JOSEPH JACQUES TISSOT was so years old and al
D ready well known in artistic circles when he sud-
denly turned to religion and the project that brought
him lasting fame.
AS portrait painter accustomed to a realistic ap
proach to art, Tssot became disturbed over the alb
sence of historically accurate and realistic Biblical
illustrations. In 1885, sketchpad in hand he went to
the Holy Land where he spent year travelling through
the districts visited by Christ recording with pen and
brush the landscapes, patiently studying every
remaining trace of ancient and early Christian civli
cation. In addition he consulted the Talmud the Apo
cryphal Gospels and other early religious documents
Returning then to Europe, he labored 10 years to
complete the 700 famous paintings and drawings which
illustrate Old Testament stories and the life of Christ
Born in Nantes, France, in 1886, Tissot received
his artistic education at the Ecole des Beaux Arts in
Paris under masters such IngreS and Fandrin After
service in the Franco German War he fled to England
to avoid persecution for his political beliefs. 1t

in Arlington will get q preview
next week Of their cleaning new

The So million Junior high
school. scheduled to open on
November 20, will have only
about 825 students on, opening

school IS 1900. and it could
handle 1900 without much diff
fculty. dis
Students, now in elementary
schools will fill Williamsburg In
q few years. If there is a pros
pect Of vacant rooms next fall,
however, some space may be de-
voted to the need for new
elementary classrooms to relieve
overcrowding at other schools.
NOW Ou QalI .DdySs
Williamshurg's students are
now attending halliday sessions
at Stratford Junior High. The
Williamsburg students now In
school from 1915 pm. to S pm.
will find their schedules ex-
panded to a full day, $40 am.
to 800 pm.
The address Of the new junior
high is 5000 North Harrison
street. It lies north of Little
Falls road and west Of Old Do
minion drive on a 27-acre tract
that is still bounded by trees,
although housing developments
are moving in on every side.
Rhees Burket, architect, de-
signed the building and Skinker
g. Garrett Of Washington are
building 1t. Most of the school
is two-story, and outside sur
faces are brick, glass and glass

Williamsburg will be a COM
plete junior high, with fully

acoustically treated to reduce
noise. The large gymnasium has
an electric folding door that di-
vides it into sections for sepa-
rate events.

STAFF Of A Teachers.
. William w. Rich, principal
will have two assistants, Joseph

Transou, and Al teachers on his

rooms, plus 20 other teaching

Williamsburg is more conven-

/ which had to be fitted to a
smaller site. Stratford. to many
people is an example of fine
or luxurious school construction
that, is unlikely to be equalled.
AS. Mr.. Rich surveys his shin

Stratford.
II wouldn't say Stratford is
obsolete" he says. and he waves
his arms to show the colorful
