RY EREpERIc J. HAskIN

NEW YORK CITY, Oct. 27.-A World Series baseball hero is more suitable inspiration for a modern sculptor than a Greek athlete dead two thousand years. This is the claim of Gertrude Boyle, the New York sculptor.
 Why shouldn't we turn to modern life in seeking motifs for fountains and monuments?" asks Miss Boyle. "A baseball player or college runner is every bit as picturesque and dra- matfc a figure as discus thrower. Why should we always ape the old Greeks? They would not have un- derstood if. They regarded their games and their athletes as worthy subjects for the beautiful sculpture on their temples. What we call clas- sic now was for the Athenians pro- gressive. modern art.p
 Miss Boyle has for some time held this belief. And now it is beginning to find acceptance. A statue of Christy Mathewson is being suggest ed for Central Park, and Miss Boyle is working on the model It is to be a symbolic statue, representing the spirit of baseball.
 Miss Boyles theory Of the relation of sculpture to life is not confined to sports. She explains that 'art should be responsive to the spirit of the times, consciously and unconsciously reflecting the life about the artist. This is what really makes classic art "a true portrayal of the pleasures, sorrows, games and activities of the day in which the artist lives"
 We have seen this theory applied to the soldier memorials recently erect ed in so many communities. The bronze figures show the soldier of the great war with all his accoutre- ments and in his uniform and tin hat. The Greek warrior is conspicuously absent in most of these monuments.
 But the modern framer, immigrant, statesman, factory girl, and coal miner are still neglected.
 Further, Miss Boyle urges that we abandon the hoary convention that statues are for the dead only. Ac- cording to custom, great man may have his portrait painted and it may be hung in a place of honor, and nothing is thought of it. But he must be dead and buried before he can be immortalized in bronze or stone.
 The Worship of the Dead
 The progress of sculpture is being held back, this sculptor claims, by these outworn ideas. An artist, SCI enlist or phllanthr0plSt achleNe es great things for which he will surely be remembered. But the sculptor has no encouragement to study living genfuses when he knows that he will not be able to place his work until the subject has long been buried.
 In spite of this situation Miss Boyle has modelled a number of mod ern celebrities from life, and some oi the statues have been placed.

Whistler was regarded as radical when he called his paintings Noe turnes," preferring not to hamper the imagination of spectators by de- scriptiVe titles. So, today, the artist says, See what you can in my work. If you don't see the same thing did, it doesn't very much matter. But by all means use your imagination" This forces the inspector of pictures and statues to think and to use his eyes is he is to see the work at all.

 'The whole thing is wrong" insist ed Ignatius. ''All it does is to get the auctioneer alIotuv good publicity. get the buyers name in the news paper and keep the unemployed out of satisfactory employment. It's a return to slavery and step in de- fiance of Americas sacred institu- tions.'
 Lay off that stuff" countered the wife. The surest way to put any thing over successfully these days is to brand 1t as a defiance of American institutions and principles.

Letter No. 4
~ GOOD BEGINNING"

Like nearly every one in this coun-
try, our reason for coming was our
desire to own home. We had lived
for good number of years in grain
country, so land was high and rent kept
pace with it. Crops there were not
sure, but sort of gamble and now thu
grain prices are tumbling we did well
to leave. Land is cheaper here on ac-
count of its wild condition
We have not been here very long,
only a year and a half. so have not a
very large acreage cleared Perhaps
three acres would be pretty close es-
innate. \ great deal of time was ex-
pended on our new road this year and
in planting and harvesting crops on
rented ground
The first thing to be accomplished
was to select and make a garden spot
The various methods employed were
all more or less strenuous, but who eX-
poets to accomplish any Worthwhile
task without effort?
The level bank on the north side OF
the creek was selected. ChOpping and
burning the brush was next in order
and then the trees were cut. These
We're dragged off and piled for lumber
and stove-wood, according to value.
The next question was a big one
the stumps. Having purchased a hand
power Martinson stump puller, the
small ones were soon out of the way
The stumps that were too large for the
stump puller were first given a lift
with liberal shot of dynamite and
then the stump puller was applied.
The breaking pillow and disc were the
next implements called into use. A lib
eral coat of stable manure had been
spread before blowing and discing, thus
making the ground quite rich The last
process was a thorough dragging BE-
fore the planting
Most of the plot was planted to p6-
tatoes and rutabagas and a good crop
of potatoes was realized
After another good blowing and drag
ging this last year an immense amount
of garden truck was harvested.
Some white corn, not native of this
state, planted with potatoes and
squashes. attained height of nine

| feet and produced ears, so heavy they
hung to the ground. The corn matured
early enough TO escape the frost and
make fine seed for next year.
We are firm believers in fire as n
great aid in land-clearing. OF course
then seeding follows the fire and then
pasturing helps to break out and thin
the brush. Last spring more than one
hundred and sixty acres were seeded
and fenced for pasture and logging
roads seeded to cut for hay.
Another valuable asset of the north
ern Wisconsin cut-over lands is the
pulp wood, or bolts Last winter twelve
to fourteen men were kept busy on
two hundred eighty acres all winter,
cutting, skidding and hauling them.
There are also a great many logs suit
able for lumber which means Il lot 10
a new settler.
There is always road-making, grad
ing or some work to do to make ex-
penses as there is a lot Of building be-
ing. done around here and lots of new
settlers moving in. There have been
eight families move within two miles
Of us since we came.
There are an awful lot of Wild ber-
ries real close to us SO they are a
pleasure to pick in summer and a
pleasure to eat in winter
Altogether we think good, old Wis
cOnsin is the garden spot of the earth.
You have to work it of course, to get
anything out of it. but it's we'll worth
the working
