he sent this Parthian shot, ut is like the
explosion of shingle factory And to
those facile men and women who turned
quickly to the erotic and exotic in art and
became passing cubists or futurists, he says
quietly, but with the assurance of jurist
citing the law to a jury, "a cad may be
clever, but never great"
Against these almost epigrammatic darts,
and by way of contrast Zolnay placed his
more dignifed estimate of art.
"Ugliness is nature perverted" he says.
"A mankind longs for beauty, but be can
not give it concrete form. 1t is for the
artist and poet who must become the spokes-
men of our aspirations, and note well that
he said "our aspirations, for, while he
speaks with authority built on long and
recognized experience, he is never didactic
nor egotistical about his own observations
and beliefs. His supreme faith in the masses
is best set forth in his creed, which has long
been set down and adhered to. 1t is:
Every work of art must express a
definite sentiment, mood or action clearly
and in such a way as not to leave any
doubt as to its significance. 1t must al
ways tell a story in some form or another,
and the more human the story is the more
it will appeal to the heart and mind of
the beholder. be he child. Unless work
of art contain such qualities ii does not
fulfill its mission, and its existence is not
justified.
As ! thoroughly believe in arts edu-
cational and elevating influence, ] cannotN
admit that work of art should be under
stood and enjoyed only by select few.
Such works, no matter how correct in
nd ma no lac
ing in emotional elements which would
appeal to the humblest, whom il would
thrill as every true work of art does.
IL art is to contribute to human happi-
ness and welfare at large its language
must be so clear and direct as to be under
stood by the largest number of people,
and to be so understood il must never fail
in such human interest as appeals TO
both heart and mind.
As member of the Societe InterDationale

Zolnay, during one of his visits to Paris
ten years ago, became very friendly with

Unlike our own country, a vast wbirrino
shop of machinery, Egypt today is, partly
from necessity, but mostly from preference
where her art is concerned, working with her
hands. The land of the Phsraohs is in
1870. almost as lacking in mechanical equip.
ment as it was thousands of years ago. In
one respect, though, Egypt is quite every bit

favorable adjustment.
Indeed, were it not for the constant fnan-
cial aid and the uncessing encouragement
given Egyptian industry by the Princess
Elhami, the country might well nigh be i'm
poverished.
WITH the foresight of a supremely wise
w woman, and the solicitation of beloved
ruler, the Princess Elhami established in
Cairo some six or seven years ago, school
of industrial arts, known as the Elhsmieh
School of Art, where the orphan boys of her
country would be instructed in a trade or
a profession. Nor did her zeal for the
perpetuation of the art of ancient Egypt
and the industrial betterment of modern
Egypt in any wise exceed the practical assist
ance that she gave for the maintenance Of
the institution. Always she is in close per

The same phenomenon occurs in the life

Whereas the individual suffers of yellow

of greed, conceit, disregard of others and
futurism. These moral poisons also produce
fever. We call it war, or betteS, war fever

comes the crisis, in which, unlike the in
dividual. the nation gets well-survives and
the world then emerges, chastened by the
ordeal, with the poison of greed and sell

ideals, better world to live in.
"Now if art rs an integral part of our
life. and if war makes for better world.
it stands to reason that war must make for
better art. That it has been so in the
past justiies the assumption that it will be
so now, and it is enough to cite Greece
after the Persian wars, which produced the
greatest period of art in the entire history of
the world.
'Of course, the last twenty years have
not been the only time in history when art
