Gifts to COrcoran
Are Now on View

At the present time the Corcoran
Gallery of Art is showing, as of spe-
cial interest, the seven pieces of
sculpture by Anna Hyatt Hunting
ton which it acquired by gift during
the summer. These. arranged as a
group, are effectively displayed in
the southeast corner gallery on the
first floor, adjacent to the gallery
given over to the sculpture by Barge
and in conjunction with a very
charming collection of etchings by
Whistler, bequeathed to the gallery
by Mr.. Garf1nckel.
During the summer the Corcoran
Gallerys collection of early Ameri-
can portraits has been augmented
by two loans. One, a seated por-
trait of the Right Rev. Richard
Charming Moore, second Bishop of
Virginia, by Henry Inman Q801-
1846), lent by Douglas D. Hall,
and a portrait of Mrs. William
Digges (nee Anne Attwood). ascribed
to Benjamin West and lent by Mrs.
Jerome M. Graham.
A new edition of the handbook of
paintings, sculpture and other ex-
hibitions in the Corcoran Gallery s
permanent collection (exclusive of
the w. A. Clark collection), which
for some time has been in, prepara-
ton, will come from the press and be
placed on sale sometime this month.
The Corcoran School of Art re-
opens tomorrow, under the same
management as recent preceding
seasons.

Jopon Backs Housino

Construction of 10000 small resi-
dences and 300 apartment houses to
meet the serious dearth of housing
facilities in industrial zones has been
arranged for by the welfare min.
1stry at Toxic. The apartment
houses would accommodate 400
workers each. It is estimated that
the needs of Japan's workers can
be met only If 1000 new houses
and $500 apartment buildings are
constructed. To carry out the plan
the government must lift the re-
strictions imposed on building ma
terials as result of the Chinese
situation. Meantime, the govern
ment is encouraging large industrial
concerns to construct homes and
dormitories for their workers and is
urging smaller companies to invest
Jointly with local authorities in sites
on which to build houses for the

nounced to open next Saturday, Oc-
tober 6, and continue through Oc-
tober 81. It will consist of etchings
and dry points of New Orleans and
other places in Louisiana by Morris

more years ago. Color prints by Will
Simmons will follow in November.
In the large hall adjacent to the
foyer will be held in November the
annual exhibition of paintings
sponsored by the General Fedora
ton Of Women's Clubs. at which, as
usual. numerous prizes will be

are many books which in one way
or another deal with the relation
ship of life and religion. At a time
when part of the world is unhappily
at war and the rest of the world is
unsettled, it would be strange If
there were not searching for some
thing steadying and certain. Much
thought has been spent and many
words have been written on the
part religion and the church should
play in the social and political life
of a nation.
Church and State In Contem-
porary America: A Study of the
Problems They Present and the
Principles Which Should Determine
Their Relationship" by William A.
Brown, is a scholarly presentation
of facts and ideas from Protestant
viewpoint. Discussions of the effects
of Christian principles on modern
culture will be found In Creative
Christianity" by Smaller Mathews,
and A. S. Duncan-Jones gives a
very comprehensive study of the
background of religion in Germany
in his book, THE Struggle for
Religious Freedom in Germany"
During the past summer months
the relation of religion to democracy,
education and government and the
contributions it has already made
to these secular activities of society
have been seriously considered at
the summer conferences and insti-
tutes. The Institute of Public Al
fairs held at the University of Vir-
ginia and the World Congress on
Education for Democracy, which
took place at Columbia University
were addressed by such outstanding
religious leaders as DR.. Edmund A,
Walsh, Rabbi Morris S. Lazaron,
Rev. F. Ernest johnson and Sir
Josiah Stamp. Each Of these men
is the author of one or more books
which are in the library.
DR.. Stamp, an expert economist
as we'll as a student of the New
Testament, has written a book called
christianity and Economics" in
which he presents the possibly
startling idea that Christian prin-
ciples embody no rules for rebuild
ing our economic or political sys-
TENS. The influence which Chris
tianity should have, he believes, is
a more indirect but a more sub
stantial one.
Besides the numerous books which
have been and are being printed
dealing with religion in life, there
are the denominational and inter-
denominational magazines to be
found in the Public Library refer
ence room. The Readers Guide to
Periodical Literature also reveals
wealth of material in non-religious
magazines. Under such headings as
Religious Education" Christian
Ethics" apd "Christian Sociology
may be found articles expressing thu
up-to-date thinking Of modern men

Exhibitions Held
HOnOred A. I. A.

