apple upon his golden head. There Is
no fear or terror on his features and
this is a decided contrast to the men,
tai struggle evident on the brawny
countenance OF Tell.
We now travel south for about one
mile to another tiny colony known as
Burglen, where. at the entrance of the
beautiful Schatchenthal, stands a lit
tie chapel erected in 1922 on the site
Of the house in which Tell was born.
There are three roughly worn steps
which constitute the means of enter
ing. and when once in the interior the
visitor imagines himself in a toy
church. There are three long wooden
benches on either side, each seating
about half a dozen persons, and the
aisle is hardly spacious enough to per-
nit a single individual to pass. Two
petit windows, the lower half of
wooden structure and the upper por-
ton OF stained glass, occupy the west
side Of the chapel. but little light is
derived from these. .tt.
1t would seem strange that one could
spend a few hours in 80 seemingly
Insignificant a place, but three unique
wall paintings of wondrous beauty
and color are within.
The first fresco is OF the market
place at Altdorf, which depicts a scene
after Tell had shot the apple from his
child's head. Upon the ground lies
the crossbow. and the moment has
arrived when Gessler pronounces his
determination to place Tell in a dun
geon. Gessler.a horse creates q styik-

necessary arrow in the CULVER, Gessler
promised Tell he would receive no
additional punishment II he would re-
late the truth concerning it. Relying
on this promise, Tell informed Gessler
that mad the child been killed he had
planned to use the other arrow on him.
Then, enraged beyond measure, Gessler
ordered his men to have Tell bound
and taken to a tower where he would
never more see sun or moon. While
being iured down the lake. however,
he made his escape at Tellsplatte "a
place later named after him) and
sought vengeance upon Gessler in the
Hohle Case at Kussnacht. where he
shot him.
Perhaps one OF the most touching
OF many tributes is the statue of WILL
lam Tell and that of his little son at
Altdorf, a nearby village. In the
garb of an ancient Swiss peasant, the
father Is standing upon a high stone
pedestal with the arrow of his boys
destiny in the right hand and drawn
dagger in the left, while a small boat
is shown at the base Of the statue.
These represent the episode OF the
shooting OF the apple; Tells escape
from the boat, and the Staying of
Gessler. The sculptor. kissing of Zu-
rich. has produced strength and deter
mination in his work of this statue,
while pathOs and innocence are Dor

ing figure, and the rage in his mas
ters face shows the degree OF his
fury. Tells mother and his wife, He'd
wig, plead in vain for his release, while
his second younger son clings to his
clothing.
On the east side OF the chapel there
is a painting representing Tells es-
cape from the boat which was taking
him down the lake. Just as he Is
seen swimming toward shore storm
approaches and lightning flares
through the sky. Gessler's crew are
forced to use all their energy in right
ing the boat, which affords Tells OPP
portunity to escape without pursuit.
The last fresco expresses revenge
and skilfully carries out the trapping
OF Gessler. Riding through the streets
a woman (Armgart by name) stops
him so as to plead for the deliverance
of her husband. who is imprisoned
for some slight offence. Tell energies
from behind a thicket of trees and
aims his arrow at Gessler, who sue
cumbs at the hand of the avenger.
Coming out again from this exquis-
itc little chapel, a picturesque old
square tower attracts our attention.

ton in the lake leaves one enchanted
with the spot. Traversing the spiral

vention, and by reliance upon good
drawing and technical instruction,
teaches the use OF color for har-
monious effects in design along many
decorative lines.
Not the least important feature of
the recent exhibition was the fact
that 1t was held in the Metropolitan
Museum, thus forming another service
link by which this institution is bound
to the public. 1t is gratifying to note
that this museum can AFFORD the OPP
portunities to the schools, in addition
to its extensive instruction aioong
elementary and high school pupils, its
story hours and other agencies OF
public instruction in art appreciation.
Paul G. Konody, art director OF the
Canadian War Memorials. distin-
guished London critic Of art, has writ
ten for THE SUN the accompanying
interesting account OF the exhibition.
Among the few "old masters" which
form the nucleus Of what is to be the
historic section of the Canadian War
Memorials, now exhibited at the An
derson Galleries. Is the original paint
ing of the Death Of Wolfe by Benja-
min West When this picture was
first exhibited at the Royal Academy
in London, about 1875, 1t brought forth
a very storm of indignant protest.
West had had the audacity to break
away from all time-honored tradi-
tons by depicting his figures in the
uniform Of the day instead OF turn
ing them into classic heroes. Such a
thing was unheard of. West was set
down as a rebel, a revolutionary. Had
Bolshevism been known in the eigh-
teenth century, the critics would have
denounced West as a Bolshevik.
When we look at the Death OF Wolfe
to-day, we can hardy believe that this
conventional, ultra academic piece OF
work could ever have aroused the Ire
Of the traditionalists.
The Canadian War Memorials Exhi-
bition includes very considerable pro-
portion Of paintings executed in de-
fance of the artistic tradition OF to-
day, or perhaps It would be more ac-
curate to say of yesterday. And his
tory repeats itself The artistic adj
venturer who smashes the tables Of
an arbitrary law and sets up new
tables inscribed by him in letters of
flaming gold exposes himself to hos
tile attack and derlsion. But the rebel
Of to-day becomes the classic of the
future. And the paintings which to-
day are received with protest or scep-
teal head shaking will more likely
than not be treasured by future gen.
erations, nurtured under the aegis OF
the new thought.

