Our School Improvement Associa- tion held meeting last Saturday night. Among the subjects discussed was the financing of the school, inn provement of the grounds and etc. We now have six months term of grad ed school here, with two teachers. We are prepared to conduct three year course of high school work. There are now five taking the first year of this work Another meeting is called for Saturday night, May 16th, at which time we hope to have every patron and well-wisher of the school present. The people here seem to be determined to keep up this high school work, which is certainly commendable. The advantages of such a school here 1 at home are numerous. We might mention the following, that about 90 per cent are not able to send their children away from home. Then we ! have them here under our control and lots of such schools put in a great deal of time at such games as football, baseball, basketball and such like; when if the school was here at home we could control such things, but away from home we have no voice in the management of the school. And too, every time we send a dollar away from home it helps to build up the school somewhere else, and helps just that much to weaken the one here at home. Let us think on these things and have a school here at home. We can-why not? I may have more to say along this line later.

REFUSAL OF PRESIDENT

After bringing his exhibit of sculptures
from St. Petersburg, Russia, to be shown
in the Corcoran Art Gallery, Prince Paul
Troubetzkoy world-famed Russian sculp-
tor, was Informed by Director Frederick
B. Mcclure that there was not room
for it
What the art world. which is familiar
with the work of this master. will say
can only be conjectured. but that the
disappointed prince himself is satisfied
that there was no. other reason for the
refusal was evident last night from
Troubetzkoy's statement
They didn't have room at the Corcoran
Gallery; that's ALL said he.
Director Mcclure also told Herald
reporter that the only reason for the
refusal was the one stated by the prince.
The latter said, however. that he would
not try again to have his art exhibited
in the local gallery.
disappointment Is Felt.
His exhibit is row at the Moore Gallery,
in Seventeenth street northwest, where
it will probably remain until the prince
takes it to New York. Unless he changes
his mind, he eventually will take it back
TO Europe. There is a possibility, though,
that he will find some other gallery in
the United States that would be pleased
to receive it. His work is already in sew
eral American galleries.
The exhibit brought here includes
bronze busts of Count Leo ToIstoi, Mrs.
Frederick Lewisohn, of New York, and
Thomas F. Ryan. multimillionaire of
New York and Richmond, and other
Americans.
Since his arrival in this country about
four months ago the Russian sculptor has
made many busts and has been lavishly
entertained in New York since the hour
of his arrival He was a guest at re-
cent fashionable ball in this city, and
local art lovers are not less disappointed
than he at his failure TO get his work
into the Corcoran Gallery
Plans of his admirers here to have him
make a bust of President Wilson before
his return to New York were upset by
the President himself Too busy with
Mexican and other matters of state was
the excuse the Executive pleaded for
not being able to sit for the sculptor.
VIII Go to New York.
A prominent Washington society
woman, whose name the Russian
would not disclose and several men
conducted the negotiations with the Chief
Executive IN behalf of the artist. After
this second disappointment, the prince
decided to return TO his work in New
York just as soon as he gets through
with his sightseeing program here. PietrO
Minetti, of the Peabody Institute of
Baltimore, an old friend of the sculptor
spent yesterday with him.
Il am so sorry the COrcoran Gallery
will not have the princes work. said
Mr.. Minetti. for he is a great artist
Despite his disappointments, the prince
expressed a high opinion of the city of
Washington. Il think it is very beau-
tiful.' said he.
Troubetzkoys work is now in galleries
in New York, Buffalo, Toledo, Chicago
and San Francisco and in many cities
i'm South America. One Of his most
famous works is the big statue of Alex
ander III at st. Petersburg.
