"We had an interesting trip in
here, although it was bit fatigue
ing, as we hiked all the way. We
started from point near Verdun,
France, and travelled through north
ern Lorraine, which is a very rich
and pretty country. We also went
through the province Of Luxemburg,
thence into Germany proper, so you
see it has been quite an instructive
trip. Part of our journey took us
along the Moselle river, the most
winding river in the world, I guess.
From almost at the rivers edge,
the ground rises abruptly, but in
stead of being soil, it is a shale
formation which has been terraced
and walled and planted to grapes.

A inches-a real white Christmas.
We spent quiet day, that is quiet
compared to an American Christmas.
We had very good dinner, however,
the best circumstances would permit,
pork chops and apple sauce being
the headliners. Christmas is quite
an event to the people here, and
guess in "ante-bellum" times they
pulled off real celebrations.
81 can imagine the relief of the
U. S. A. in general when the good
news reached there. 1t was quite
relief to US as well, as, even though
we were as willing as ever to fight
it out, we were more than glad to
see it brought to an end. When the
armistice was signed, we were on
our way to the front for the fourth
time; and were near enough that
we could hear the guns. We were
then turned back for a few miles
and billeted in a French village,
where we were fully equipped and
then started on the march for oc-
cupation duty.

to the fact that of the 33 states having
a law in regard to industrial accidents,
Oregon is the only one where the state

men who were capable TO lift them
selves above the sciences of art. art
would have died of inanition.
Those few kept the divine spark
burning. but they succeeded only by
retiring into isolation in order to get
rid OF art formulas and early training
and recover that freshness and direc-
ton of vision which our modern edu-
cation eradicates, so completely.
All the great artists of the last fifty
years have gone through that process
of elimination. with the exception OF
one, Henry Rousseau, who, untram-
melled by tradition and unspoiled by
training, created his own world. He.
the first OF the moderns brought the
direct proof that lit is better to have
no art education in the modern sense
and that art mast grow naturally like
a flower out of the fertile ground Of
our imagination, and not directly out
of reality.
In order to create the artist must
know how to transform his outer ex-
periences in his mind so that he might
be able to materialize them into art
works. Reality must become dream
in order to organize itself into art.
Once having reached this conclusion
we realize that our whole art educa-
ton is wrong. We have to preserve in
the future the child's faculties of
dream and teach IT TO visualize reality
and understand the intrinsic value and
the possibilities of the materials TO be
applied.
The anarchy which is raiqninp tn
day in art, a fact which might be
stated easily by anybody visiting a
general art exhibition, is the best
proof of the necessity for reform.
Emile Branchard's work is in this
connection of the greatest interest. He
had the opportunity to continue the
dreams of his childhood because no.
body took his work seriously. He cav
and painted his inner experiences with
that detachment which enables an
artist to express himself concretely and
spontaneously. He walked a straight
road. and has reached maturity of his
talent without being forced through
circumstances or doubt to seek the
goal in different directions and lose
himself in that attempt
The basic facts of his personality are
a sure instinct in the use of colors and
a healthy optimism. and no conflict
with himself or with the world dis
turbs the equilibrium of his mind It
is for that reason and because 1t was
never a profession but pleasure with
him. that his work bears the impress;
sion OF serenity and pure enjoyment.

70 arrive to old age with the freshness
Oh childs mind? The chance which
thus fell to Blanchard to escape any
theoretic art training cannot be over
valued.
The observations of all those who
were seriously interested during the
last decade in art matters agree on one
point, namely: that children see and
express themselves more freely than
grown up people. and for that reason
we have seen lately so many exhibit
tons of child art.
With the awakening of conscious
ness the human mind undergoes a fun
damental change, Its capacity of OBJ
servation and absorption Of expert
ences widens itself considerably; grad
ually the circle Of those observations
extends itself upon the ego, by COM
pairing the self with the outside world.
We become conscious of ourselves.
Our emotional force suffers more or
less through that process of seh-con-
centration and we loose partly or COM

Landscape Studies by
Emile Blanchard

Emile Blanchard, who was discov-
cred at last springs Independent Ex-
hibition. has already gained the fran
chise Of Fifth avenue and is exhibiting
at the Bourgeois Galleries. His pic
lures in the Independent show were
tiny affairs and not the sort that psu-
ally attract attention in public exhibit
tons, but the Independent societies
both here and abroad seem to generate
an atmosphere that is anti-academic,
and visitors unconsciously seek for in
formal art and acclaim II when they
find it.
1t was evident to those who found
Mr.. Branchard's little pictures that he
had not been trained. but It was also
evident. that he had feeling and imag-
NATIVE power. The present exhibition
includes a great many little paintings
and drawings, all of which have the
attractive quality of sincerity. 1t is
evident that the artist enters whole
heartedfy into his work and often sue
ceeds in creating a poetic atmosphere,
and this without technique. There are
certain panels that remind one of
Ryder's. especially those in which the
chief interest centres In the sky.
Mr.. Blanchard finds an absorbing
attraction in tree forms, and though
he comes to grief sometimes in his
compositions he more often succeeds
in obtaining pleasing arrangements,
The bare lines of trees in winter hyp-
notize him most, and many canvases
attest the insistence with which he
has worked over and over upon a
haunting theme. This artist is also
unafraid of straight lines, and certain
Of his direct statements of perspective
will appall suave academicians as
much as they will delight lovers of
nafvete.
Mr.. Bourgeois in an essay in the
catalogue explains Mr.. Blanchard as
much as may be and also utters some
daring views upon the subject Of re-
ngion. He says:
