Stormy Session Brings
Review of Honor Setup
BY JOHN LAWSON

The Arlington School Board heard its honor society
attacked and defended for hour last night bated
behind closed doors for another hours and
at IN. to announce it would be reviewed.
The board made the at the end of six
session during which the Society Wahingto-

AAOhA oSooAOAA NdA AAAS WAAASAA OAAC
Lee High School was assailed
by parents whose children were
not selected for membership
and defended by parents whose
children were.
One board member termed
the hearing an improper pro-
cedure" and twice walked out
of the meeting because speak
ers said they would mention
the names of students or fac
ulty involved in the dispute.
During an hour-long wrangle
over whether the press and
public should be barred, Board
Member Barnard Joy heatedly
argued that the discussion
should be heard in executive
session because it involved staff
members and individual stu
dents.
Leaves Meeting
When the board overruled
him, he announced he would
leave if any names were men,
toned and asked each speaker
| if he intended to identify a
student or staff member. Two
said they would mention their
children, and Mr.. Joy left, re-
turning only after the speaker
had finished.
The dispute began when the
board, after completing its
regular agenda, announced it
would consider the protests of
parents who had objected that
selection methods for society
membership were "top secret"
and that teachers had black
balled" some students who
should have been admitted.
Mr.. Joy said the discussion
should be closed because it in
wolves schools personnel, a sub
ject he said which was always
discussed in conference.
Board member James G.
Stockard replied that the par
ents were protesting ION princi-
Pile" and moved that the meet
ing be open. Mr.. Stockard's son
was among students eligible for
the society, but not selected.
"The trouble here" he said,
'is that this is a secret opera
ton. The more this board acts
in secret, the more people are
suspicious"
Considered Public
Mrs. Stockard was among a
group of parents who appeared
June 7 before Supt. Ray Reid
to protest the selection.
Mr.. Stockard's motion was
seconded by Chairman L. Lee
Bean, who said the matter was
no longer private one, since
someone has unfortunately al
ready seen fit to release it to
the newspapers"
After a discussion during
which the board invited the
views of parents present, Mr..
Joy moved that no persons be
identified "by name or infer
ence." The motion was not Sec
onded, and Mr.. Stockard's
motion passed 3 to l, with Mr.
Joy dissenting.

he represented about 20 fami-

Siegfried ziegler Of New
York City has an exhibition
Of "a oils, drawings. etchingS
and reproductions In his first
Washington one-man show,
at Washington Hebrew Con-
gregation, 1885 Macomb
street NV. It may extend
into November.
Born In Munich, Germany,
in 1894, Mr.. Ziegler began to
study art in his mid-teenS,
with 9 years Of intensive
training at the Academy,
interrupted by two years in
the German Army in World
War I. He soon won national
fame, and exhibited in the
important galleries of Ger
many and France. He con-
tinued to paint naturaliStical-
ly, unmoved by the esthetic
revolutions Of Europe in the
twentieS, and lived and taught
in Munich, into the Nazi era.
He continued to win awards
under that regime until 1886,
when he was forced to close
his school, but continued to
teach art in the Munich Jew
ish School. In 1898, he was
imprisoned for a time In the
Dachau concentration camp,
whence he emigrated to the
United States.
Mr.. ziegler's exhibition
covers a period Of about three
decades. Particularly noted
for his portraiture, he Is rep
resented with several admir-
able portrait drawings, in
GLIDING one Of the late Rabbi
Stephen 8. Wise, which have
been reproduced in facsimile.
His strong, individual heads
Of elderly men are outstand-

