Vernon KELLOGG. in the Review
Curiously enough, England. whom
we have never accused of appreciat-
ing and sustaining scientific work
more than we do, has better learned
the lesson of the war in this regard
than we have. Perhaps she needed
more to learn it. At any rate. England,
seeing that Germany was able to make
the form liable war effort she did make
largely because of her aid from science,
and seeing that the final overcoming
of this effort by the allies and America
was also due to a successful appeal to
science. has already taken steps to

Music Week" To Be
Celebrated in New York
Beginning February /

New York City is to be for the week
of February l to 7 the greatest con-
cert hall in the world. At meeting
of music leaders and patrons of music
to-day in the offices of the National
Bureau for the Advancement of Music,
105 West Fortieth Street, a plan was
announced for a music week for Feb
ruary to 7 of magnitude that has
never before been attempted.
:, This forward movement to make
New York City the greatest musical
mitteeO Otto H. Kahn, Walter Damrosch,
Arthur Bodanzky, Edward Ziegler,
Berthold Neuer, Daniel Frohman, Hugo
Riesenfeld, Philip Berolzheimer, Conde
Mast, c. M. Tremaine, director of the
National Bureau for the Advancement
Of Music, and others.
Music week will be an all-inclusive
campaign. Music in industry, singing
in the theaters, clubs, schools and
churches, special concerts by orches-
tras and artists are to be among the
varied activities.
"The world is in need of renais-
Bodanzky. New York is the fitting
place for such a development. l be-
lieve that if this nation will prepare a
fertile. field of musical atmosphere and
appreciation it can be the inspiration
for greater audiences and great COM
posers."
According to Mr. Damrosch, New
York City has now become the music
center of the whole world. He says:
at is hoped that music week will
encourage a desire for more music, more
and better music. And to do this, and
to show the purposes to which music
can be put, the special committee CO.
operating with the National Bureau for
the Advancement of Music is urging the
success Of Music Week"
"a long time ago spinners, fishermen,
herdsmen, millers and blacksmiths sang
as they worked" comments Mr.. Ire

tried of having great city express it.

Mr.. Frohman promises that the thea.
ters will undertake their share in the
campaign. In speaking of the plan tc
stage mammoth concert with the while
population as performers, Mr.. Tremaine
points out that it is intended for New
York's Music Week to reach every indi
vidual. There will also be an effort te
show the practical usages to which
music can be put in nationalzing anc

large, decorative kindly Mr.. H. R.
Rittenberg, make worthy companions
for Mr.. Hildebrandt's exhibit. The sea
pieces are led by the fine "surf at
Skagen" with which Mr.. Emil Carlson
has won the Carnegie prize. Some
thing of the grandeur of the elements
has crept into this composition, though
its beauty is essentially that of har-
mony in white, a technical tour de
force. Mr.. H. R. Buffers "Northern
Lights" is an interesting attempt to
make pictorial use of strange natural
phenomena. The thing is we'll done,
yet is not wholly satisfying. The
trouble seems to lie in the theme. The
fantastically illuminated sky was
doubtless impressive when the artist
saw it on an August night off the Maine
coast. 1t goes but awkwardly within
the confines of a picture frame. Mr..
Butler seems happier in the small,
nominally negligible sketch called
"Easterly Storm" There are few pic
lures to keep Mr.. Carlsen's "Surf" COM
pany, pictures of the sea which esaay
to express it's weight and movement, by
Mr.. E. Hudson apd Mr.. w. R. Ritschel.
The characteristic marines, however,
are moro placid water front studies,

Anna Fisher, Miss F. W. Howell, Mr..
Hobart Nichols, Mr.. H. S. Eddy and MIR.
Jonas Lie. Mr.. Lie has surpassed him
self. His Lifting Fog" a picture of
fishing boats in harbor, has a finer
atmospheric beauty, a finer tone, than
we have hitherto observed in any of
hs' works.
The landscapes, as always, make the
ground swell of the Winter Academy,
the sustaining majority of uniformly
capable and sensitive work. 1t is in
standard of the American school, how,
as one moves through the galleries,
one follows their influence as though it
we're a golden thread. 1t is so year
fore and they repeat, it is true, the
same effects. but they have so much
personality and know their trade so
we'll that there is never anything mo-
notonous about their large body Of
work. There are a few artists among
them who have romantic tendencies.
Mr.. Charles S. Chapman, for example,
paints the forest in his picture Of "The
Deserted Cabin" in an almost operate
spirit of sylvan mystery. Mr.. R. S.
Woodward, painter of "Out of the
Forest" shares his scenic sentiment

strays not unprofitably from architec.
