1t was a relief to attend a meeting
which had no slightest relation to
war.
Such was the meeting of Art Study
club members Wednesday morning at
the opening lecture of a series of six
to be given during the season by Ar
thur Brooks, celebrated art authority
of Indiana university.
The lecture was given, or rather
read, by Professor Brooks before an
audience of about fifty women in the
high school auditorium.
There were only two suggestions OF
the war in the meeting. One was
when Professor Brooks limited that
the breakdown of civilization was
due to over-emphasis on the scientific
to the exclusion OF the artistic, or
spiritual. The other was the flying
needles of several of his auditors.
Professor Brooks lecture was on
broad niles. He discussed the diff
ference between art and science as a
basis for the five lectures which are
to follow. He spoke specifically on
landscapes.
Lectures Are Subscribed.
The six lectures have been subscrib
ed by the so women present, according

Professor Brooks gave a clear state

Photographic work of second rate ar
lists and the work of genius.
"A mirror or a camera reflects what
1t sees, while an artist interprets,'' he
said.
Technique was designated the start,
