PAST LAWS STILL GOOD
Apparent that Great Part of Work Is
in Incompetent Hands-Student
Prizes Awarded.

Art in America is passing through
a critical period, due to the fact that
our artists have placed too much i'm
portance in technical accomplishment.
f. c. Messer declared last night in
addressing a large gathering of Wash
ington art lovers at the Corcoran gall
lery. Mr. Messers address followe ed
the presentation OF medals to the pu-
pills of the Corcoran School of Art.
| 1T is school training that estab-
fishes the supremacy of the work.
said Mr.. Messer who is principal of
| the school. But we arrive now at
somewhat critical period in our art
/ experiences. 1t is beginning to be
recognized that the pyrotechnics of
technique fail to satisfy the man who
| thinks There is unrest evident
| that cannot be ignored. Matter has
had it's day. now mind asserts it
self"
Mr. Messer said the forerunners of new
| ideas now are apt to be recruited from
the ranks of the Intellectually unemploy-
ed. Trained minds. he said. have been
| working in school grooves, and are not
easily diverted into new channels of
| thought.
Work In Incompetent Hands.
Il do not mean to say" he went on.
that all these innovators are of the
class above spoken Of but it is apparent
that a great mass of the work that Is
meant to embody ultra-modern ideas is
in incompetent hands.
Mr. Messer scorned the idea that the
principles of the past do not apply to
present conditions. THE modern paint
er." he said has interested himself in
material phenomena that made no ap-
peal to the old masters. The laws of
light have been more keenly investi-
gated. but have suffered no change

CITIZENS WILL GET
 TOGETHER IN FINAL
 PLANS FOR FOURTH
Mass Meeting, Thursday, June 10; Details of Celebration Not Yet Settled But Children'S Amusements Will Feature

Next Thursday evening at City Hall will occur the big mass meeting to make definite plans for the observance of the Nations Birthday Already with the evidences of generous coop eration on every hand, the complete success of the plan is assured. All that is wanted now is a complete union of effort. in order that the con centration of energy may make for a more conclusive triumph.
 J. C. White president of the Busi ness Mems Protective Association and Joseph H. Gray, secretary of the Commercial Club, are delighted at the spirit shown by the mercantile and in- dustrial leaders of the district They state that there is no reason why the celebration win not be one in which the district may take a great deal O. pride.
 While the nature of the observance has not been definitely settled. 1t if safe to predict that all the traditional July 4th diversions will be in evidence. or course, as has been emphasized before, there will be special atten ton to the tastes and whims of the little ones. Altogether the affair should be one of rapid-fre mirth and revelry from start to finish.
