The plan OF the Wilmington Free
Arts Society to purchase pictures
rom the exhibition, from a fund raised
or that purpose, is approved by the
artist, Robert Henri,
who, by the way, does not endorse
ash prizes and medals at exhibitions.
In a letter TO Rodney Sharp, Mr..
Ienri says:
II should like every community TO
ave a will Of its own; TO be distinctly
Ike itself; 10 make its own mistakes;
o make It's own discoveries; TO choose
Is own pictures; hang them up. and
hen take them down again when they
o longer like them. and replace them
Nth such oehers as they would have
ONE to like.
ITO visit such community would

'ould shake up bit and cause re-
"There would be something In that
lace which one could not find in any
her place. We might like or we
light not like It, but the place would
ave It's effect on us. II would not be
egative.
IAN artist must educate himself, he
annot be educated. He must test
lings out as they apply to himself,
Is life is one long investigation OF
lings and his reaction TO them. II he {
