4 Next time you go to the
new wing of the Phillips
Collection, Twenty-first and
@ streets NV, don't look at
nthe pictures. Look at the gal
'4efieS instead.
TciThiS won't be easy.
-zsIt's we'll worth the effort,
though. What you will see
will be a small masterpiece
oof modern museum design
and a rare example of quiet
brilliance in the installation
OF art for public view.
s=,Museum design is a fairly
recent branch of architec-
ture. 1t can't compare in
antiquity with, say, churches,
spalaces, pyramids and union
halls, all of which were being
designed from several CEN
turies to several millenia
before it occurred to anyone
to design an art museum.
1.-The reason no one ever
bothered to design an art
museum much before the
sl8th century is simple: There
weren't any art museums to
design. All the great art of
the Renaissance, for example,
was executed either for pri-
,yate collections or, especially,
Tor public places like
churches and town halls.
There was no problem Of
making art available to the
people. 1t already was avail
able whenever they went to
the, town meeting or the
prayer meeting.

given great impetus by the
wave of political revolution
that swept Europe and
America in the 18th and
early 10th centuries, was the
movement to establish sepa'
rate art museums. Early
American examples are still
in business in Charleston,
S. c., and Baltimore, Md.
The movement in America
reached its first peak around
1870, when the Boston Mu-
scum of Fine Arts, the Met

II Lloyd c. Goodrich, fore
most authority on Ryder,
who collaborated with the
sCorcoran staff on this ex-
,.hibition and wrote the COM
prehensive introduction to
the illustrated catalo que
"t$2.50) says that Ryder is
fc'closer to the spirit of our
age than any of his American
contemporaries" because of
his freedom from literal ma
yturalism, his relation to the
Unconscious mind, and his
expression of ideas and emo
lbions in purely plastic Ian
guage."
:fs During his career of some
IS years. Ryder painted only
165 works, 145 of which are
presently accounted for. The
ECorcoran exhibition has So
of these, lent by 35 museums
oand private collectors, in
scluding our National Gallery,
National Collection of Fine
Arts, Corcoran and Phillips
Galleries, and David Findlay.
The collection represents his
entire life's work, from the
early landscapes with figures,
horses and cows, works in
Spired by the Bible, Shake
-Speare, great English poetry
oand romantic poets of the
el9th century, including him
self, discussed last Sunday in
The Star Magazine.
The show includes many of
his paintings of the sea,
which was in his blood. as
he was born in New Bedford,
Mass, the whaling capital of
the world, of a Sea-going
family. Ryder was something
of a character. a bookworm,
unworldly and impractical.

his guidance counselor tells
him. I'm respondent. The boy
is discouraged. Isn't there a
place in our society for the
average person? Must every
one be smart?
ANSWER: I don't blame you
for feeling discouraged. The
emphasis is upon higher grades,
upon more and more home
work. We have adopted a get
tough policy, as though that
will help us build better sput-
niks. Please don't become un-
duly alarmed. There is place
for the average child. Not
everyone can be in the upper
10 per cent of his class, you
know. Reminds me of teach
er who told her eager beavers:
This is a bright class. I want
all of you to study hard so
that all of you will be above
average in this class" What
becomes of the lower so per
cent?
Your boy has two more years
to go in high school. If he
continues at the TOTS mark
he will still be able to lead a
useful life. And why not think
of college? Not every college
is closed to average students.
He may be interested in a good
terminal program in two-year
junior college. Or he may de-
eide to go into a vocational or
technical school. That isn't
important right now. What is
important? That you bolster
your child's ego, that he doesn't
resign and dub himself a fail
ure before he has had a chance
to grow into manhood.
QUESTION: Please help us.
Our son is bright, has three
years of college work behind
him, with good marks. But he
quit, and is working in a ga
rage as a maintenance man. He
always liked engines. What
shall we do?
ANSWER: Nothing! If he's
happy tinkering with a motor,
why not? Not everyone has to
get a college degree.

grew until they must have
had the frantic harmony of a
bombed city. But Ryder was
a lovable personality, and al
ways had some devoted rela-
tive or friend to keep him
from starving. When one
looks at the gentle, romantic
paintings in the Corcoran
show, one can understand
why.
But these are only ghosts
of Ryder's paintings, which
according to contemporary
descriptions had a jewel-like
richness. Unfortunately, his
ignorance of techniqueS,
methods, mediums and
chemical reactions, brought
about the ruin of his work.
Experts have endeavored to
arrest the deterioration, and
restore as far as possible.
The quality of the paintings
shines through.

Mr.. Keene said it will be de-

instituted to procure this right
of way.
In the meantime, due to the
inability to procure this needed
right of way, no action is being
taken on these roads with the
possibility they will not be i'm

other one is in the northern
part of the county, consisting
of three roads totaling 8.9 miles.
