that they are just the foolish, whimsical elu

Yet both sides Of the controversy get a hearing

they put forward exhibits to prove their point in
each case.
At the recent exhibition of the Allied scuptors
held at the Riz.Carlton, in New York city. George
Grey Barnards Woman" received much attention
and much criticism. both from artists and from
laymen
AT the same time the same subject was handled
by Sherry E. Fry and exhibited at the annual show
Of the National Academy This figure received
the Watrous prize

MT FRY and other sculptors OF eminence be-
leve that war work and the newer conditions of
womens participation are tending to bring her
nearer and nearer to the Greek type
Mr.. Borglum most staruingly illustrates his be-
lief that women are coming to bear more of the
burden Of the worlds well being His 'Ierculese"
is feminine Atlas, lifting the world by mighty
effort. The radioalism of this conception has
created storm of criticism.
Mr.. Borglum himself says: Woman has al
ways borne the great burdens of the world In
ancient times, as today. this was so. She has
struggled against the greatest obstacles. she has
overcome hamperine traditions; she has risen su
pcror to circumstances. The world in all its strug.
ges in all its pride, has rested on her shoulders
1t is by her courage faith and indefatigable
strength that she has struggled up and on, and il
upon either sex rests the worlds probity il is upon
woman"
Never before in the history Of the world ac
cording to Mr. Borglum has this been so true as
1t has been in recent years when women of all ma.
tions have exhibited their bravery and heroism.
II womm's strength, moral and physical, were ever
doubted surely this war has wiped the slate clear
of that doubt.
Mr., Fry is quite as eXultant as Mr.. Borgum in
contemplating the rise" Of woman Mr. Fry,

You will have to decide the question for your

The critic cannot say that Mr. Nadleman has done
anything more in defiance Of tradition, so far as
his modelling and color effects concerned than
have his rivals. Comic sculpture is as old as
sculpture itself You will find it on the walls OF
the old Babylonian ruins. And you will find color
used on sculpture as far back as old Pompeii and
before, Not that Mr. Nadleman and the new
school would care about that. They are not in
terested in Babylon or Pompeii. They are very
, much interested in things today-including the
\ clothes and habits of today. No Greek robes for
the new school No Greek cofures for them
