On Our culpture Out of Doors

Joan of Arc by the French sculptor,
Paul Dubois "a replica of his statue
created for the city of Rheims where
it stands before the cathedraD !,
which were ornaments and gives
distinction to our Meridian Park.
Perhaps, however, the equestrian
most passed and seen is that of Gen.
Jackson, hero of New Orleans, by
Clark Mills, which stands in the
middle of Lafayette Square, oppo-
site the White House. This was the
first equestrian statue produced by
an American sculptor and despite all
the fun that has been poked at it.,
is something of which we may be
proud 1t was modelled in the early
sos by a man self-taught Con-
gress gave him for the purpose can
non captured at the battle of New
Orleans, and Mills cast it. from
directions that he found in book at
a foundry he himself set up near
Bladensburgh. Congress was SO de-
lighted with it that his compensa-
tion was more than doubled, and
"llllOdt 1C4uCaoU. ooU WlldG 6ANCS ~
merit in our eyes today is its deco
rative quality, spirit and dash of
gallantry, and real sincerity. 1t
belonged to it's time.
But all of our memorial statues
are not of military men. There is
an excellent equestrian statue of
Asbury. the circuit rider. by Angus
tus Lukeman, at Sixteenth and Har-
ward streets. In front of the Colum-
bian Institute for Deaf Mutes is the
charming Gallaudet Memorial by
Daniel Chester French, who also did
the statue of Lincoln in the Lincoln
Memorial. The statue of Hahnemann
near Scott Circle, the work of
Charles Henry Niehaus, has much
to commend it-as has the standing
statue by James Earle Fraser on
the south steps of the Treasury.
Dupont Circle Fountain.
We have, it is true, less ornamen-
tai sculpture in Washington than we
should. for sculpture has a place in
life all its own, as an art and one
of the greatest. Its function is not
only to memorialize but to delight
to immortalize beauty. This double
function the Dupont fountain in
Dupont Circle by French and the
Macmillan fountain designed for
and long standing in Macmillan
Park, the work of Herbert Adams,
both admirably fulfill as creative
works of genius. The latter is un-
fortunately now in storage, the site
on which it stood being required for
an extension of the filtration reser-
voir, but at the conclusion of the
war it will be given suitable place
ment.
1t is essential sometimes to keep
a sharp lookout for works of art in
unexpected places. For example, one
