This collection, part of carbon gravures directly from the original master- pieces, is selected by art experts and should attract many admission fee will be charged, the en- tire proceeds of which, after deduct- ing the expenses of exhibif, will be used in the purchasc of pictures for wall decorations in the school. The purpose of the exhibition is thus clearly two-fold: first: To give peo- ple an opportunity to see a collection of the world’s famous masterpieces of painting, sculpture, and architecture: Second: To make it possible for the public to own a few of these in our schools. This exhibition should in- terest the public because, through- out the country, people are awaken- ing to the importance and value of good art as creative of a refining in- fluence and ingpiring atmosphere— and just as surely as people become familiar with the best in art, just so auickly will the ecrude in art be dis- placed through appreciation of some- thing Dbetter It is, of course, idle to,suppose that one shall become a competent judge of art simply through studying for a time photographs of prints. But what can and should be obtained is a large measure of ap- preciation. A work of art which is really great will bear reproduction, and even though this may not pos- sess the pleasure-giving power of the original in a gallery three thousand miles away, that measure of power which it does possess is well worth taking. One of the leading art critics has said: “You must look at pictures studiously, earnestly, honestly. It will take yvears before, you can come to a full appreciation of it, but when . at last you have, you will be possesged of one of the 'purest, loftiest, and most ennobling pleasurcs that the world can’ afford.” - This collection has been made by experts. Every artist who knows how to draw at ail has something to give of pleasure and profit, but the greatest even have the most and best to give. These pictures are of inter- est to both young.and old, and they are expected to attract and instruct large numbers of pcople. _ Similar exhibits have been held in other schools and have proved successful, particulariy at the Stan- ley school. Permission has been re- cently given by the school board to conduct this exhibit and members of that organization have been invited to attend. hing sachusetts, on hibition hundred iven consisting in photographs, large photo- Events Tonight “Diplomacy Lydeum theater.

Speakers included Viscount Shibu- sawa, chairman of the Tokio bankers association, and Georze W. Guthrie, United States ambassador to Japan.
