His Lore of Life and
Of q High Standard

tons.
The Artist, the Critic
and the Layman
In the appreciation of art three dis
tinctly marked points Of view are to
be recognized as operative. There is,
to begin with, that of the artist. 1t
Is influenced greatly by questions of
technique, of method The strength
lies IN what can only be described as
matter of professional initiation. Its
weakness is determined by the tenn
permanent Of the individual. If he has
liberal turn of mind his apprecia-
ton is valuable. Frequently, however.
he is handicapped by an inability to
transcend his individual experience.
tie judges work too much in the
hight OF his personal practice. Paint
lhes, Tor example, lying outside his
own school, his own habit, are more
or less sealed to him. The critic. who
shares the artists passion for techni-
cal processes. has in his turn a source
OF strength which is also source of
weakness. lie is sometimes handi-
capped by knowing too much. 1t is
good thing to be Intimately ac-
qualnted with, say. all the paintings
OF given master, to have studied
practically every inch of the canvas
covered by a Velasquez or Yer Nicer
But what he has to guard against is
coldly Judicial Placing" of each work
IN the sequence. If he gives himself
too much to the fixing of early, mid
die and late periods, to the differentia-
ton of manners" and so on. he risks
the loss of lot of artless pleasure
lhere Is no spoilsport like the pedant
VINO would break in upon conyersa-
ton about master with an examine
IN some remote gallery which none Of
those present save himself has ever
SEEM as though knowledge of the
painter were hopelessly incomplete
without a glimpse of the sequestered
picture. Boiling in oil is too good
quietus for that type of "specialist."
John La Fargo used to chuckle ove,
ohls form of scientific" criticism. He
elahces at 1T IN one of his letters
saying: "Our Japanese friend Okakura
wrote to me once from Seville. where
as ne said, he was listening to the
songs of the nightingales and the
cries OF the gulls. He said that he had
abandoned his party of commissioners
sent over by the Japanese government:
all museums, he said, were the same:
all curators of museums were tho
same; he had seen 200 Rembrandts
and 200 more would not teach him anv
more about the Importance of this
very great master" Taste NAV be
smothered in the accumulation of too
much data There is, of course. the
possibility that taste may be starved
on the other hand, if it has too little.
Hence the additionally precarious sit
uation of the layman, the holder of the
third point Of view, who is often con-
tent to let the data go and to rest in
complacency upon the conviction that
ne knows what he likes" Theodore
Roosevelt was a layman in these mat
ters, but he was not complacent.
Therein lies the appeal that he makes
to us in matters Of art He was gen
timely interested in them. When he
wanted light on them he did as he did
in politics, sought the counsel of
others, and in art as in politics he
believed in lust one thinc-o b;oh
standard.

dence over all other officers."
One OF the most important provts-
,, ions OF the bill, Gen. March said, was
that giving Reserve Corps officers
rank including that OF colonel. in
stead of major. as now provided.
There ought not to be such ham
pering of rank of men coming in from
civil life" he said
Another condition which must be
remedied. the general said, was that
limiting permanent commissions from
civil life to the grade OF second lieu
tenant. II that is to be continued, he
said, the men who fought the war"
would be lost. for those who had
proved themselves in action would not
consent to enter the regular service in
that grade.
The bill provides for absolute pro-
motion by selection OF all officers of
rank OF captain or higher. BY the
time an officer becomes a captain, Gen
March said, his ability is a known
quantity.
The three-year enlistment was pro-
posed to reduce the annual turn

PHILADELPHIA. March H. KiIbane of Cleveland is still cham piOn Of the country's featherw ghts but boxing enthusiasts no longer will rest comfortable or take his crown seriously until he has consented to re-meet Frankie Brown of New York in some ring where a decision is al lowed. As a matter of fact had the Olympia of this city been one of those clubs where a verdict can be given by referee, kilbane would have lost his title last night, for he sustained an unmerciful lacing at the hands of the clever New Yorker.
 The bout marked the champions return to the ring after an absence of more than IS months. His last engagement here was in opposition to Benny Leonard and on that occa- sion the lightweight champion won the popular verdict over the CIeve- lander. Of Brown it can be said, however, that not one newspaper writer at the rinEside gave the yer dict to Kilbaue or even called the battle draw They unanimously agreed that Brown had won.
 The contest was slow and marred with al-I--ether too much holding and wrestling. kiIbane was awkward and unwilling to mix it up. He lack ed the stamina that marked his ring battles of two years ago. In the third Brown knocked him down with a stiff hook to the jaw. The cham pion remained pinned to the floor un- til the count of eight. Brown won every round.

 The Nationals have been playing spectacular basketball this season and
 have had no trouble taking into
 camp a majority of those teams
 which they have met. In it's first showing here earlier in the year, the New Workers not only gave a splendid account Of themselves but also took the locals into camp. Things should
 be different on this trp, however. for

IntercolleEe athletics are undergo ing a big revival and practically every college and university this sea son will send out l baseball team. Surely, all of them have announced srheduIes of games that bring back memories of quig-er days. And every day gees announcement of revised football, track, -ym, swimming and basketball schedules from some col leEe or university of note.
 Announcement was made today via q special despatch from Maine that Arthur Smith, former University Of Maine and Colby College trainer and coach, has been signed to handle &he Tufts College track team. Smith goes to Tufts with a fine record. During his six years as coach of the track and football teams at the U. of M. he turned out 13 championship teams.
 NT NJ. Hubby McIntire, West Vir- ginia '0S, has been named coach of the West Virginia varsity football team. I1cIntire played tackle on the West Virginia team three years and was captain of the eleven there in his senior year. For six years he was practically out of football, but in 1915 he was induced to accept the coachshtp of the ". " team and he has held that Job ever since. Ills contract ran rlt last year, but 1t was renewed toda. for two more years.
 Tordham's baseball team will hold it's first real series of workouts this week. Arthur Devlin, who Is coach ing the team, will put the candidates through a strenuous workout for the first week. He has pleu.y of good material from which to select a cap able team.
 Columbia will be represented this season l.. the Intercollegiate Tennis League made up of some of the lead ing college teams in the East The Colunsbia team will be made up mostly of veterans.
 Prospects for successful track team at Princeton wsre never bright CT than they are at the present time, Keeue Fitzpatr--k who was in charge of the cinder path men. has been working his proteges for some time on the indoor tracks. Pre-sea- son comparisons indicate, however that Princeton should score heavily in the series of outdoor meets that will be held this Spring.
