To Foster National Style.

The responsibility for art in man
nracture lies upon US all. Every
body's business is usually nobody's
business. but in this case there is a
peculiar responsibility put upon a
federation of the arts 1t is ours to
help bring about a national STYLE. to
help to set standards in a public
system of education, to encourage
home products and to adopt a
broader understanding Of them.
Associated with this movement -
said Mr.. Kent, ARE the art. trade
and design schools already estab-
hshed, which independently have
been graphing with the problem of
supplying trained designers and
craftsmen to labor. Their problems
are peculiar. chiefly owing to the
competition their students encounter
IN the products of the schools of
other countries, especially those Of
France, through the purchase nv
American manufacturers of foreign
designs. Their opportunity to show
whether their training was as thor
ough and the qualifications of their
students as competent as the Euro
pean rivals came with the war. when
the supply from abroad in a large
measure was shut off.
1T may be questioned whether
what 1 believe to be the general prac-
tee of design schools in this country
OF teaching designing without practi-
cal rendering and of the trade schools

The structure is built of Indiana
limestone, the rooms being lighted by
circular windows on the first floor
and square mullioned ones above.
The rear facade is simple but mon
umental, unbroken colonnade of nine
bays with high panel in each bear
ing an inscription.
Everything in the building is Of
Spanish origin, and all contents were
discovered by Mr.. Huntington, who
spends great deal of his time
abroad searching for treasures for
this collection. He employs no
agents; he does not patronize pro-
fessional dealers, but reserves for
himself the enjoyment of the discov-
cry and the purchase of the collec-
tions in the building and to which he
is adding treasures yearly.
Vernon Howe Bailey Drawings.
Early this year $50 drawings made
in Spain by Vernon Howe Bailey
were purchased to form part of the
permanent collection of the museum.
Mr.. Bailey is a well known American
artist. especially noted for his draw
ings of architectural subjects. He
explored Spain last year with great
thoroughness in search of pictur-
esque material. In Madrid the Duke
of Aosta made it possible for him to
gain access to many notable build
ings not always accessible to the for
eigner. Several drawings in the col
lection for which room is now being
made are of the wonderful castle of
Toro, in the north of Spain, owned
by the Duke of Aosta- 1t is highly
interesting ruins. Other picturesque
spots to be catalogued are Cuenca,
Segovia, Sepulveda. Salamanca, Ia
mora. Toro. Seville. Cordoba and
Burgos.
A striking bust in the library is
that of Don Nicholas Rivero y Muniz,
the first Count Of Rivero and the
founder of six Spanish American
journals and who, up to the time of
his death in 1919, had been for twen-
ty-four years director and editor of
the Diard de la Marina, the first
Spanish daily in Cuba
It is expected that all alterations
will be completed by September /,
when the museum will be reopened
to the public.

By CHARLES PHILLIPS.

IN any morning of the week
between and $3.50 there
gather in the entrances of

numbers Of artisans, young and old,
OF both sexes, who are admitted
ahead of the sightseers and go
scurrying of in every direction, the
cards Of admission they carry indi-
eating the gallery, basement or at
tic which they are entitled to visit.
They are representatives of the
iaboring classes. to whom the priv
tleges Of the great museum are ac-
corded to help them in the injec-
ton of art into labor.
Art Gives Its Hand to Labor.
For years the public museum had
Tor its chief aim the pleasure of the
people and the convenience Of priv
heged classes, until a progressive
directorate grasped the opportunity
TO help in the education of the peo-
pie, and now 1t is beginning to recog-
nize the part it has to play in the
labor of the people.
According to Mr.. Henry w. Kent,
secretary of the board of trustees.
the power of the collections of the
museum to give pleasure through
the TRANSMISSION of its objects by
labor into other objects is increased
q hundredfold.
The old theory" said Mr.. Kent.
that objects of art in museums were
to be seen and not touched is randi
ly giving place to one of use. Visual
instruction is good. but tactile in
struction is better. The museum has
seen the need of demonstration and
no single agency except the Govern
ment has the power materially to aid
art in labor as the museum has in
the capacity Of collector of styles
storehouse Of design. demonstrator
Of taste, associate Of schools and
general art mentor.
Some may say, and do say. that
this is not the province of art. But
such believe that art, like the Lord
moves in a mysterious way His
wonders to perform 1t is doubtful
If the Lord does. 1t is certain that
art does not. Art should move in
every way it can to help transform
the world into a pleasant place to
i've In, and in this twentieth century
1t seems clear that one of its impor-
tant activities should be closer alli-
ance with labor.

them in the national life never imag-

"The test of the degree of style
possessed by people lies in what it
makes and what it buys. The aver

gree of physical comfort, bath tubs,

To Inculcate Art in the Home.

There is to be found a striving for
effect, color schemes, harmonies and
other things in phrases of the inte-
rior decorator and art schools.
There is found also a seeking to put
into practice the triturates taken
from monthly publications, with
pages devoted to art in the home and
more pages of advertisements de-
voted to art in the shops. These
have all done much to encourage a
desire for taste in the house, and
they reach many people.
