THE National Gallery of Art has re-
ceived recently temporary
loan from local collector some very
rare and beautiful paintings. These
have been loaned to the gallery be-

perennially new and fine. For example,
there is in this group Of real master
pieces a portrait of rabbi by Rem

horses, by Troyon, sunset wood in
terror by Rousseau. Diaz, Corot,
two charming little Millets. Each is a
marvel in its way, a work which those

ing the well known fields in which
the Jew has had mar~ed influence and

of this people. he sets out clearly the
amazing faculty of adaptation which
has developed in the Jew out of CEN

his sheer will to live" This faculty of

speculates plausibly on the coming in
