beauty, he cannot help but de.
velop art appreciation.
1t has been shown by investi.
cation that school children of the
same age taken from different
surroundings win vary in appreci-
alton. This is also true of adults.
The levels of appreciation ar
range themselves in the following
manner:
Level /. The picture is judged
entirely on the basis of subject
matter. No thought seems to be
present in the mind of the observ-
er indicating that the picture is a
work of art, thus placing this
type of judgment outside the
field of esthetic appreciation.
Level 2. The picture is judged
as a work of art with emphasis
slight consideration being given
placed on the ideas expressed,
to form.
Level 8. The picture is judged
on formal and especially on tech
nical points and little or no at
tention is paid to subject or con-
ception. Artists in particular are
likely to judge on this basis.
Level 4. This is the specialized
judgment of the collector of art.
He selects the rare, the old or the
genuine, rather than the common
place and modern. Quite often
he judges a picture because It
bears the name of a great master.
even though the beauty of the
picture be slight, or out of pro-
portion to the value placed upon
it.
Level 5. The truly esthetic type
of judgment is that which, though
based on considerations of form
and content, fully understands
the aims of the artist. All phases
of the picture and every appeal
will be involved. Being in closest
touch with the problems and pur-
poses of the artist, this attitude
brings the most enjoyment.

Wolves 19, TT. Peck School IS
(By Coach Boe)

Wy OOoCh pOCI
The Wolves defeated the strong
FIT. Peck Indian school team on
the latter's floor on Friday, Dec.
5 by the score of 10 to Is.
The Wolves played a steady
game and were in the lead 10 to 5
at half time. The Indians came
back strong in the third quarter
and Myrick rang in three baskets
and Archdale one to make the
count IS to II in their favor be-
fore the Wolves got started. Here
Lindsey went in at guard in place
of Clark and Clark shifted up to
forward in place of Lowell. The
Wolves settled down and tied the
count at three-fourths time. In
the last quarter the Wolves forg-
ed ahead, still playing an almost
alright defense and won 10 to IS.
1t is interesting to note that
Poplar high school won from the
same team by a score of 26 to 20
last Wednesday, Dec. 10th. If
scores indicate anything Poplar
and Wolf Point should stage a
real battle this year.
The Fit. Peck Indians have won
Brockton and have twice de-
Culbertson this year.
They will play a return game on
Wolves floor some time later.

Art ~Appreciation

Synopsis of Assembly Talk Given
Dec. 3 by Miss Reed
Telling a story In picture form
involves composition similar to
that in writing poetry and PROSE
all unnecessary detail must be
omitted. To do this the artist
makes one figure or group of fig
ures occupy the most important
place in the picture. This is call
ed center of interest. The artist
emphasizes this center of interest
by arranging the central figure or
figures within an outline which
forms a pyramid, circle, diamond.
triangle or oval pattern.
Interesting picture patterns are
provided by various line arrange
ments. The curved lines express
beauty and grace. The perpendi-
cular lines express dignity and
solemnity, and the horizontal
lines express repose and serenity.
Rhythm, unity, balance and vary
ing intensity in color are import
ant characteristics of good pic
lures.
All evidence seems to point &c
the fact that are appreciation can
be developed through study. A
person who appreciates art usual
ly has more or less contact with
works of art. If he has lived in

For a long moment nothing was
said. Twenty people stared at the
back of the driver. Twenty pairs
of ear heard the wild rush Of wind
outside: a noise which up to this
time had been drowned by the mo-
tor speeding through the night.
The driver was young. He had
wide shoulders and a fresh color
In his cheeks. He was used to
these long, cross country runs; he
knew how to handle people and
he understood the temperament of

shadow seemed to rest on his face.

through the listening passengers. A

Wolves VS.. Nashua

The Wolves trounced Nashua in
the last game Of a double header
last Friday. Dec. II by the score
of A to II.
Both teams showed their abil-
ity to score as 6 different Wolves
contributed to the A points, while
each of the 5 on the Nashua team
contributed to their total.
The Wolves showed good pass
ing and defensive ability but at
times seemed off on their ability
to locate the basket.
Ten different Wolves got a
chance to show what they could
do during the game. There is
more competition for positions
this year, and 1t is possible that
ten or more will be carried on the

WILL SPEED ACTION
ON PENSION CLAIMS
Distress of Retired U. S. En-
pIcyes to Be Relieved by
Adjudication Soon.

In order to relieve distress among
retired Government workers whose
annuity checks are still held up for ad-
judication, 1t was announced today by
z. w. Morgan, acting commissioner Of
pensions. that when increases under the
new pension law have been cleared out
of the way before the end of this month,
the Pension Bureau will concentrate on
clearing up the new claims, which have
not yet been adjudicated.
Many New Claims Filed.
Retired Government workers have
suffered, according to the National
the Pension Bureau Is so far behind in
its adjudication Of claims, especially
news ones. Many persons who retired
from service as far back as last July
have not as yet received their first
pension checks, Miss Mentally said, ac-
cording to complaints being registered
at her ONCE.
Acting Commissioner Morgan ex-
planned that the cause Of delay was the
unprecedented amount of claims and
additional work piled upon the Pension
Bureau by the new retirement law.
More claims have been received by the
Pension Bureau, he said, since July
than during all of last year. This has
increased the load on the bureau until
1t has been unable to keep pace with
the claims.
Out of 17,768 claims that were on the
rolls July /, he said, 1854 had been
adjudicated, and up to and including
last Saturday 12,189 had actually been
paid. This leaves slightly more than
1904 Of this type of claims, most Of
which are for increases, and these are
expected by Mr.. Morgan to be cleared
UP before the end of this month.
Bureaus Work Increased.
The situation regarding new claims
filed since July ! Is another chapter In
the statistical story. There have been
filed since the 1st of July 3,640 new
claims, Of which 1884 have been adj
Indicated. Work Is being done on these
gradually, but Mr.. Morgan promised
today that as soon as the old claims
for increases were cleared up by the
end Of this month, then the efforts Of
the bureau would be concentrated On
the clearing up of new claims. He eA-
poets the bureau to catch up on all of
these by January l. He thought this
morning that very few, If any, of the
old July claims were still pending, as
they were working on the Oldest claims
first.
Provisions OF the new pension law
have greatly increased the load on the
bureau, Mr.. Morgan said, but the work
would be turned out as rapidly as pos
sible under limitations of the size Of
force at his command.
