MODERN ART TREND
Sculptor Calls New Works
Jokes, Mysteries and Farces
in Lecture Here.

Characterizing the extreme in modern
art as a reaction to entertaining in the
academic principles of art, dorado Taft
noted American sculptor and member
of the National Committee of Fine
Arts, held up to ridicule and caus.
tic comment examples of the modern
school in sculpture for the amusement
OF a Community Institute audience ir
Central High School last night.
Mr.. Taft delivered his announced lee.
ture on THE Modern Trend in Sculp.
ture" in the form of running comment
upon stereopticon views of Sculptura
works which ranged from the most
academic to the most eerie type Of mod
cling. Although he did not actually
tell his audience what the modern
trend" Is, he entertained his listeners
with critical observations which rar
from sarcasm to pity.
Comments on Types.
He referred to some of the pictured
works as Jokes" others as mysteries
and still others as "farces.p The pieces
which drew this sort of fire, however
were the more extreme examples of the
art. There were many works Showing
marked evidence of the modern schoo
in which actual representation Of the
conventional suggestion of the features
which, Mr.. Taft declared, showed true
grace and academic knowledge.
Referring to cubiSm, Mr.. Taft de-
clared that all Sculptors work out their
models In planes" before they carry
the work to completion.
And that's why" he said, IT always
refer to cubism as an example Of ar
rested development"
Mr.. Taft took occasion to refer to the
current exhibition Of Belgian works at
the Corcoran Gallery of Art with bitter
sarcasm.
Extremes In Atrocities"
1--WE heard a great deal about the
atrocities committed in Belgium during
the war;" he observed, but until these
things which you can see now at Cor
coran Gallery came over here, am
afraid we really didn't know to what
extremes atrocities had gone in that UNI
fortunate country
Much of the extreme modern art
Mr.. Taft said, was a reaction to over
training.
TOO many of our artists today are
reverting to the efforts of children in
their portrayals," he contended, but l.
for one, never liked child imitators."
Mr.. Taft opened his lecture with a
series of views of works by Rodin, and
in the course of his talk he frequently
harked back to those sculptures in max
ing unflattering comparisons of tho
modernistS' efforts with those of the
master, who, he said, was the unchal-
lenged leader in his field.

SCHOOL OFFICIALS
EXPLAIN ACTIONS
Park View Plea UnConsidered
Because 1t Is "0pinion of
Individual Group"

Having failed to consider in its pub
lie meeting the Park View Citizens
Associations charge that DR.. Frank W..
Ballou, superintendent of schools, Is
opposed to the platoon system of eou-
cation, members Of the Board of Edu-
cation today explained that the associa-
tons statement will be filed without
action as the opinion Of an individual
group.
The contest of the lengthy statement
of the association which was a reply
to Dr. Ballou's assertion at the Oc-
tober 16 meeting of the board was
printed exclusively in The Star yester-
day afternoon and 1t was anticipated
by members of the Park View Associa-
ton that its views would be commented
upon at the board meeting late yester-
day.
However, when communications re-
ceived by the board were listed in the
session no mention was made of the
Park View statement.
DIR. Carusi Explains.
Speaking as president of the Board
of Education today, DR.. Charles Carusl
explained that a copy of the document
had been given to him as an individual
member of the board, and, in his opin-
ion, as it required no action by the
board as whole he planned merely to
give it to the secretary of the board for
filing with other communications.
Henry Gilligan, another board mem
Der, also received copy of the state
ment, and his views concerning the
propriety or the necessity of bringing
It to the attention of the public board
meeting conceded with those of Carusi.
He said the statement was an express
sion of opinion held by single asSo-
citation, which had a perfect right to
express that opinion, and that as such
the only action the board was called to
make was the proper filing of the docu-
ment.
According to Fred s. Walker, presi-
dent of the Park View Citizens Associa-
ton. copies of the statement had been
sent to each member of the board, al
though none had been addressed to the
Board of Education" at the Franklin
Administration Building.
Brief Comment at Meeting.
The Park View School situation in
spired only brief comment in yeSter-
days meeting. DR.. Carusi, who was
instructed at the preceding meeting to
communicate with the Office of the
United States Commissioner of Edu-
cation concerning that agency's willing
ness to undertake the study of the
Park View School organization with q
view to recommending set-up to be
established there following the COM
pletion of the two Park View School
additions in August, notified the board
that Commissioner William j. Cooper
was willing to make the study.
According to Mr.. Carusi, Commits
sioner Cooper explained that the study
was the type Of work which the Bureau
of Education Is doing in cities through
out the country and that III its inquiry
into the organization of the platoon
schools here he would call upon the
Federal Bureau of Efficiency for assist
ance. The board gave its unanimous
approval to the study of thasRark School
