WOMEN ARTISTS DENY
BACK SEATS IN WAR"
s1embers of Philadelphia School
of Design Repudiate New
York Mayors Remark

The remark made by Mayor Hylan, OF
New York that the artist must take a
back seat in the war was received with
good deal of indignation by members of the
Philadelphia School of Design.
In reputation, II has been pointed out
that artists. far from taking a back
seat have flung themselves into the war
with the greatest zeal, AT the same time
sacrificing more of future prospects than the
average young business man.
Nor is it the men artists alone who have
refused to take back seat" Women are
working as craftsmen at Hog Island. at the
Baldwin Locomotive Works and in the Penn
sylvania Railroad and the Philadelphia Elec-
trio Company.
corps and the medical drafting corps, where
their skill in drawing is used to draw the
pictures of wounds in the French hospitals
But these the artists who are able
TO carry their work and their patriotic
duty at the same time. To think that
artists are At only for these few branches
Of the service or that they are in any way
shirking the real business of war is an en-
tirey wrong and unfair idea, it is asserted
by various members of the art school
faculties.
1t has been said that the common atti-
tude of the normal American toward the
artist Is of sort Of good-natured contempt
art in women appears TO be regarded as
harmless nonsense and in men form of
amusing idiocy
In Europe, 1t Is said even In Germany.
| every effort was made by the fighting coun-
| tries to protect their artists with the same
| care that they protected their treasures of
| art artists were not called into the army
until 1t was absolutely necessary. In Amer
| ica artists have had no desire to be exempt
| from the slightest portion of their patriotic
| duty nor have they been thus members Of
| Philadelphia art schools rather bitterly re-
sent the position TO which Mayor Hylan as
signed them.
Miss Emily Sartain, of the School OF De-
sign, brought out these points in a recent
| address and enumerated several instances
of the earnest war work which the girl
| students of that school have done.
| Graduates have given up positions that
have been offered to them so that they could
| do drafting at various shipping plants
| many of the girls have offered themselves
| for any sort of work in Europe and are
| making every effort to develop their physical
| strength to the utmost, so that they should
| be of the greatest possible use in any task
| assigned them They have worked for the
| Red Cross, and not the least of their work
| has been the painting of the posters of food
| conservation, War-savings stamps Liberty
