COPYING THE BANE OF ART
Critic Believes That Americans Neg
isct Real Artistic Beauty
for European.

Copying is still carried so far that
ornament is copied all the time instead
of being created. says Allen Tucker,
In the North American Review. and l
am told that In offices the craftsman
must show his original for everything
he does. Out Of such q system artists
do not come.
II is generally Europe that Is copied.
/ know we came from Europe, are Eu-
ropeans, but we have ourselves Dy
now, an accomplishment Of our own,
and until recently, when there Is q
rather senseless copying Of the exter-
nal or colonial stuff, we never cast our
eyes on our own things. The buildings
of value we had we have been careless
of. Think Of dumping that post office
where 1t ruins the appearance Of our
lovely city half Think Of the savage
and senseless destruction Of st. Johns
chapel Of Trinity parish. with its un-
rivaled spire!
We copy the old things. We do not
seek to develop the artistic spirit that
made nearly everything 1t touched a
thing of delight and beauty. I think 1t
was Mr.. Lay who first pointed out what
SO few realize, that the New England
town Is the only town anywhere orig
inally built on a plan, the only town
made with a design, the only town
with feeling for form instinct in its
very bones.
We rave about Italian villages and
never see the quality OF our native
towns. I don't believe In the American
eagle screaming, but there Is no rea-
son why he should spend his time nit
ting on foreign eggs In the attempt to
hatch out what are always foreign
birds, while so often the eggs have
proved to be nothing but china some
what devoid Of life.
