years ago, and the industry of man
has made it so, was thought
which Mrs. Anthony French Merrill
of Chicago left with her audience
Yesterday morning as she spoke at
the Outing club on What Is Art to
You"
Mrs. Merrill said in beginning
that her lecture would be more OF
a wandering discourse and discus
sion rather than source of infor-
nation, and that while people con-
stantly asked her what she felt and
what she thought, it was necessary
ito approach art through ones
own vision" to have a true concep-
ton and meaning of the word.
She defined art as high beauty
and truth and skill for purpose of
expression" and urged leach ere
ator must have his own conception.
1t may be mysterious, but he must
the highest evolution nearest to
God, for 1t is the result of the ex-
preston of life"
In further delineation, she said !:
1.-The study of the actual world is
modern art knowledge is not real
art, but skill to interpret the flow
of the spirit.
1--WE should incorporate beauty
into education and make art part Of
our daily life.
There are four things in life:
Love, art, work and play, and art
should have Just as much to do
with our daily existence as the
other three"
Mrs. Merrill told Of some of the
recent art exhibitions, especially the
one in the Metropolitan museum,
New York, last summer, which Gre
ated so much comment for its ma
terialistic tendencies, and she eX-
planned in this connection there
are two great attitudes of mind ;
one is spiritual and the other ma
terial,' and it is towards the latter,
she felt, many of the modern school
of painters incline.
There was reference to the book
by Dr. Richard Cabot. What Men
Live By" and Mrs. Merrill showed
wonderful appreciation and keen in
sight in her descriptions.
The lecture was the last of a ser
les of four which have been given
Monday mornings at the Outing
club, for which the 200 or more
women who have formed interested
audiences have been indebted to a
group of tri-city women.
