Dear DR.. Mason:

Dear DR.. Mason:
Our Six-year-old son is to
start to school this fall for the
second time. We started him
last year but the teacher re-
quested that he be taken out,
saying he never listened and
was Away up and about, caus-
ing a disturbance in the class.
He has a bad habit Of never
listening to anything said d.
rectly to him yet hears every
thing said around him.
What can we do to make
school successful this time.
Mr.. r. s. Vancouver, Wash.
Explain to your son that he
must learn to listen both at
home and at school. Attempt
to get his cooperation. For
best results he must WANT to
behave properly. Then, each
time he "fails to hear" immedi-
ately bring him up sharply
q quick spank in the proper
spot, IL necessary. Don't wait
until you have spoken to him
the second time.) When he re-
acts correctly, compliment him.
Parental approval is q power

we thought we had solved the

been on the scene in this
country for almost q decade.
Moreover, the new show itself
calls attention to the youth
fulness of the youth. Ar
ranged chronologically, the
prints begin with four or
five items done when ahe
artist was IL and is.
These essays Of childhood
are no great shakes for
originality but the boy Cue
vas had technical command
Of etching, drypoint, aqua
tint, and even nezzotint; at
that early age he grasped
composition and, 1t must be
noted, he knew where to look
for models.
The later work Is almost
all in lithography, Q medium
for which the artist shows
q strong affinity. In Q way
the work Is still young and
romantic, taking the stand
ard adolescent line about
the sad, crazy. corrupt and
depraved world we live in.
But the print process almost
always cornpels its practi-
TONERS beyond teen-age
weltschmerz and 1t does so
here. The distorted dwarfS,
gnomes, monsters and de-
mons gain an ironic detach-
ment and live as art rather
than merely as expression.
High Art
The show includes homage
to both Kafka and Dostoyev-
ski, which Is reasonable
enough because both writer's
did essentially the same
thing as the artist; they
made high art out Of the
natural melancholy that pre-.
cedeS maturity.
The really Knockout image
In the show is Butcher" o
great grinning face with It's
light-dark values reversed
from one side to the other
and with the eyes like evil
suns. In Butcher" there d
a faint echo Of Charles Ad-
dams; elsewhere In the show
are memories Of 0oya and
Bosch. but Mr.. Cuevas re-
lates to those artists through
common attitudes rather
than through lifted manners.
It's q chilling show but
well worth the chill.

Mr.. Jackson was In the show

segregation definitely raised
the level Of things If only
by his presence. He IL q
member not only Of the
Negro minority but also Of
the much smaller minority
Of artists who know what
they're doing and how to 60

81 Like Abe"
His paintings included the
only direct reference to the
Civil Rights issue, q somher
and melancholy head Of
Lincoln with beard and stove
pipe hat and across the bot
tom in block letters the
legend, II Like Abe" Neither
poster nor propaganda, the
painting combines elements
Of both into an enforced
meditation on q great Ameri-
can and his enduring signifi-
canoe. In half q dozen paint
ings and a large number Of
prints, Mr.. Jackson shows
sustained achievement. He is
well overdue for a Washing
ton show Of his work.
Yet, although he started it,
the desegregation Of the Vir-
ginia Beach Art Show Is not
chiefly important because Of
its exhibiting Mr.. Jackson's
work. In art, as in baseball
and music, talent will always
find its way, regardless Of
race, and Mr.. Jackson Is
finding his. What was at
issue, really, In the Board
walk segregation case was
what can only be called the
rights Of mediocrity.
Another Right
There Is o plausible case to
be made for the ruthless sup
preston Of the mediocre In
art, but 50 long as we tolerate
mediority, surely we must do
so regardless Of race. A. B.
jackson made a few hundred
dollars selling pictures on the
Boardwalk this year and
could not make them last
year. but 1t was not chiefly
A. B. jackson who was de-
prived by his exclusion. The
real crime was against the
Negro buffers and daubers.
AS with their white counter
parts. they are silly. in
competent and a damned
nuisance in the art scene. but
in the world Of outdoor art
shows they have every right
TO commit their nuisances.
At Virginia Beach, this
right Is now assured.

presence in the giant annual
art show would wreck the
shew, hurt resort business
ins this resort town and,
most important of all, be
embarrassing to the Negro
artists themselves, sine {
there'd be no place for them
to eat, drink or freshen-up.
Il No Dire Results
Well, the show this year wal
mildly desegreated - about
halt O dozen Negroes out OF
800 artists-and none OF
those dire results ensued. At
tendance seemed to be at ar
all, time high and one Of the
very first sales was made by
Negro painter Hazel Sea-
bronze to q white lady from
Richmond. The small work
was q black and white wash
drawing of a dark football
player, pigskin in arm, just
making 1t across the goal
line.
As for the hotels and
restaurants that line the
long boardwalk, they led the
way into full American citi-
zenship Of all American
citizens. A few weeks before
the show opened there was q
quiet meeting Of Virginia
Beach political and COM
rnefcial leaders. Following
the meeting and presumably
on strict grounds Of enlight-
ened self interest, Virginia
Beach declared itself desegre-
gated.
Granted the circumstances
Of this summer in the South,
it was an act Of considerable
courage and 1t has received
very little attention in the
nabional press, which Is prob
ably OK. with the people
who made 1t. At any rate.
when the Negro artists and
art viewers showed up at the
show there was no trouble
about where to eat and drink.
The answer was anywhere
at all.
Friendly COmbers
There was also no trouble
about swimming, additionally
one of the points of alarm
in the Civil Rights question.
The Atlantic impartially re-
ceived black, white, sun-tan
and sun-burn with no ques-
tions asked and the same
therapeutic effects given
freely to all corners from all
combers.
Getting In the swim Of the
mainstreana Of American out
door art shows, the ladies
in charge here switched from
the race controversy to the
more conventional contro-
versy Of the nude. They
threw out q life-size, full

older tradition--one that i'm.
posed itself most notably on

suaded the artist to add a
pair Of trunks to the figure.
They then decided the trunks
were too skinny or too skim
tight and out went the nude
and It's creator.
That note brings us back
to the hard reality OF the
Virginia Beach Show. namely
that II wasn't very good. In
fact 1t was awful. With over
800 artists, there were at
least 5000 individual works OF
art on view and Of these
about $500 were beneath
