American Federation Of Arts, 1t
was held under distinguished Brit
ish patronage Included in its cata-
logue were 432 prints chosen by an
expert jury composed of etchers Of
note. 1t was very we'll received and
we'll shown. To British collectors
American graphic arts are better
known than American paintings.
At the time of this exhibition 1t
was learned that for years an Amer
lean etcher, the late George Ebert
Burr of Arizona. had had stand
ing order from the British Museum
for an impression from every plate
he etched, which was indeed a very
great compliment-but one fully
merited.
Schofeld Memorial
A memorial exhibition Of paint
ings by the late w. Elmer Schofield
was held In the Grand Central Gal
leries, New York, during the past
fortnight. Mr.. Schofleld, a Phila-
delphian by birth, died in England
last year. He was one of the
strongest of the American landscape
painters of today and his works had
invariably force and charm. He
was what has been called plein air
painter, delighting in the transcript
ton of sunshine of glimmering
brightness as of clear, fresh day
The Corcoran Gallery is fortunate
in the possession of one OF his best
works-a large canvas entitled Cliff
Shadows" presumably painted in
Cornwall, where he had summer
home. Mr.. Schofield served all
through World War I, attaining to
the rank of major.
CARRIER Exhibition
Daniel CARRIER, well-known Amer
ican painter, is honored at this time
by a retrospective exhibition OF
paintings, drawings and etchings,
representing his aggregate output,
set forth in the Pennsylvania Acad-
emy of Fine Arts, Philadelphia. Mr..
CARRIER is represented in the Cor
coran Gallery by two paintings,
April Landscape" and South
Room. Green Street." both of which
won Clark awards when shown sue
cessively in biennial exhibitions. He
is also represented in the Smith
sonian collection by a very hand

woodland surrounding their schools
and up the OLD Chesapeake &
Ohio Canal, the boys and girls have
collected many treasures, and these
were exhibited recently in the Ana
costa Public Library. In one win
dow were displayed several posters,
on which were painted brightly COL
ored birds, done by the students
from their own observations. Under
each poster was the nest of the bird
represented. In another window
with the embroidered blue satin
banner of the club hanging over
head, were several attractive bird
houses and feeding stations of all
sizes and styles, all made by the
students.
The clubs sponsor, Miss Frances
Noll, and its adviser, Sergt. Donald
Ewes, U. S. A. are responsible in
large part for the children's inter-
est. Miss Noll, who is the sixth
grade teacher at Congress Heights
School, started the club six years
ago as a result of an Audubon So
ciety appeal to educate the children
in the need for conservation of wild
life. Through the clubs activities,
the boys and girls have learned to
appreciate the outdoors, TOO" she
said
Sergt. Ewes. who before the war
was a scoutmaster for six years and
biology and general science in
structor in New Jersey high
school, finds great pleasure in
working with this Junior Audubon
Club He has taken its members
on several hikes from which they
have brought back many kinds of
bird nests.
In class period, the boys and girls
dismantled duplicate nests and
mounted them on posters. They
found that birds choose some pretty
odd building materials. A redstart's
nest showed the bird had used syca-
more seeds for insulation and
spider webs for cement In a
wood thrushs nest. they found 10

In my opinion the very best chill
dren's magazine on the market was
St. Nicholas. Sometimes, 1 think,
it displayed more variety than many
present-day periodicals. In the
range of literature you could find
the usual stories, serials, historical
sketches and anything else from
''Efie's Visit to the Moon" to "Ele-
phant Hunting in Siam" In addi-
ton there were the usual letter box,
puzzles and riddles, poetry good,
too, reproductions from MASTER
pieces of art and all sorts of other
special features.
Among the stories which appeared
in serial form were Jack and JILL"
by Louisa May Alcott, and Little
Lord Fauntleroy," by Frances Hodg-
son Burnett. incidentally, the il
illustrator of this story created a
minor panic. Fond mamas insisted
on dressing their little darlings in
velvet, ruffies and lace. Need I say
there were some objections on the
part OF the younger generation?
Here are three particularly choice
excerpts from an old math book,

BY Florence S. Bergman
A selection of cartoons by Clifford
K. Bergman is on view at the Cor
coran Gallery of Art through April
20. A part of the gallery's perma-
nent collection, this group of more
than 40 was given by the artist in
1943 at the close of his golden an
niversary exhibition there. More
than half of the present show, how
ever, comprises cartoons not shown
in the 1943 exhibition, which dealt
mainly with the New Deal decade
The present show might be called

In the Art World
London's Tate Gallery Extends Invitation
For Exhibition of American Paintings

/ works produced were OF a nlgH oroeI
of merit-delightful today and when
/ first shown. With InneSs are asso-
ciated in memory the names OF
Wyant, Tryon, Martin, Murphy and
many others equally gifted, men who
! forgot themselves in their subjects
and painted in order to perpetuate
visions of beauty. These men were
realists - they painted what they
saw-but they saw beautifully.
Genre Painters
Another truly American phase OF
10Th century art in this coun-
try was presented by the genre
painters such as Bingham, Mount,
]. G.. Brown and Eastman johnson.
who produced works illustrative OF
American life in the day they lived
"a life to which many would not
be sorry to return-friendly, not too
swift, eaceful-ofttimes merry. OF
this contribution excellent showing
was made in an exhibition entitled
Life in America" held at the
Metropolitan Museum, New York, in
1899, when the Worlds Fair was in
progress.
There will be another gap to fill
that of the last years of the past
certury-when John w. Alexander
was president sof the National
Academy, La Fargo painting his
epoch-making mural, The Ascen-
sion," in the Church Of the Ascen-
sion, New York; Cecilia Beaux her
distinguished portraits, Winslow
Homer his magnificent marines and
Thomas Eakins his great canvases.
Most difficult will be the choice Of
the works of painters Of today. 1t is
hard, we are told, when in the woods
to see the trees. There is always
danger of short perspective. Also to
comprehend all in $50 exhibits will
mean close pruning.
Excellent Examples Here
We in Washington have especial
opportunity to familiarize ourselves
with American art, there being ex-
cellent examples in the Corcoran
Gallerys permanent collection, in
the Freer Museum, the National
Collection given by the late William
T. Evans and that acquired through
gift of John Gellatly, as well as
important examples in the National
Gallery across the Mall. These are
almost all works of which We as
Americans can be proud. The COM
mittee of selection will have an even
wider field of choice When the COL
lection is sent overseas it will be
accompanied either by the chief
curator, John Walker, or a men,
ber of his staff. 1t will have the best
care and be upheld to the highest
standard-a collection in which all
Americans can take pride. This is
quite certain.
To the question-"Have We an
| American Art?"-the answer must
be affirma tive. Although we have
borrowed much from the art of
other countries we have remained
subtly American-unmistakably so
in spirit and in thought-a free
people-distinctive.
