Western High School.
The sky was gray, the sun was gone,
The air was crisp and dry:
White masses Of light, twirling snow
Went whistling, dancing by.
1t covered all the gray-brown grass
As it so softly fell.
1t crept along the old stone path
And blanketed the well.
The trees in their white, shining
gowns
Gave of q brilliant glow.
And joined me in my great delight
= To watch the falling snow.

British Art
Under Siege

Under Siege
The development of art and art
interest has apparently received at
tention in Britain during the years
lof bombardment. Art has been taken
to the people as never before and
has done much toward mitigating
disaster by the broadening of vision
The relation of the arts has been
recognized, and in past war plan
ming they already loom large
Through financial aid granted by
the Pilgrim Fund established by
the late Edward S. Harkness of
New York; and the hearty Coop
Grafton of the official Council on the
Encouragement of Music and Art,
the people of England, Scotland and
Wales have, during the lean and
dreadful years of war, been brought
into closer association with the arts
than ever before.
The first step was. taken by the
director of the National Gallery,
London, Sir Kenneth Clark, who
provided for the physical welfare of
London war workers by setting up
cafeteria and arranging for noon
time music to gival spiritual as we'll
as physical refreshment. Incident
ally there were also timely exhibi-
tions. The success of this venture
encouraged the sending out of ex-
hibitions, of musicians, of actors, to
towns and cities throughout the
country-places in many of which
nothing of the sort had ever been
known. In every instance the works
sent and the talent made available
were the best. Now these places are
planning for a continuation and
even extension of this service in
postwar days
A large factor in these plans is
the erection of town halls, where in
town meetings can be held an enter
talnmentS of cultural nature.
The designs follow as far as possible
the style of architecture suitable to
the location.
Also an effort is being made to
draw art and industry into closer
association, by directing designers
to this field and securing promise
from manufacturers of employment
and satisfactory compensation. To
this end the study of design and its
applicability to use is being pro-
NOTED in the schools.
Plans for the rebuilding of Lon
don have been drawn and much dis
cussed. A new and a better London,

will rise from the ruins of that
which all English speaking loved.
Its planning was begun while bombs
were falling around the planners
and to an extent by those rich in
experience but so advanced in years
that they could scarcely hope to see
the consummation. yet so youthful
in spirit that such thought seems
never to have occurred. Every ef-
fort of the planners will be exerted
to retain the character of the old
London-minus the wren steeples-
more livable. modern, but not
merely of today-certainly not as
has been enormously reported
"stream-lined." When the British
build, the eye is always on the fu-
ture. The Royal Society of Archi-
tects, the Royal Academy, the Royal
Society of Arts are all cooperating
to this end.
The Royal Society
The Royal Society of Arts was
bombed out of the fine old house
which the brothers Adam designed
and built for it in John street,
Adelphi, but taking temporarily to
other quarters continued it's BIZ
monthly meetings, apparently un-
perturbed, and issued without in
terruption accounts of proceedings
to all members, including those in
the United States. This society, now
nearly 200 years old, was one of
the first to emphasize the i'm
portance of design to industry and
commerce. The special committee,
OF which Percy Smith is chairman,
is charged with this responsibility
Finally 1t may be added that at
no time during the war has the
British art market slumped. Works
by the old masters have brought
excellent prices in the London auc-
ton rooms and sales of contem-
porary paintings shown in the
Royal Academy have been very
gratifying and in excess of those
in previous years, when the num-
Der has been in the hundreds.
Throughout the war artists have
been employed in recording war
activities as a matter of history and
aid to morale. Now British art ex-
perts are cooperating with those
from the United States in the
restoration and preservation of his
torlcal monuments in those coun-
tries in which war has been most
saVagely waged. A brave record, in
deed.
