THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., DECEMBER 8, RANGER PICTURES TOGOON EXHIBIT Works of 74 American Artists | Will Be Displayed Until January 31. ‘The 78 pictures, so far purchased by the National Academy of Design from the Henry Ward Ranger fund will be exhibited at the National Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution, next| ‘Wednesday. They will remain on ex- | hibit until January 31. . ‘The Smithsonian Institution regards this collection of paintings by outstand- ing American artists as one of prime interest. Henry Ward Ranger, himself an artist of note and an academician of the National Academy of Design, died in 1916, leaving his entire estate to the academy, the income to be used to purchase pictures by living American artists, the majority to be by artists over 45 years of age. Pictures Assigned to Associations. ‘These pictures are assigned by the academy to art associations, museums ~ and libraries that are free to the public, the assi ent being subject to the privilege of the National Gallery of claiming any of the pictures which it deems desirable for the national col- lection within the 5-year period, be- ginning 10 years after the artist's death and ending 15 years after his death. | Regarding the operation of this provi- sion, the catalogue to be issued for use &t the coming exhibition says: “A large number of museums and art associatioM eligible to receive these Ranger-fund pictures, and the number is gradually increasing. Every effort has been made by the National Academy of Design to extend the edu- cational and cultural influence of these Ranger-fund pictures. The works are selected and purchased by the council of the academy, and their choice is carefully made in order that the dif- ferent examples may represent the best of the different tendencies of contem rary Ame: painting. The assem- blage in the National Gallery of repre- sentative examples of the works of American painters and of the periods represented will give to the Ranger be- quests great national importance. In the course of time, as the centuries pass, will have been brought together an assemblage of art works such as no other agency or procedure can hope to 74 Artists Represented. ‘Through co-operation of the numer- ous art gallerys and museums to which the pictures have been assigned and of the National Academy of Design the Ranger-fund paintings will now for the first time be exhibited to the public all together. The costs of the assemblage have been defrayed by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

ROCKVILLE, Md., December 7.—Al- though the County Board of Education does not actually prohibit exchange of Christmas gifts between pupils and pu- pils and teachers in the public schools of the county, that it does not approve of such practice is evidenced by a com- munication just mailed by Edwin W. Broome, county superintendent of schools, to the school principals throughout the county, which calls at- tention to the attitude of the board as follows: “While the board felt it had no right to undertake to control the sentiment of children or teachers, that the em- barrassment arising where presents are | distributed in the schools could be pre- vented if the matter were brought to the attention of the teachers in a friendly suggestion. “The expression of gifts of what is felt at Christmas is sacred. There is no wish to interfere with this. The school bullding, however, is not needed as the place for the exchange of the gifts. This is to intended to refer to class room social and group activities in keeping with Christmas.” . Supt. Broome has notified the teach- ers that the schools of the county will be closed after Friday, December 20, and will reopen on Thursday, January 2, and has also informed them that if they wish their salary checks for Christ- | mas purposes they must have their sal- ary vouchers in the office of the County Board of Education by not later than Friday, December 13. ing, Fourteenth and B streets south- ‘west, Tuesday evening, 8 o'clock.
