the scene of destruction, determined to
save 1t. bought the materials, brough.

TINE American Academy in Rome,
chartered by Congress, with Of
fees In the Octagon in this city
i and at 101 Park avenue, New
York, has just issued a report
covering the past year, which includes
certain items Of special interest at this
time.
The American Academy in Rome was
founded largely through the instrument
tally and foresight Of Charles F.
McKirn, a member Of the Mcmillan
president of the American Institute of
Architects. The plan for the academy
took shape in Mr.. McKim's mind at
the time that the Mcmillan Park
Commission was studying city plans
abroad, and In particular during visit
to Rome. 1t is to an extent. therefore,
the child of the Park Commission and
the American Institute of Architects.
The purpose of the American Academy
in Rome is to provide a place Of resi-
dence and work for architects. sculp-
tors, painters. students Of archaeology,
and most lately music and landscape
architecture, who show extraordinary
ability and wish to round out their stu
dent experience with a better under
standing of classical art, the great ira
dition.
At first the academy was in rented
quarters. Later, through the generosity
of the late Pierpont Morgan, a magni-
ficent building was erected on the Jani-
culum Hill adjacent to beautiful villa
which had been bequeathed to the
academy as home for the director.
During the past year the Garden Club
II fellows in fine arts in attendance and
3 in classical studies: % visiting stu
dents in fine arts, and 9 in classical
studies: whereas in the Summer school
there were 40 visiting students in the
fine arts and So in classical studies.
Some of the most successful and bril-
liant of our present day sculp6ors. archi-
tectS and painters are former Roman
fellowship holders.
During the pas year the Garden Club
Of America raised fund of $4,000 to
endow a fellowship in landscape archi-
lecture, and this year the second incum-
bent of this fellowship will be appointed.
The annual exhibition of the work of
both schools, which occurred during
the past Summer, was opened by the
King and Queen Of italy and by the
American Ambassador.
The various academies were for the
first time asked to join in the annual
exhibition of the Societa Amatori Gull

Canton's Exports
Branded Inferior

Fearing further loss of trade if the
quality of exported goods drops lowei
or continues at its present standard,
the chairman of the Hongkong Chan-
Der of Commerce has issued a warn-
ing to exporters and Chinese dealers
pointing to the fate of Canton As
center. He specifically
referred to the adulteration of wood
oil and essential oils, the poor quality
of ginger, the lowering of the s'and.
ard of packing and the quality OK .ice,
which he said had been the orosr ui
the day. Such adulteration, the SPEAK
er continued, has resulted In the less
of prestige and trade. This is only
in keeping with the history of Chinaa
export trade and calls to mind tha
loss of the tea trade to Canton, tbs
failure to improve the culture CT silk,
and the troubles over the export
standards Of cassia and of almost every
other article that can be mentioned'
the chairman concluded. Exporters
and dealers are urged to maintain this
standard at level as to do credit "a
