Predicting that in the not far dis- tant futures Washington would have its proposed National Gallery of Art on the Mall and a new home’of the Arts Club, providing facilities' for local and merioan exnibitions of art, with a Jittle theater as well, Will Hutchins, professor of art at:American Uni- weraity, vesterday afternoon told the erican Assocation of University %m at their clubhouse that this city was definitely on its way to be- coming the center of the art con- sclousness of the Nation. The new national portrait gallery in the Smithsonian, he said, made up 2 nucleus of “real importance” for a national gallery, although it would take a long time to build the collec- tion to rank with the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in New York, or the Boston Museum. Speaks for Nation’s Capital «We should advance the idea” he #aid, “that the proper place to deposit art, collections is in the Natonal Cap- tal, and as that becomes impregnated in the national mind, Washington will take great steps forward. One slgnal achieverneAt which tend- ed to turn the art tide toward Wash- ington, Prof. Hutchins said, was the bringing of the Freer Gallery to this clty instead of taking it to Detroit. Mr, Freer, said the speaker, npt only had had the money, but he knew how to buy art judiciously. The Freer Gal- Jery, he said, housed what was con- sidered one of the finest examples of & “well made collection.” The forthcoming opening of the new wing of the Corcoran Gallery with the Clark collection was being Jooked forward to as an event in the art life of the city, Prof. Hutchins said. The addition of this collection would be a valuable contrihution to the'stand- ing of Washinc.on as an art center he: said, although not so sortant” as the addition of the F: llection. The Duncan Ph‘lflp.\}'; speaker praised as having “value expressing a certzin modern tendency, | fncluding the most radical develop- ment of modern art, following vital channels of the creative impulse.” work.

Educator Holds Teaching Problems Based on Kunowing Each Student. The individual student is the prob- lem of educational institutions, Dr. E. B. Hopkins, president of Wabash College, stated in an address at the midweek services of the Church of the Covenant last night. He discussed the problems of educators. - The better a teacher knows the in- dividual students the better the teach- er, he asserted. All educational teach- ing methods are pointed in that diree- tion now, toward knowing the student better, he added. “If all students were alike the prob- lems of educational institutions would leaptinued, “but at pres- ent the college has new problems to solve upon ghe arrival of each new student.” Dr. Hoplins attended a luncheon of the WaBhington Wabash Alumni Association erday at the Cosmos Clul b as GOULD GASE SOON READY FOR SENATE Committee Concludes Hear- ing on Bribery Charges Against Maine Senator. The Senate privileges and elections committee probably will make a re- port to the Senate next week on the case involving bribery charges against Senator Gould, Republican of Maine.

He compared Gould to a man with a highwayman's pistol at his head and ave Gould and his assoclates in. tin Paskus of Gould’s counsel contended the Senate, had. no power to judge ‘the fitness of a person elected to ‘that body, or to refuse a seat to a Senator because of any act com- mitted prior to his election. By per- mitting Gould to take the oath, he argued, the Senate already had passed on his qualifications, and it can only expel a Senator for committing an offense against the Senate. Senator Walsh Gives Views. A different 'line of argument was taken by Senator Walsh, Democrat, Montana, who is prosecuting the case for the committee. He held that the payment of $100,000 would have con- stituted a bribe of Premier Flemming even if it had been made at the pre- mier’s request to a charitable organi- zation. He said he never had contend- ed that Gould actually handed the money over to Flemming, but that the evidence showed that he had agreed to pay it. Mr. Walsh took the position that the Senate was the sole judge of its membership and had authority to expel a member for just cause. CONSIDERS MOVIE CASE.
