BARRING OF PAINTING
Presidents Daughter Writes She Was
Amazed When School Principal
Rejected Dollman's Picture.

New York. March 2.-Miss Margaret
Woodrow Wilson, daughter of the Presi-
dent, has written to Carl Beck, directing
city. indorsing the action of the Forum
in its approval of J. C. DoIlman's paint
ing. Am Ny Brothers Keeper" which
recently was ordered from the walls OF
Washington Irving High School by Ed
ward c. Zabriskie, the principal as unfit
for the eyes OF the students. Miss VIII
sons letter TO Mr.. Beck follows:
1T was with amazement that i heard
that Mr.. Dollman's wonderful picture,
Am l Ny Brothers Keeper was con-
s!dered by educational authorities to be
unfit for a school building.
Surely one of the most necessary and
vital purposes OF education is to give
sense of the realities around us and to
prepare US to grapple with the problems
which these realities present. 1t seems
to me that this picture would give the
children of the Washington Irving High
School realizing sense of certain of
the conditions of life in their part of New
York City, and because of its appeal the
picture would make them want to help
change those conditions. To my mind
the picture is too beautifully conceived
and executed for its appeal to be morbid
or unhealthy.
do the educational authorities in this
school want to send the children away
from school without any sense of re-
sponsibility towards their fellow men?
Do they think that ignorance OF life is
good preparation for life, or indiffer
ence to misery a good preparation for
service? Even though It were desirable
to keep children ignorant Of the dark
things of life, 1t is impossible to do so. es-
pecially where these things lie at their
very doors. Surely it is the duty OF
teachers to teach children to look at the
life around them with understanding
sympathy and a sense of responsibility.
Il am glad that the people OF the
Washington Irving High School Forum
realize that part of the responsibility for
the education Of the children of their
community is theirs. The mission Of the
American school house will not be full
filed until the citizens OF this country
make II the vitaliZing center OF educatio
for themselves and their children alike"
