/ After the business meeting an ad-
dress was made before the club by
/ Miss Bertha KitcheI, on the general
subject Masters of American Sculp-
I ture." She spoke briefly of the early
/ sculptures of this country, pointing
J out the recent development of the art
in America. Her lecture was con-
/ cerned chiefly with the sculpture of
the Pan-American exposition in San
Francisco. and she showed lantern
I slides of the best pieces of work at the
| fair. She called attention to the
merits or faults of the statues as they
appeared on the screen, judging them,
not only by line, form and compost
| ton. but also by their claim to some
thing new in the field of art, their
expressiyeness and their national
character She explained that the ex-
hibitors at a worlds fair are too often
chosen from among those who have
previously been chosen for such work
or those whose fathers have figured
in that way, while the work of many
good scuIptors was not found in the
exhibition on account of a lack of
family tradition in connection with
previous fairs
Mr. Albert T. Reid, who was a guest,
was asked to speak on some phase of
the artistic side of the Pan-American
exposition. He said that one of the
points of superiority OF this fair over
| all previous ones was in the perfecting
of its lighting system on account of
recent electrical discoveries and in
ventions He explained some of the
mechanical methods used in construc-
ton of the buildings and the heroic
statues. and he repeated compli-
meut paid to this state by the presi-
dent of the exposition, who said that
among the buildings that should be
preserved in a permanent construction
was the Kansas building. on account
of its architectural merits.
