The subject then will be The Arts"
and the mission on. OF each will be pre- re;
1t is the arts themselves that signify
without them the world would be poor
indeed-and it is the artists viewpoint
In the end which must prevail.
In connection with this exhibition
there will be set forth in the National
Museum an exhibition of industrial art
somewhat similar to that shown last
can Federation Of Arts and the Smith
sonian Institution, but more varied.
Hand and machine work will be dis
played, and the value. as well as some
duction along these lines will be shown.
These conventions of the American
Federation of Arts are attended by
delegates from art museums and asso-
Citations all over the country. and bring
to Washington once q year a company
made up of the foremost artists and
art workers in America. They are in
teresting and notable gatherings, and
they are steadily increasing in size.
IT HE American Federation of Arts
was formed about seven years ago
at a convention held in this city, cAdled
by the National Academy Of Art, Of
which the late J. P. Morgan was then
president. Its objects were and are to
increase knowledge and appreciation
OF art and to furnish a channel through
which public opinion In matters per-
tanning to art may find expression. It's
membership now includes all of the
art museums In the United States, as
we'll as about ITS other art organiza-
tions such as the National Academy of
the Architectural League of New York,
the Omaha Art Society and the Art In
stitute of San Francisco. It's individual
| membership is well up in the thou
art collectors and art lovers in the
country.
In the way Of educational work this
national art organization. which has
its headquarters in this city at the
Octagon, sends out travelling exhibit
| tions Of art-no less than twenty-six
last year. valued at over 100000; to
126 places In the United States from
California to Observation-Disclosures
illustrated lectures on art and pub
fishes a monthly magazine. the Ameri-
man Magazine Of Art, and a yearly d.
rectory Of art, the American Art An
nual. 1t Is. furthermore, in close touch
with other national organizations of
somewhat similar aims, such as the
American Institute Of Architects, the
Archaeological Institute of America, the
Federated Women's Clubs and the Col
lege Art Association. and in constant
cooperation with them.
Robert w. de Forest, president of the
Metropolitan Museum. New York, and
vice president Of the American Red
Cross. Is its president, and on its board
Of directors are such distinguished men
of affairs as Elihu Root, Charles H.
Hutchinson, E. ]. Carpenter and
Charles W. Ames.
MNE of the exhibitions the Corcoran
W Gallery Of Art is planning to hold
this spring is a collection of small
bronzes by contemporary American
sculptors. This collection comprises
about ninety-four works. representing
no less than thirty-four well known
artists. 1t was assembled for the

today fall the Swallowed presences of
our country's heroes. Whoever has
closed that inner door of his own
hearts guest chamber may yet admit
the guest, of other great hearts.
Nearest, perhaps, to all, walks Lin
coin, the great humble lover of men.
The history of his life, the personal
recollection of his character are alone
proofs that he gave honor to the high
presence in the guest chamber of his
heart From the lonely boy in the
fields of Kentucky to the lonely man
walking solitary through the streets
among his people. one feels he uncon-
sciously communed with Greatness.
Over the threshold of that inner
chamber and into the halls of that
harassed and thoughtful heart the
grew used to the atmosphere of light
and responded to 1T.
Greatness directed all his acts toward
men. Greatness taught him how to
tend the country's need, and he heard
the voice of Greatness whisper to him
when the moment of extreme danger
came His was the part not to give
up. Having borne the burden he had
vet to bear it. even until death. Great
ness alone was his companion.

men and simple self-sacriflce to burn
ing cause. Few like him. in the bitter
ness of defeat, could have withheld
themselves from sinking under.
In his heart too, however, Greatness
dwelt honored in the guest chamber.
eaottsm might have dragged him down
into seif-pity. 1t upheld him. Then it
was that, giving up his sword and turn
ing away from his beloved soldiers. he
instantly took up the new and lowlier
task of teaching.
immortal hangs this picture, too, be-
fore the peoples eyes: its beauty to
be made their own if they will when
at a time of outward failure they need
in self -forgetfulness to take up another
task.

have been acquiring these little bronzes
and the sculptors have received re-

name for herself not merely through
her medallion portraits but her charm

The Corcoran gallery has previously
shown groups of the works of single
sculptors. In the old hemicycle was

Several years later Prince Troubet-

Of the important scientific divisions of
the National Museum, left last week
for Guatemala, where he will join a
scientific expedition sent out by the
Carnegie Institution. He expects to
be absent about six weeks, during
which time he will visit the two ancient
buried cities for the purpose of scien-
tif1c investigation. He is taking his
sketching materials with him, as he
invariably does, and no doubt will re-
turn with not merely increased scien-
tff1c knowledge, but sheaf of pictures
painted en- route. which will open new
vistas and give much pleasure. This
is an unusual and interesting kind of
collecting, art serving as kind of by

chamber is lonely one, for none of
the other tenants cross it entering,
and only the guest itself ever issues
forth from its high embrasure to bless,
to act or to move among its fellows.

Not all hearts know their guest
Either they have lost the key to the
chamber set apart where 1t dwells, or
in overcrowding or charging other
chambers they have overlooked the
single door opening from the inside
and have allowed it thus to become
contracted and overgrown SO the guest
could no more walk out over the
threshold. There in it's neglected
chamber. 1t would fade away.
But there are hearts who, having
known great solitudes Of space and of
thought, have not crowdea out that in
ner threshold. and the guest comes
forth at will. moving like a priest be-
slowing a benediction. Thel man lifts
his hand then from whatever task, to
acknowledge the eternal. By this the
