graduate, and was educated at the
Bradford Academy and at the State
Normal School at Salem, Mass. She
took up library work after teaching
for several years in Vermont and
New Hampshire. Before coming to
Vergennes she was cataloguer for
four years in the Brooklyn Public Ii
brary and for year and half in
the Middlebury College Library.
Under the leadership of Miss
Chamberlin the Bixby Library has
had a steady growth in circulation,
and has increased in volumes from
5000 to 10000. During the war the
library was the center of it's local
activities. Here the meetings were
held to raise money, the books col
lected for the soldiers, and the
work of the Red Cross carried on
Here, too is the bronze, tablet in
memory Of the soldiers. After the
war a district nurse had her head
quarters in the Rest room and dur
ing the present winter a kindergar-
ten has been held in the same place.
Miss Chamberlin has made the IL
brary of great Service to the
schools and from single carton of
books first sent to one outside
school this department has grown to
eight travelling libraries. She has
conducted story hours for school
children in the library and visited
each of the local schools two or
three times year and talked about
the books to read and their care, and
during the principalship of Mr. Car
ter has made out the list of books
for the required reading in the
high school and the grades. Last
year she gave party in the library
for those who had read the books in
the lists recommended for the grades
where the pupils gave an original
play entitled Bennington Battle
Day." and another "The Girls From
3ookland." At the same time she |
awarded prize for the best paper
IN the subject "The Book l Liked |

Four young women have been

ion of the affairs of the library and

his graceful landscape with delicate

though rather hammered painter, has
a kindred tendency to add sensitive,

ightfully enriching his family orig
inal schemes. Henri Lebasque, who
rortrays young woman seated on
bench in strong light in "The Banks
ef the Seine" is q good type of the
French artist who has profited by
going into the open air. He vitalizes
thereby the familiar workmanship OF
his period raising it to higher value.
Without forsaking studio light Gus

ality. The we'll drawn heads by Ernest
Proctor and Harold Harvey, the por-
traits by Thomas Dugdale, Walter Rus
sell and Glyn Philpot, all assert them
selves as work of more than average
merit. They may not be vastly above
the average. There is no sign of great
painting about them. But these paint
ers know their trade. That the school
generally knows it, with less reliance
upon routine than is typical of Paris, is
one of the most interesting phenomena
to be noted in the British section. =
The English, too, have their Bes-
nard. They have him in Frank Brang-
wyn, whose "Susannah and the Ed
ers" is both as regards color and form
the chief exhibit on the walls. Brang-
wyn's personal quality is beyond cavil.
He is first class man, having some
thing of his own to say and saying it
with power. But he is isolated. He
does not, like Besnard, represent
school. One more point suggests itself
for comment where the British are
concerned. The sensitive, imaginative
touch which is missing from the figure
pieces is clearly visible among the
landscapes. There are beautiful out
door studies by r. A. NJ. Stevenson,
J. W. Morrice, E. A. Walton, Philip
Connard and Richard Jack. These
nainters have light, air, color and, be-
sides, personal outlooks and traces OF
emotion. The most memorable canvas
in the whole show, apart from Brang-
WINS picture, is not Orpen's allegorlcal
excursion, but landscape, "Wlndmlll
Hill" by Oliver Hall. It has the

English Art
Its kinship With the French in
Its Technical Drift

In the English section, as in the
French, there is single picture which
sets one to thinking about the charac-
ter of school. It is canvas with
portentous title, "Sowing the SEEDS
of the Irish Free State" Sir William
Orpen painted it. Merely to state that
fact is to indicate an affirmation OF
what is most significant in British art
at the moment. Orpen is one OF the
outstanding types Of his time, as al
mired leader as Augustus John. Ihere
is something in this picture to explain
why. The nude young woman domlnas-
ing the design is capitally drawn. so
is the charming colleen on the right.
SO is the lugubrious gentleman BESIDE
her. But that is all. AS an excurslon
into allegory the painting completely
fails to carry conviction. There IS noth-
ing imaginative about it. 1t is merely
a strange sort of poster. In its want
of glamour it is characteristic. There
are several other canvases here which
have an imaginative aim. There are
religious compositions by Maurice
Grieffenhagen and Robert Aiming Bell;
there is a picture of Noah and his
family by Mr.. Leon Underwood, AFTER
the Flood" an essay in the manner OF
the Italian Primtives which is not
without merit. But these things seem
the works of illustrators rather than
painters and to be compositions put
together by main strength rather than
out Of genuine imaginative fervor. The
only encouraging instances OF effort in

American Art
Its Richness in Vigor and in
Good Taste

We are expressing no patriotic pref
udice in saying that the American sec
+;on rather overshadows its neighbors.
A DISTINGUISHED Englishman or French
man would be compelled to admit that
our school is the most progressive OF
the three. 1t is weak as the others are
rzeaL in imaginative design. Ihere
are few contributors Of pictures re-
moved in subject from the everyday
rrose of life. But those few, as 1t
happens, have value. We feel the sense
of beauty operating in really charm
ing manner in Dewing's "Dance" ana
in Brush's "Modern Madonna" It's
gracious effect is visible again in the
somewhat confusing but still impress
sive picture of "The Expulsion" by
Mr.. E. F. Savage. Though this painter
has devised too artificial background
for his figures, the latter are conceived
with originality and are beautifully
drawn. Mr. Blashfield is heroicaily
monumental in his "Angcl With the
Flaming Sword" Decidedly these cpl
sodes have a serious interest. 1T IS
nossible. also, to set against the bril-
liantly academic treatment of the nude
in "a Model" by Mr.. Leopold SeyHert,
the even more brilliant individuality OF
Mr.. Arthur B. Davies in his Nevada"
Still, it is in manual dexterity that
the American exhibition is richest-in
manual dexterity doubled with fresh
ness, vigor, giving this section
tremendous advantage over the British
or the French.
1t would be hard to match in either
of the foreign groups the painterlike
swing and exhilaration of that Easter
Sunday" by Carl Mclchers, which we
have seen before in New York and else
whore and which loses nothing OF its
appeal on any renewed scrutiny Doubt
less the artist learned his craft In