In addition to the architectural
exhibition set forth by the American
Institute of Architects in the Cor
coran Gallery of Art and that of
EARLY Architecture in the Deep
South at the Library of Congress,
two other exhibitions were held in
this city last week during the four
day A. I. A. Convention which were
especially interesting to students Of
art and culture as well as those of
the architectural profession. One
OF these was in the gallery Of the
Department of the Interior and de-
voted to the official architecture of
Washington. The other, entitled
Trends in American Architecture,
as reflected in the design of Govern
ment buildings. was held in the gall
leries OF the Public Buildings Ad-
ministration, Seventh and D streets
S.W. The latter was made up of orig
lnal drawings and photographs
which traced the progressive steps in
architectural design and changes in
| construction methods from l84O.
when Robert Mills was appointed as
first supervising architect, to the
modern functional buildings OF to-
day designed under the supervision
OF Louis A. Simons, who has held,
for some years now, the same re-
sponsible Office that was once Mr..
Mills. Included in this exhibition
were winning designs submitted in
recent competition, among which, Of
special Importance, that for the pro-
posed Smithsonian Gallery Of Art.

tural exhibition. the section of fine

from such homes? 1t would seem
logical.
Florida is represented by buildings
in st. Augustine. strongly Spanish
in type, among which is one Of "The
Oldest School"-possibly in this
country.
To make the story complete, Miss
Johnston takes us to North Caro-
lima, Virginia, and even Maryland,
showing us, in the first, of chief in
terest, the Court House at Edenton
in which, by the way. is one of the
finest assembly or ball rooms in the
South, the Hayes" plantation home
on Albemarle Sound, about six miles
from EdentOn, which was once the
residence of the Royal Governors Of
the Colony, and the Belo house in
Winstom-Salem. stately and digni-
fed urban residence.
Variety is given the exhibition by
the inclusion of numerous interiors,
showing fine paneling and wood
work-stairs, banisters, and door and
window frames. Those from Vir.
ginia homes, and houses in South
Carolina, are among the best OF
these, perhaps the best of all time.
The Maryland showing is small,
being limited to only two or three
examples; but after all, Maryland is
included only by courtesy in an ex-
hibition of Architecture of the Deep
South.
Destined for Library.
The negatives of all these prints
and many more made In this and
previous years, will 60 into the
Library of Congress archives of
American Architecture, organized
and built up by and under the direc-
ton of DR.. Leicester B. Holland,
Chief of the Division of Fine Arts,
through the cooperation of the
Carnegie Corporation of New York,
which has made several enabling
grants for the purpose. The incep-
ton of this project dates back to
the Fredericksburg photographs
which were originally made by Miss
Johnstone under private patronage,
but it has been enlarged again and
again as potentialities were dis
covered.
Miss Johnston has but lately re-
turned from three months In the
Deep South, during which time,
despite almost incessant rain and
intense heat, she made more than
500 negatives. She is planning to
return to this fertile hunting ground
shortly to correct certain omissions
and complete her record.
The photographs that she made
in South Carolina have been. as
many know. published in a hand

text by authoritative writer's, by the
Carolina Art Association; and ma
terial for volume to be devoted to

early publication by the University
of North Carolina Press.
This exhibition in the Library of
Cogress will continue for some weeks,
possibly throughout the season.

also studied under Fabj Altini pres.
ident Of the Academia di San Luca.
With this background one is not
surprised at the character Of her
work. She has striven to make not
only faithful likenesses Of the physi-
cal appearance Of her subjects, but
also to capture the Intangible reality
or personality, which is more dis.
cernible in some people than in
others.
Busts Of Leaders.
A bust Of a young man in her
gallery bears a striking resemblance
to Mrs. Johnson; upon inquiry she
admits he is her brother. Although
women have perhaps formed the
majority of her subjects, she has
made many busts of men, including
such noted persons as John Bur-
roughs, Gen. John A. Logan and
Dr. James l.. Hughes of Toronto,
a distinguished educator in Canada
for 40 years. Her bust of Hiram w.
Thomas land also that of Mrs. John
A. Logan is owned by the Chicago
Historical Society.
The Metropolitan Museum OF Art
has Mrs. Johnsons bust of Susan
B. Anthony, which impresses some
people as her outstanding achieve
ment. Created after the sculptor's S
intimate acquaintance with the sub
ject, this bust was approved by Miss
Anthony and was praised by dorado
Taft. The United States Govern
ment reproduced it on the COM
memorative stamp issued August
26, 1886, the 18th anniversary Of
the adoption of the Anthony amend
ment. Two hundred and twenty
five million Of these stamps were
issued.
1t is gratifying that Washington
is the home not only of these ex-
cellent works in sculpture, but also
Of the artist who created them.

Gallery Reopens

The Phillips Memorial Gallery re-
opens today after being closed dur
ing the summer months. No spe-
cial exhibition will mark the event
but the gallery's own collection is
of sufficient interest not to need
augmentation. Renoir's master
piece, Luncheon of the Boating
Party" which is one of the great
canvases in this collection, is still
on loan to the Museum of Modern
Art, New York, where it has been
shown all summer in the anniver-
sary exhibition, but will be re-
turned about November / with other
loans, at which time the Gallery will
probably be rehung.
