Canada put over half a million

skill. and what he sees he puts down
tellingly. 1t Is quite apparent that had

sary to make haste. and the speed and
incessant production have to be paid for.
All these water colors of Mr.. Flagg
are exceedingly snowy. and at first
glance the eye Is distinctly invited. but
alas! there are so many discrepancies.
due to the hasty workmanship, that
close study of them is fraught with
painful results. To cite errors In
craftsmanship Is scarcely worth while.
but 1t may be emphasized again that
craftsmanship is only the stepping
stone to expression and that without
poetry or lofty emotion of some kind
skill is OF slight service. Mr.. Flagg
seems singularly calm ir temperament
