Cites Lack of Training.
Mr. Pennell told of the 495 Amer
lean artists who offered their talents
for poster making during the late
war, only five of whom rendered their
designs in such form that they We're
ready for the press. All of the other
designs accepted had to be rendered
by specialists in the graphic arts
whose training had been obtained in
European schools
This necessary training" said Mr.
pennell, should be had in the gov
crnment bureau of printing and en-
craving
Mr.. Pennell praised the visit
