BIG FARM FAMILIES
NO LONGER CUSTOM

BERKELEY, Cal, Feb. 10
(UP)-The old-time tradition OF
big families on the farm has gone
out of date just as much as the
custom of having large families
in the city, a survey by Prof Geo:
NJ. Peterson of the University OF
California reveals.
Statistics gathered in Califor-
MIA show that the average farm
family consists Of 3.65 individ-
uals; as against 5.3 for Japanese
and 4.3S for the negroes.
Peterson points out the farm
birthrate in California is fast APP

ideal of a one-son family.
People often forget the names
and titles of persons toward whom
they feel antipathy.

HIGHER EDUCATION
DEMOCRACY'S NEED

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 10.
(UP)-Amel'ica cannot remain a
democracy unless a majority OF
its citizens obtain college educa-
tons, Dr.. Henry Thomas Moore,
president of Skidmore college,
Saratoga Springs, N. Y, said in
an address to parent-teacher
group here.
A college education is neces-
sary because without it people do
not have a proper social consci-
business, DR.. Moore said.
"If we are going to resist the
movements toward diStatorships
and retain our representative
form of government, we must
have in the United States people
who can vote intelligently," he
said. -.

Key to Understanding
OF PicaSSO'S Work

HIS comment may give the key to
an understanding of the entire
collection, for it is not unlikely that
Picasso represents in one person the
steady downward trend of civilization
and the present dominant influences
tenclng toward world cataclysm. Art
has always reflected life and still does.
the unhappy fact is that at the pres
ent time 1t quite generally reflects
the worst rather than the best. What

His works now on view are. how

as report Of progress Mr. Taylor
is one of those who harked back to
the art of the Victorian era and has
given it new turn. That which was
mid-nineteenth century seems to have
exercised upon him an especial lure,
and he has painted and drawn it with
great gusto. Take, for example, his
painting in this exhibition of Carpet
bagger's House" erected In some
Southern city with the effrontery Of
wealth and bad taste, the like of which,
however, may still be found in many a
city north of Mason's and Dixon's line.
Certainly Mr.. Taylor's presentation is
most graphic-the house and ali it
stands for is vividly put before us-but
to what purpose? 1t is not funnv-it
is certainly not beautiful. AS an his
torical record it may be of value. but
why make record of our shame?
Hamilton Mabie once said of some
OF our bad public monuments that, it

would realize they were erected
through ignorance and not in malice.

Mr.. Pescheret's best plates are, un.
doubtedly, those which set forth archi.
tectural subjects-exteriors and inte-
riors. This is the direction Of his spe.
cial training as we'll as aptitude. But
it must be admitted that some OF his
subjects, such as The Mountains at
Palm Springs" Cactus in the Arizona
Desert and Spanish Yucca" are very
charmingly transcribed. Particularly
engaging is his color etching entitled.

during his so-called Blue Period"
date roughly from 1901 to 1904 Among
these is Early Morning." a scene in
PicaSso's first studio in Paris, a paint

Gallery some years ago, and now noted
as evidencing Picasso's interest in

the color scheme OF Hispano- -Moresque
pottery.

New York. and also sculptured head

acquired for the Phillips collection.
The Rose PERIOD is best repre-
sented by Woman With Loaves." lent
by the Pennsylvania Museum, between
which and Lady With Scarf" and
Portrait of an Acrobat" both from
the Marie Hartman Gallery, there is
a gap of II years during which the
painter had studied and been intrigued
by primitive Negro sculpture. from
which he turned for expression to
analytical and synthetic cubism. by
which devious paths he had arrived
at abstraction. 1t is an extraordinary
thing that the reaction should have
brought forth in the art of Picasso

Whereas his Lady With Fan" is
essentially sculpturesque, three dimen-

linear and fat.
