The Whyte Gallery has just
opened the first biannual exhibit
ton of a series it plans of one
man shows by promising young
Washington artists. It's decision
resulted from the success of it's
annual summer exhibitions of new
artists works.
Paintings in oil and water
color by Alfred McAdams COM
pose the inaugural display. Some
20 works are a potpourri of clean
cut architectural forms, with
baroque details in ink, and over
tones of surrealism and abstrac-
ton. Long sharp cuts in the pa
per provide portions of some de-
signs. Color schemes are warm
and varied without being garish.
A few are painted on gold or
silver paper. The collection i'm
pressed me as original and inter-
esting. .
Mr.. McAdams. a native of
louisville, KY. has lived in Wash
ington more than a decade. He
obtained his A. B. in architecture
from George Washington Univer-
sity in 1910, having previously

School of Art and received his
M. A. degree in creative painting
at Indiana University two years
ago.
He has taught design classes
at George Washington and the
University of Minnesota and
night classes at the Corcoran. In
the late sos he was employed
on the WPA Writer'S Project. also
the OSS. He is now with the De-
partment of State, designing

niture.

Mr.. Gates group Is semi
abstract, confined to the essence
of the scenes depicted: Mountain
landscapes and people bathing in
forest glades.
Mr.. Galloway's group of recent
paintings depicts nautical figures
and scenes, in a personal modern
idiom. His figures are squared
off, and have prehensile feet and
faces df any like those on Greek
pottery.
Mr.. Brown continues to paint
a variety of subjects in simplified
naturalism, using bright colors in
garish combinations, most sue
cessful in his medley of details

Corner
OnCoins
By Ted Hommer

tibrarion, American Nvmismote Association
Before Congress is a bill that
would permit minting pine tree
quarter in 1852, the 300th ami
versary OF the famous pine tree
shilling.
The American Numismatic As
ISOLATION and Boston Numismatic
Society are among sponsors of the
bill. Commemorative generally
are half dollars. although there
was one quarter and there have
been a silver dollar, gold dollars,
gold $3.50 and gold $50 pieces.
A commemorative is sold to a
sponsoring commission at face
value. and the sponsor sells such
a coin at a premium, usually US
ing the money to build some type
of memorial. Many such coins
have been issued to commence
rate statehood anniversaries, as
was true with the last half dollar
approved by Congress-the 1916
coin commemorating the Tooth
year of Iowa's statehood. Addi-
tional Booker T. Washington
halves were issued after 1916, but
they were provided in the bill per-
hitting the first one of that year.
Boston collectors naturally are
interested in the proposed pine
tree quarter. because the pine
tree shilling was minted in Old
Boston Towne. It was not the
first silver colonial coinage, how
ever. Preceding it was the New
England shilling, with the letters
NE on one side and Roman XII
for IL pence) on the other. There
likewise were a New England six
pence and New England three
pence Of silver. 1t was so easy
to cheat by filing silver off the
edges Of these coins, that Massa-
chusetts authorities changed the
design. Willow tree and Oak
tree designs were used as well as
the pine tree. A two pence coin
of silver also was minted in the
tree" design.

Do All Non Resident Pupils Pay?
For many years the overcrowdng of the Dis
trict public schools was due to the large number
of nonresident pupils. largely from nearby Mary
land and Virginia. This overcrowding made
necessary the erection of many school buildings,
the cost and operation of which was burden on
the District.
Finally the law was amended, requiring the
payment of tuition by all nonresident pupils. The
result has been the erection of schools and raising
OF educational standards in the adjacent metro
politan area.
