not given attention to every thread

In the making. We work by rote
and rule instead OF by law. Men
make rules--the laws that shall en-
dure are decreed Of God. There is
too much professionalism manifest
ed In the doings OF men, and they
have in many cases forfeited their
power to feel human sympathy. In
the case OF the surgeon this is some
times very pronounced. He is able
to control his feelings SO that how
ever sympathetic he may be, he will
not allow 1t to cause his hand to
tremble at the critical moment, but
nevertheless with all his skill he is

1t was my privilege sometime ago
to visit the Royal Academy as one
of a small body of invited guests
conducted by very distinguished
hosts. I do not claim to be a con-
noisseur OF painting but I was par

glad OF the opportunity Of answering
my questions. ao 70 II

seemed to me to be we'll drawn, and
that the perspective seemed perfect.
He agreed that 1t was well drawn,
and that the perspective was well
nigh perfect. could tell that the
painter OF that picture had studied
perspective very carefully. could
tell Just what books he had read,
and the authors he was influenced
by In his studies. My guide then
asked me what thought of the
color and | said that 1t appealed to
me and that II seemed to me that
every rule as to coloring had been
followed and that thought / could
tell Just what masters the artist had
read on the matter of celors. AS l

ton him and said What do you
think OF the composition" WELL"
l said, lit seems to me to be well
balanced. The trees seem to be in
the right place" And then l asked
him If he thought it was a good pic
ture and he answered with a roar,

the matter with il. the prospective
was well nigh perfect, the color was
strictly according to rule. the COM
