Milford chronicle., 1947-04-18

Although the great bulk of the !
100000 entries was cut to the nub
in regional contests held in AZ cit
les throughout the nation, the re-
naming entries, over 10000 of
them, filled nine galleries at the
Carnegie Institute.
So tremendous was the output
of youthful artists that it took two
weeks for an award jury of seven
artists and critics to appraise all
the entries in 21 separate classifi-
cations. Walking through the ex-
hibit was out of the question. The
jury was pushed up and down the
nine long galleries on a mobile
bench.
/ Credit for this tremendous ar
tistic turnout belongs primarily to
art teachers in the high schools
throughout the nation. 1t also be-
longs to the United States Time
Corporation which, in sponsoring
the IngersOll Art Awards, has con-
tributed to the spiritual and artis-
tic development of the nation S
youth. Many institutions now pay
ing large sums for less worthy
projects would do well to invest
surplus dollars in fostering the
artistic leaningS of American teen
ayers.
AS Professor Elise E. Ruffini of
Teachers College, Columbia Uni
versity puts it: Contests such as
this will develop greater interest
in painting, both among youth and
adults, and will help make for a
keener understanding and a more
tolerant point of view towards the
, work of both children and artists
throughout the country"