|HE Metropolitan Museum of Art
announces an exhibition OF
L tapestry and laces, to continue
during the summer months. The exhi-
bition OF sketches made by pupils In
the elementary public schools came to
an end on Friday. Concerning the sig
nlficance of this display Curator Kent
says:
"What the elementary schools of the
city are doing toward the improvement
of public taste was admirably shown
in an exhibition OF class work Of pupils
in decorative design at the Metropoli-
tan Museum of Art. The exhibition
gallery contained many designs In
color, together with large number Of
objects showing the execution of such
designs. In addition there were shown
in connection with many OF the exc
cuted objects. such as laces, weaving,
&C., the simple technical or mechani-
al drawings, generally known in the
trade as drafts which serve to bring
the design and process Of execution
into harmony. The things made by the
children are many and varied: there
were hats and bags and laces, decora-
tive treatments OF all kinds of cartons
and boxes and baskets, there were
printed and woven fabrics, there were
plated and painted things in straw,
weed and textile materials.
THE work shown offered a selection
from regular class work in design by
seventh, eighth and ninth year pupils.
The average age Of these pupils Is IA
years. The time given to the work, ac-
cording to existing teaching methods
laid down by the Board of Education.
Is only eighty minutes week. The
drawings and executed objects were
made under the regular class teachers
and under the direction of Frank H.
Collins, who is in charge Of art teach
ing in the. elementary schools. An in
teresting fact in connection with this
excellent display of ability is that there
are no special classes for this kind OF
work in the elementary schools, all
children receiving this training. The
purpose is to develop appreciation OF
beauty in form and color. and it is not
intended to train artists or designers
The work Is not vocational.

Of the story Of William Tell,

The story runs that one day a GER

he erected beneath a lime tree e short
ia, upon which he placed a hat, at
the same time issuing an order that
any man falling to kneel before the
same would be severely punished.
Tell, refusing TO heed this peculiar
within of the lord. Gessler, was sum
moned TO the latter's presence. and
when an explanation was demanded
Tell made no attempt at excuses,
merely stating he would not obey so
ridiculous an order. Greatly incensed,
Gessler enforced strange punishment.
Nhich was TO the effect that one OF
Tells little sons would be placed at a
specified distance with an apple upon
his head, the idea being that his father
must shoot it to the ground with an
arrow Before preparing for so nerve

arrow in his culver, and praying TO
God to guide his hand he successfully
shot the apple away without harming

curate realistic representation. The
advance of photography has led to re-
suits so wonderful as regards the reg
istration Of facts that the painter SIM
ply wastes his time in trying to COM
pete with the camera. The recogni-
ton of this state of affairs is probably
at the bottom Of much of the modern
striving for personal expression. The
painter feels 1t no longer his duty to
create a deceptive mirrorlike image of
nature, but prefers to state on canyas
a more or less abstract conception, ex-
pressed in frank terms Of pigment. He
no longer tries to conceal his medium
as though he were ashamed of 1t. He
respects his paints and uses them
boldly for the emotional interpre-

no longer at accommodating a quantity
of accurate little facts, but at the
rhythmic organization Of a big truth.

from this point of view. Gunner w.

number OF sketches, the work Of artists
who have been in service in Europe.
The sketches were executed well
within the zones of activity, and rep
resent in many instances the time
or of artists in the camouflage
division. The collection is being shown
this month at Erasmus Hall, Bay
Ridge. and Bushwick High schools.

York's art circles, is represented by a
group of six virile sketches, made
around Bar lie Due. c. c. Allen, who
is now located in Washington, D. c.,

the war region is brought out. He
Is especially happy in figure groups

Kenneth Hartwell contributes a
number of excellent sketches made in
the F'ismes and Toul sectors. His
moonlight piece, "Rue de Docteur
Denis" is especially noteworthy, as is
the "Camoufiage, Dump at Pannes''
and sketches of the artists own dug
out. A group Of oils, thumb box size,
the work OF Edward p. Knox, consti-
tutes a charming note in the exhibit

The erection projected Of three new
bridges across the Allegheny RIVER at
Pittsburg has recently been the cause
of a cooperation between the art COM
mission of the town and the Allegheny
County Commissioners which has
proved highly gratifying to the heart
Of Prof Beatty of the Carnegie Insti-
tute. He writes in connection with
the matter:
1.-THE Art Commission of Pittsburg
has been deeply interested In this prof.
ect, and the county commissioners
Addison c. Gumber, Frank j. Harris
and Gilbert f. Meyer-have loyalty CO.
operated and supported the movement
inaugurated about one year ago when
Ralph Adams Cram, the eminent
American architect, visited Pittsburg
for the purpose of delivering an ad-
dress on this subject. The first prac-
teal result of this movement was an
nounced this week by the county
Commissioners. Two able and eminent
architects residing in Pittsburg, A. B.
Harlow, the designer of the Carnegie
Institute, and Benno Jansen, a man
Of exceptional ability. have been
selected, together with a New York
firm, to provide plans for three OF
these bridges.
''In pursuing this course the COM
missioners have adopted broad and
liberal policy. one which is destined to
affect architecture in this country to a
considerable extent. 1t is a distinct
recognition of the Importance of art in
connection with works Of utility and
doubt not that the other three bridges
will be designed upon the same high
standard OF artistic merit. Thus there
will be provided in one community six
architectural masterpieces. The infiu-
ence of these works will doubtless ulti-
mately extend throughout the coun-
