NOTHING
SPECIAL
By NINA

l am becoming very distressed
about the way some children are
being brought UP nowadays.
Brought up" indeed. Precious
little "bringing-upe they're get
ting, if you ask me.
To my horror, / hear young
sters under ten addressing their
parents by their first names, an
nouncine in determined tones
their intention of not carrying
out certain instructions given
them, butting into adult CONVEX
sations, and / have even witness
ed instances of these youngsters
striking out at parents and actu-
ally hitting them.
The wonder is not that the lit
tie Whelps do these things, be-
cause children will try anything
once, just to see if ii can be done.
The wonder is that they are al
lowed to get away with it.
To cap everything, there are
now schools extant where chill
dren are not only permitted to do
anything that comes into their
fertile little minds, but are actu-
ally encouraged in the practice
of doing just exactly what they
want to do at the moment, even
to the length of tormenting the
instructors (sic).
All this freedom is supposed to
develop individuality and result
in the shaping of sterling charac-
tiers. Pardon me if at this point l
give a loud snort of utter disbe-
lief. "
You often hear parents saying
nowadays that children are much.
more intelligent than the former
generation of children. That is
entirely untrue. All my eontem-
pofaries, and too, were just as
smart as the youngsters are now.
The difference was that we were
not allowed to make exhibitions
of ourselves and parade our
smartnesS, the way children are
encouraged to do now.
At this moment | am trying to
picture the expression on my
fathers face if / had eveS adj
dressed him as Franklyn and said
l was not going to obey some in
struction of his. / can't do it. 1t
is too far beyond imagination.

Haitian Art Exhibit Opens Here
Tomorrow Afternoon At Casa Marina
Under Direction OF SeIden ROdnan

Tomorrow afternoon, begin
ming at $3.50 o'clock, there will be
"a 2-day exhibit of the works of
Haitian popular painters at the
Casa Marina Hotel, under the di-
rection of Selden Rodman.
+. Mr.. Rodman, well known as
poet author and critic, has Wis
tied every part of the colorfut
island of Haiti. In l943 his verse:
drama, The Revolutionists, was
produced in Port au Prince by
the Haitian government, and this
year he became co-director of the:
Centre de'Art, handspring of the
renaissance.
Following the exhibit here, Mr..
Rodman will return Immediately
to Haiti to supervise the instruc-
ton of the painters in mural
technique as a preparation for
their work in the forthcoming in
ternational exposition to be held
in Port au Prince next December.
Mr.. Rodman states that last
week he spoke to President Es-
time of Haiti about their partici-
patton and received the latter's
assurance of enthusiastic govern
mental support.
There is every indication that
the movement of popular paint
ing in Haiti will soon rival the
renaissance of MeXico's national
art in the 20s, Mr.. Rodmai. says,
adding that no other Latin Amer
lean country today is producing
work of a like originality and ex-
element.
q. Selden Rodman is the author OF
several books and monographs,
his recent monograph on Horace
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1949-01-04

Pippin being widely praised as
an outstanding contribution to
the study of primitive art.
His latest book, Renaissance in
Haiti, deals with popular painters
in the black republic, and con-
tains not only many reproduc-
tions of their paintings, but also
a;large number of photographs of
Haiti, mostly taken by the author.
1t is published by Pellegrini &
Cudahy, New York.
Further in connection with the
exhibit beginning tomorrow, it
may be stated that primitive Hal
tian painters during the past
three months have enjoyed a
phenomenal success in the Uni
ted States. Two of their paintings
were bought from a show organ
lied by Mr., Rodman in New York
recently by the Museum of Mod
ern Art, and one by the Phillips
Memorial Gallery in Washington.
In an interview with him to-
day, Mr.. Rodman stated that he
is doubly pleased to be in Key
West at this time, for during his
visit here he had an opportunity
to see again Elizabeth Bishop,
who lives here, and whom he
considers one of the finest poets
writing in America today. Her
poem, The Fish," was the last
poem in the Penguin Book Zone
Hundred American Poems"
which he edited.
Much interest is eyinced in the
art exhibit to begin tomorrow,
and it is expected that it will be
exceptionally well-attended.
