mans specific will. Roden is a realist. Only the anctents were ideaiists.. Greek art fig iunpersonal. Watts of England comes nearest to them in modern times. Then there is the critic who sees but one way in art. The method of his choice Is the only way In his opinion.
 Some will have only old masters and others only ff1e latest modern.
 There Is a reason for methods but only by a knowledge Of fundamentals can our country form a national taste in art.

 Rev. F. g. Worcester offered a reso- lution for an appropriation of s13,SS0 to relieve the pupils residing in the town and attending the Norwich Free Academy, of the term fees for the Current School year.
 Rev. MT. Worcester spoke in favor of the motion, saying that there were 450 pupils from the town now at the Academy, which brought the appro- priation to this amount and it was voted.
 $t,ooo for Sewer.
 H. R. Branche moved the appropria- tion of $1,000 for laying a sewer pipe to drain the so-called Earnings pond section between Williams and Lafay- cite streets. He advocated this on the ground of public health. The sit uation presents a peculiar contract with a large hospital on one side of the street to cure diseases and an open cesspool which propagates these diseases.
 J. J. Desmond spoke for a man who was willing to contribute all the nec- essary work and all he wanted was part of the cost of the pipe. The resolution was voted.

He claimed that condi- tions were deeporable.
 The motion for 13 1-2 mills town tax, of which 1-2 mill was to go to- wards the sinking fund, the volume of the Yes and No votes was very nearly ing was puzzled about declaring the vote.
 He spoke sharply to the meeting telling them that he couldn't under stand what they meant, for now that they had voted the appropriations they had got to lay a tax. If 1t were not done tonight it would mean another meeting, which would be $50 more expense, and it would be the citizens money and not his or the selectmen's Then the vote was called for again declared in the affirmative, and ths meeting adjourned at g: 30 o'clock.
