heavy snowfall during that
week made land communica-

miles of territory. =
With the new snOwplow in
operation, it is expected to

with immediate commendation on the part Of
the critics Mr.. Bruce now confesses frankly
that printed prise raised his work In the
estimation not only Of his friends but of him
self, and the result was that he gave up busi-
ness and went to live in little hill town in
Italy called Antioch Corrada, a town already
discovered and claimed as residence by his
friend, Maurice Sterne, painter and sculptor.
There for year Mr. Bruce shaved at the tech
nique of painting and at the end Of that time
made bonfire of his work. Two more years of
effort, and another exhibition was held In New
York at the Reinhardt Galleries, again most
favorably received. This followed close on the
heels of an award made to him for a painting
of boesoming pear tree shown in the Car
negie Institutes International Exhibition, and
comprised chiefly Italian landscapes but also a
few flower and still-life studies Some of the
critics found his works essentially modern,
others extremely traditional, but all were agreed
that they had individuality and charm.
Since the Carnegie award and the exhibition
at the Reinhardt Galleries, Mr.. Bruce has been
in California where among other notable works.
he produced mural painting depicting the sky
scrapers of San Francisco silhouetted against
the bay for the San Francisco Stock Exchange.
This Winter has been spent in Washington. and
the majority OF works TO be shown in the forth
coming exhibition recent. Among them,
however, is painting of tulips in bowl
shown at the Reinhardt Galleries. which is par
ticularly characteristic and which represents
most admirably special phase of his work.
distinguishing feature of Mr.. Bruce's paint
ings is their spacious effectiveness, a third
dimensonal quality combined with q strange
typographical accuracy He is an excellent
craftsman; his pictures not nature one
sees it from window but as seen through an
artists eye. He does not hesitate to attack
elaborate compositions, but whatever he paints
he simplifies.
Mrs. Helen Appleton Read, writing of Mr..
Bruces work in THE Arts" some time ago,
said: THE word serenity must be frequently
used in any appreciation and analysis of Ed
ward Bruce'S painting; it is his essential quail
ity, the of his appeal. 1t is this serenity
and calm certainty that have appealed to people
dedicated TO the strenuous life. In these pic

paintings by Edward Bruce which is
to open in the Corcoran Gallery of
II Art Tuesday and continue until the
end of May. Mr.. Bruce IS one of
those rare individuals who have made a real
contribution in the field of art, painting pic
lures Of kind which have not been painted
before and in way which not only satisfies
connoisseurs but brings delight to all.
1t is extraordinary that In this present day
of innovation and experimentation a painter
going his own way, not unmindful, but TO an
extent regardless of tradition, without self
consciousness or purposeful originality should
discover what seems to be new truth and to
bring into happy union habits Of thought which
are elementally Oriental and Occidental Per-
haps this achievement may seem the more re-
markable when 1t is known that Mr.. Bruce was
first business mana lawyer who had gone
into foreign trade-one who turned to art as
recreation; but, the other hand these facts
may be found significant There is much to be
said for the unusual approach.
In an article in '"The Studio" some time ago
Mr.. Bruce Interestingly told of how he turned
to art and what he was trying to do with it.
IAN my life" he said, "I have had the urge
to paint landscape pictures. AS q boy I spent
much time in the study of drawing and paint
ing and in outdoor sketching. thought that
was to be painter, but gradually, as my tech
nical equipment increased, came to feel that
had nothing to say with paint that seemed
worth saying. So gave up the idea OF making
it my profession, went to college and law school,
practiced law in New York and Manila and
went into foreign trade. Sketching became my
hobby during vacations and became much
interested in the study and collection of Chi
nese landscape paintings Through living with
these marvellous pictures reached the under
standing that their beauty came not only from
their realistic and sympathetic reproduction of
natural scenes but from rhythmic compost
ton which enabled the Chinese masters to
Rna and nfta to aT1na fIaa raaf hao1Y
within the special limits of picture"
AS SO often happens, knowledge of art with
Mr. Bruce led to a better understanding of
nature, and the more he looked the more he
was enabled to see nature in terms of pictures
pictures which gave him, he declares, 1.-The sense
of well-being which landscape alone can give"
Naturally, the next step was to paint pictures,
and when this step was taken he found that
he had a message. That was in 1919 and 1920,
ssvhen Mr.. Bruce was living in New York, and
the result of his first years work
hibition at the Bourgeois Galleries which met

