The Observer met him several days

Such an institute should and proba bly,

velopment of American art. The direc-
tor of the academy, Mr. Carter, in his
report to the board of trustees, calls
attention to the fact that there is a
tendency to judge the value of the
academy on the basis of a factory to
measure the cost of plant by immediate
value of output In vain.'' he says,
we have proclaimed that we are not a
factory, and therefore are not under

while the results already have been
good and encouraging, the largest re-
suits are yet to come.

The secretary of the academy in con-

interesting and significant statement:

Americans has been granted the en-
via BILE position of freedom from partici

that freedom we must be judged by all
mankind and for all time. 1t is neither
in vainglory nor SNUG compiacency
that we who are concerned with the
conduct of the American Academy in
Rome. here note our happiness. For
among the many duties that lie upon
the people of whom we are a part. du-
ties to help, to keep our heads cool and
our hearts warm, our courage unim-
paired, is the duty to go on with our
work. The work of the academy, at a
moment when the world is in the ago

the Observer, rubbing that portion of

The proprietor gazed at him in com

The Observer drifted away to safer
places, meditating that fine old quality
which seems to persist in some lndi-

thropoid ancestors desire to hurt
for the pure pleasure of hurting.
And then there came another notion.
Can the April fool joker help himself :?

response that this unfortunate was not
