From small pulley on the motor he
ran q belt to a larger pulley on a

connecting rod to the center Of the
frame that supported the springs and

The motor, when started, moved

HEIRS or THE MIDDLE AGES
Artistic of Today Are But Carrying On
the Work of the Old Master
Craftsmen.

The art Of the Middle ages is really
the art Of youth. 1t has no 1inality,
because that which it expresses can
never be finished. 1t lives with IN
measured potentialities still before it,
Until the Renaissance, and mems sub
sequent concentration upon commerce
and science, it seldom rested in the
West, but grew from one stage to an
other--as in our still living nrts-of
painting, and music, poetry and the
drama-we still move and change and
grow.
The Middle nges were the age Of
youth. 1 do not mean merely Of young
nations, but Of men who were build
Ing up the future and had unlimited
development before them. 1t was our
youth, and we are growing from It.
In so far rs our art lives--thc art Of
our intelligentsia--it Is growing from
that stem. In so far as 1t Is dead, it
Is in those forms Of art which have
ignored their own parentage, such as
architecture. ornament, the crafts,
and much sculpture. and have tried to
form themselves from ancient models
In the pedantry of the schools They
are cut off from the stem and they
languish. But painting, like music and
poetry, has gone on without a break
and Is alive today. Let us take
heart. We are the heirs Of those old
craftsmen.-Percy Dearmer.