But it should not be forgotten that Mr..
Bruce has spared no pains to master his art,
and Is a skillful craftsman as Wen as a sensi-
tive artist
4 AIRS. LOUISE KIDDER SPARROW Of this
w city, who is well known for her portrait
blsts and statues, has designed and modelled
an elaborate fountain which she hopes may at
some future time be erected In Potomac Park.
It Is an allegorical theme built around the
quotation: "I Shall Give Thee Living Water"
A figure of a Greek sphinx-woman's head,
lions body wings-is represented as sitting on
a huge cone-shaped rock around which are
grouped six figures, four male and two female.
The water springing upward falls upon the
sphinx and these figures, each Of which typi-
f1eS q human characteristic. Directly in front
is young man typifying Defiance; at his right
is young woman kneeling in an attitude of
Grief; over her bends a man in Compassion
An old man at the rear with his back turned
to the Sphinx stands for Stoicism. To his
left. passing around the fountain, is a youth
full of life and joy, catching the falling water
with open hands. Finally seated figure, with
open Bible on knee represents Peace and Wis
dom. A spiral stair will be indicated on the
central rock, suggesting the aspirational urge
of human thought and endeavor. The sculp-
tors thought Is that in this fountain will be
told the allegory Of Life, its mystic problems
with the rock Of hardshipS but also the JOY
wisdom and peace which flow from the Living
Water and its eternal spring. Mrs. Sparrow
has completed only the first model She will
now proceed to put her theme in larger form,
from which 1t can eventually be produced on
a heroic scale. 1t is indeed an ambitious m-
dertaking, charming allegory
In Mrs. Sparrow's studio at 1861 Crescent
place she has casts of many Of her works
which have been put in permanent material,
bronze and stone. Among them two
three charming little portrait heads of children
and two extremely engaging nude hgures-one
OF man OF the Greek warrior type, the other
of woman crouching in despair-both ex-
ceedingly well modelled
IN the Howard University Art Galleries is now
to be seen collection of 81 paintings by
Valentin de zubiaurre, a distinguished Spanish
artist who, with his brother Ramon, hon.
ored by a special exhibition in the Museum of
the Jeu de Paume in Paris about 10 years ago.
The characteristic feature of the art of both
brothers is the essentially Spanish touch and
atmosphere they give to their paintings. The
fact Is that the only two countries IN which
contemporary art is still nationalistic are Spain
and Sweden both of which have in measure

erS in 8.3 Per Cent Cut
in Salary.

ganization meeting tomorrow is expected
to group the public school system off,
GERS with the teachers in the applica-
ton of the furlough plan to the school
system personnel
This was indicated today following
a conference held with DR.. Frank w.

sentatives of various personnel groups

be given the 80 days furlough
DR.. Ballou today declined to say what
decision had been reached at the con-
ference. explaining the plan would be
put before the School Board at its meet
ing tomorrow and that pending conSid-
Grafton by the board he should make
no comment. He said, however. the
plan had been evolved to provide the
most equitable treatment to the differ
ent classes of school employees.
It was learned, however. that the
grouping of officers and teachers for the
pay cut in lieu of the furlough will be
recommended in order to provide the
greatest efficiency for the school sys-
TEN. Through the cut, the officers
would not be permitted to take furlough
time off during the school season when
they are needed on the job.
The School Board meeting at which
the application of the economy measure
TO the school system will be discussed
will mark the organization Of the board
for the new fiscal year. DR.. Abram
