Miss Annie Beecher Scoville, the granddaughter of Henry Ward Beech CT, the brilliant lecturer, clergyman, author and reformer, will be the principal speaker at five of the ser ieS of lectures to be held during the year at the Bridgeport Art League. Probably because of the value of the sentence and probably in respect to this splendid woman, the club has chosen for the motto for it's twenty seventh season, one of Miss ScoVllle S quotations, History is the record of
 what happened; art expresses the em otions born and bred of those stern facts; history is the body, art the soul; to separate them is to kill the living past to see them united is the great vision"
