evening, and he never looks at the
piano, anyhow"

JlNDERSEA BEAUTIES
FERTILE FIELD FOR
ARTISTIC EFFORT

A suggestive paper is that by
Charles de Kay in January Art
World, called "a Realm Of Beauty
for Artists to Explore" pointing out
how that vast section Of the earth $
surface which is covered with water
has been neglected by art. Early pot
terry, coinage and sculptures are cit
ed for indications of mans interest
in marine life, and attention is call
ed to the beauty Of fish Of the largest
and sea life of the minutest size.
Among the rare modefns who saw
and reported this beauty, Winslow
Homer, comes in, for special praise
The modern. world has facilities for
the study of marine creatures that
were lacking as late as the last CEN
tury Mr.. de Kay remarks:
AS we look about us we find that
for its prey art has taken mankind
and the animals round about man
that form his food, his servants or
his foes, also the towers and turrets
and humble abodes of man, the home
landscape, the primeval forest and
the awful solitudes where man
seems petty intruder on the abodes
of. gods and demons, such as the
Himalayas, the Sahara, the Grand
Cannon Of the Colorado, the haunts
of the ice giants, beyond the utter
most of the Hyperboreans.' Yet there

stimulated a wholly new resoluteness
and self-respect.
Under these influences the scat
folding is already being raised on
which a great and pacific nation may
be built in harmony with the liberal
plans of the modern world"

western industrialism is entering
more rapidly every year into the lives
of the women of China. AS yet there
are no laws, either against the for
eigner, who is mainly responsible for
these things, or for the Chinese, who
are so far merely their minor COM
petitors. There are no laws, no sta
tistics, and hardly any general knowl
edge or consideration"
Mr.. Harding expects to deliver an
address before the students of the
Hartford Theological seminary in the
near future.

REALISM IN ART is
LOST SAYS WRITER

AS to idealism and realism in art,
F. Wellington Ruckstuhl expresses
very decided opinions in the Janu-
airy Art World and sums up their
contrasts as follows:
We may now, define realism as
follows: Realism in art. means first:
The choice of a subject dealing with
things and human activities Of a
commonplace nature, and, second:
The representation Of the forms of
nature in any subject chosen, by i'm
itating those forms with the utmost
possible truth to nature.
Idealism is the opposite Of real
ism. And, in analysing it, we will
begin by defining it. as follows:
Idealism in art means, first, The
choice of a subject dealing with
things and human activities above
the commonplace in nature; and,
second, In the representation Of the
forms of nature, in any subject
chosen, in such manner as to in
dictate that the artist searched for
and chose such forms as are uni
versally regarded as the most per-
feet Of their kind.
From his thoughtful article we
clip this regarding the 1ayman:
AS for the men Of the craft, it
would be a useless task to try to
establish the relative merits of ideal
ism and realism as an inspiring point

A SHANGHAI EDITOR

Gardner L. Harding, recently re-
turned from China, where he was
an editor in Shanghai Of DR.. Sun

day, on his way to Middletown,
where he was to address the student

the fight for existence as a nation,
the republic stands, the main points
won by the revolution stand, and
with the vast breath Of new life they
have brought, China was never more
able in her history to make a fight
for her liberty than she is now. The

OF view for an artist. Every artist
will gang his gait, despite all SUCCESS
tons from others. Some artists are
born idealists and poets, and others
are born reahsts and mere clever
workmen. ~
For the public, for the 1aymen-
1t Is different Since there has been
a constant war between the realist
and idealist in both life and art from
time immemorial, it is important to
discuss realism and idealism so as to
give the great public a chance to
easily see the relative merits Of the
two points Of view; especially as ar
lists constantly appeal to public pow
ers for money and for all kinds Of
That being so, the
public has a right to know what kind
of art probably is most worthy of off,
cial support by city, state or nation.
That realism has produced many
fine, though (uninspiring things, mo-
mentarily appealing to the curiosity
Of the ever curious mind, cannot be
questioned. But 1t has produced few
if any truly beautiful or poetic works,
such as call forth and retain for a
long time the love of mankind-by
the soul.

Though we have made the ocean

selves of the beauty that turks dis

shorescape but later, rose marine
views; and there at least we observe
in modern times certain artists de-
