PICTURES ARE TREAT

All preachers ought to be painters
for religion without an understand
ing of beautiful nature is barren and
abstract. Even the sayages have
their own peculiar expression of the
| picture-making sense that lives in all
men. But II is. strange that after
thousands of years Of civilizing our
"moderns" have to be encouraged
to take their rightful pleasure in pic
lures.
Little children like to look at pref
joy art treasures. But where Is the
falling off, as age advances with its
hustle of activity? Are we educated
to be ashamed of the beautiful, as
the practical things that count" get
a grip ON us?
Blackfoot has had a little free art
exhibit recently. Edward j. Refs
dorf, collector and importer of origi-
nal water colors, brought us re-
markable collection of paintings,
straight from the artists hands. The
fact that they were for sale did not
keep it from being free exhibit, for
Mr. Reisdorf showed the fine pic
lures, at Brown-Eldredge furniture
store, as obligingly and enthusiastic
cally to any street child that hap
pened in as to the richest dowager.
He knows that If art sells at all 1t
sells itself and being lover Of art
he likes to show to every conner. He
made number of sales and staid
two days longer than he had planned.
1t is a favorable sign indeed that
beginnings are being made, and the
outposts of real art set among us,
far out as we are from the places
where beauty has an actual money
value. For we need the refining in
tiuence as well as they do down east,
and our people are ready to turn
from automobiles and crops to re-
ceive some of the sensitive Injuries
of life.
Speaking of prints and magazine
covers, isn't it fortunate that our
personal refinement is not judged by
our guests from the interior arrange

SCHOOL NOTES

Track Meet a Success

This year the high school athletic
association decided to abandon base
ball, with the idea of interesting the
boys in track work. This work was
new. the school never having had a
complete track team, and they deem
ed it time to begin this worthy form
of athletics. Other schools in the
county were urged to take part in
the work of this kind in order that
county track meet might be held,
but all the schools were unwilling
to do anything along this line. Our
team, accompanied by c. A. X. Mar
lowe and J. F. Lewis, went to Poca-
tello, Saturday to take part in the
track meet conducted by the Idaho
Technical institute, with no previous
experience and little practice. How
ever, some of the boys made very
good showings and from the present
prospects we should have very fine
team next year. Argen Reddick did
well at the shot put and discus and
javelin throw; Avery Kennedy in the
one mile run; Albert Jones and Ray
mond La Cour in the quarter mile
dash and Ted Cherry in the 100 yard
dash. Some of the boys stayed in
the Gate City all night, and were
pleasantly entertained by the Idaho
Technical institute. The young men
learned a great deal about track
work and expect to profit by it next
spring.
Two Readings
Iva Short gave two most enter
tanning humorous readings in chapel

Did You ever give picture, an
original painting, for wedding gift?
And wasn't it a quite surprised and
rapturous letter of thanks you re-
ceived from the bride? And who
has not, watched the puzzled hurry
ings to and fro and puckered brow
of one that has just been the victim
of a. wedding invitation? Nothing
is more Welcome to the home than
a real picture and nothing so well
shows the sincere interest Of the
giver.
And another thing, American art
needs boosting as well as American
manufacture, Almost anybody could
name you dozen big business men,
but few could put down even one
American artist on the list. Some OF
the painters represented in Mr.. Refs
DORIS collection are F. M. Dixon,
of Chicago, whose work is remark
ably rich and subdued; the late ii.
l.. A. Culmer, of Salt Lake City, who
has painted the remote natural
wonders of southern Utah and Arfzo-
ma; Harvey Lyons; John Romney
and Jean Moreoux. The Dutch scenes
by Peter Vanderwick, Hendrix
Gherke and A. ]. Grootens are very
fine and studio-like. The gay hRr-
monious tints of the Italians, Giro
Galine and Peter Rebalto are strik-
ing.

The architect OF the Renaissance
see as one who. as like as not. was
himself a sculptor, or 4 painter; some
times both. So that as he worked
with others who, like himself, lived in
the arts. there came out of it build
ings of which you cannot say where
architecture ends and sculpture and
painting begin.
How may all this be brought back?
l don't know, nor do wiser men than
l. l do not venture to say that archi-
tects must become painters and sculp-
tors; that would be rather utopian.
But at least they should be brought
closer together. personally and pro-
fessionally, and the time to do It is
while they are still in their formative
period.
The problem is not being neglected;
beginnings are being made. Few OF
the most eminent and thoughtful men
in the American world of art but are
concerned with it.-C. Grant In Serb,