beauty Of the countryside in

~ RICHARD HIRsCH

Director, Allentown Art Museum
Fora rumored million dol
lars, more or less. the Metro
politan Museum recently
bought a painting.
James j. Rorimer has
called the purchase one Of
the most important ever
made by our most important
museum.
The artist: Georges de La
Tour.
If the name doesn't ring a
bell. don't hang your head
In shame.
Thirty years ago, only a
handful of specialized art
historians were aware Of
Georges de La Tour. Ten
years ago he was not even
mentioned in the textbooks
designed to give our college
undergraduates q casual &C
quaintance with the Great
Masters Of western Painting.
Until a few weeks ago, our
general public had never
heard Of him.
Historic Injustice
What had happened?
History. in its special way,
had committed a great in
justice. Georges de La Tour
had been famous in his own
time. Born in uAneville, In
Lorraine, In 1893. he was
court painter to Louis XIII
Of France until his death in
1852. He helped found the
French Royal Academy Of
Painting. He was loved and
appreciated by the Dukes of
Lorraine. His works were
praised, copied. initiated and

deeply significant. to themes
that are eternal.
The Mary Of the first
Christmas will be q simple
French peasant girl, the In
FAINT will be swaddled as a
peasant babe. The light will
be a smoky peasant wick, the
shepherds viii be people IA
miliar with bleating f1ocks,
not artistic" Greek athletes
dressed up with shepherds
crooks.
Magdalen, with a skull
upon the table, will be medi-
tating In the very silence Of
the soul, the night made
darker by a single candles
flame. She will not be an
actress, splitting a limpid tear
from upturned eyes upon
flowing robes Of satin, her
arms prettily outstretched to
gather a 18th century audi
ence's applause.
It is precisely because of
this grand human simplicity,
this gift Of interior silence,
mastered in his later years,
that Georges de La Tour was
lost from the rolls Of the
great masters, although he
was honored in his own time.
His king removed every other
painting from his royal bed
chamber after receiving from
La Tour one Of these works
which inspires, emands,
compels. contemplation in a
communion Of silence.
RediscOvered
La Tour suited the SenSi-
tive piety of Louis XIII. But
such piety did not stay fash
ionable for long. Rubens COW
cred acres Of canvas in La
Tours lifetime with grand
lose contrivances Of THEATRES,
sacred and profane, starting
a trend which lasted to the
beginning of our century.
Poussin, another contempt
rary Of La Tour, would paint
noble" subjects in a style
that made all Of humanity as
Greek as any statue from
antiquity. And his influence
would, also, remain alive.
Between these two, the 81.
lent grandeur Of La Tours
simplicity, his vision of the
eternal spirit within the
form of Everyman, would be
lost in the theatrical noise of
the Baroque artists, the dis
dain Of the cold classisists.
At long last. when only
perhaps 20 Of his works sur
vive, we have rediscovered
Georges de La Tour, master
craftsman of light, master
draughtsman and, more i'm
portantly, a seer, a revealer,
a timeless, ageless spirit. La
Tour, an inspired interpreter
OF man, humble before mys-

Alexander Kobzdej, dean

the Academy Of Beaux Arts,

with one Of the first exhibit
tons here Of avant-garde

Eight canvases I'LL the gall
lery, as most Of them are
large, some more than 6 by
4 feet. They are work Of
last year and this, and were
shown In New York City last
spring. Critical comments
from metropolitan papers,
along with biographical data.
are hanging with the show.
Dore Ashton Of the New York
Times said the forms of these
paintings resemble animal
hide stretched across canvas"
an accurate description.
The forms are built up with
pieces Of burlap. strips Of
knitted fabric, crumpled
paper. heavy cord and other
materials, painted over, in
dark brown and gray, rusty
old rose, blues and corroded
green's. The surfaces are
varied because Of ridges pro-
duced by collage. In some in
stances, the forms suggest
relief maps with jagged shore
lines and innumerable noun
tain ranges. Despite o fam
lily resemblance between
these paintings, all differ.
Stretched" for example, is
composed Of a center Of thin
paper literally stretched I'M
til torn in several places,
revealing the bare canvas.
Mother Earth" comprising
small ragged bits Of paper. is
pierced by diagonal spears Of
color.
Part at least Of Mr..
Kobzdej's Importance is the
fact that he exemplifies the
new freedom achieved by
Polish artists in the past four
years.
