4 AUCH interest attaches to the most recent
WI publication of the Phillips Memorial Gal
lery, THE Artist Sees Differently" essays based
upon the philosophy of q collection in the
making by Duncan Phillips, beautiful publ
cation In two volumes. one containing text and
o few reproductions in color, the other all re-
productions-245 plates illustrating works In
the Phillips Memorial Gallery
The text Of the book Is made up Of editorials
from Art and Understanding" exhibitions and
lecture notes and essays written for special
purposes and occasions around one central
thought-an insistent plea for seeking and
honoring different kinds of expression. In an
Introductory chapter Mr. Phillips declares that
this book primarily presents q report on O
collection Of modern paintings which grows and
changes and needs new commentary Beyond
that 1t pays q tribute of sincere devotion to an
old-fashioned point of view and way Of life
which are distinctly out of favor today" It is
q little difacult to realize that anything in
connection with the Phillips Memorial Gallery
can be old-fashioned out Of date.
MIR. Phillips expresses his conviction that 'the
world itself is q laboratory, in this transitopy
age. and If we look through modern art to
whatever it signifies we may judge the trend Of
the times" ct is fairly certain" he adds, that
we may expect more and more machines more
and more leisure and less and less capacity to
enjoy or profit by it If art itself becomes
automatic" Surely. with this all will agree.
He gives an excellent definition In his next
chapter Of open mindedness, which he gives US
to understand need not signify either neutrality
or even impartiality. The purpose Of an open
mind" ne says, "iS TO find ones own way
about, avoiding preconceptions, prejudices and
all other pitfalls" But how few achieve this
end.
THE closing Of the art season is marked by
l numerous exhibitions Of student work held
by the several local art schools-the Critcher
School. the Hill School, the Abbott School, Miss
Clara Saunders pupils, the National School Of
Fine and Applied Arts-have all held exfibi-
tions during the past week, and this week the
school Of the Corcoran Gallery Of Art will hold
its annual display.
Perhaps the most interesting and striking
feature Of all these student exhibitions Is the
great freedom that Is universally permitted for
students to express their own individuality, the
common acceptance Of the theory that tndi-
vidualism in art Is to be encouraged rather than
suppressed. There Is also extraordinary variety
shown In subject matter. Obviously Cd a those
who study art. even professionally, aDe Ms Gufng

IN connection with the exhibition of American

columns last week, it is interesting to know that
Mrs Drake still has almost twice as many

been sold nor given away, but which may In
due course be acquired by private collectors or

more than 100 proofs of Timothy Coles old

FILIPINO IDEA
Of LIBERTY

Japan's imperialistic designs
on Manchuria, in the opinion Of
Congressional leaders, is certain
to influence powerfully any de-
cision Congress may make on the
question Of Philippine Independ-
ence.
Senator Borah (RO of Idaho,
chairman Of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee. and a
strong opponent Of independ.
ence, agreed that recent develop
ments in the Far East would
play an important part in the
Philippine controversy.
He declared Japan's military
occupation Of Manchuria had
not changed his opinion that the
Philippine Islands should be
given their freedom.
But he admitted Japan's
activity in China would give a
powerful argument to those
opposed to surrendering the
islands and preserving the Amer.
