Pleased With Art Exhibit

morning will continue four days. The
pictures have been tastefully arranged
on the walls and on four large frames
in the center aisles.
In speaking of the exhibit this morn
ing superintendent l.. f. McGinnes
said:
1T is evident that our people are
appreciatng the educational advan-
tages, as many tickets have been sold
and many more sales are likely to fol-
low as the week progresses. The great
majority of us will never have the
opportunity 10 see the originals of
these pictures. as they are scattered
all over the world, Europe principally
and an opportunity of this kind that
enables one to see and study real art
although reproduced. is eagerly taken
advantage of by many. The pictures
do not have the crude appearance that
is seen in many reproductions, but
show that the persons who copied the
masterpieces knew how to do it, They
are beautiful. All who have seen the
exhibit thus far have expressed them
selves as greatly pleased"
