A SENSITIVE BOARD
THE 8ensltlvcnej.fi of the Beard of Public
Education concerning the Flncgan school
survey somehow Implies that knowledge of
the recommendations of the report has net
been withheld from the appointed body in
charge of education In this city.
Indeed, Sir. Catherine Is quoted as corn cern
(plaining that the Statu Superintendent of
Public Instruction has condemned certain
features of the system which have already
been rectified. It is net easy te undcrtnnd
why objection should be raised te criticism
of this sort. If the beard has anticipated
any of Dr. Finegan's proposed reforms it
would Recm that such foresight warrants
pleasure and self-congratitlntlen.
But the psjcholegy of the beard is often
'surprising. In the present Instance it is
.worth noting, while the alleged withholding
of the survey is disapproved, some of the
points exhibited are declared te be super
fluous. Tills blend of Information and al
leged ignorance is curious, te say the least.
1 UNCER'S SENTENCE
THE eight te twelve year jail sentence
imposed yesterday by Judge1 Shoemaker
pen Walter A. Ungcr, the "boy plurrgcr"
vhe looted the safe-deposit box of the Evans
Dental Institute and lest almost 200.000
of his employers' money In stock-market
speculations, will net settle thf unsettled
Question of bucTset-sheps. It will net pre
ject the woolly lambs of the future from
being eaten by wolves in the snide brokerage
'business.
4 'Will it teach a leseii te the employer"!
Who permit underpaid aud inexperienced
euths access te their money vaults? That,
rtoe..is doubtful.
Ungcr will go te jail and he will be for
gotten. It seems tnat the bucket-shops and
the abuses of the stock-market system are
Jetng forgotten, tee, and left exactly as they
,were before the succession of scandals and
failures of the Inst few months.

" EDISON IS THIN-SKINNED
T)BOF. SCOTT, of the University of Wii
Jf censln. one of a large number of persons
te-whom Mr. Edisen hud written for opin
ions en his money theories, made the proper
reply.
It was that nothing short of a treatise en
money and banking would be adequate, but
that almost any elementary textbook would
answer the most fundamental of Mr. Edi Edi
eon's questions.
,Mr:. Edisen is displeased and has written
teHhe president of the university complain cemplain complain
2uTef Prof. Scott's "discourtesy." He ex
plains that many persons have taken pains
ete answer his questions at length, and he
xegrcts that the Wisconsin professor did net
de se,
Mr. Edisen Is really tee sensitive. He
ght te hnve expected some plain "peech
hen he assumed te cot forth theories of
eney which every person who knows nny-
ng -nbeut tlie subject had long age re
setted as both unsound and foolish. Seme
ewspaper", Including this one. pointed out
lg fallacies, without much consideration for
bis feelings. If the ether college professors
hove been patient enough te explain te him
what Is the matter with his theeilcs It must
ibe because they have grown accustomed te
(teaching freshmen and te being teleiant with
Jthelr Ignorance.
I Mr. Edisen Is a great inventor, but he
would better lenvp economics te thesC who
.knew something about it, Instead of trjlng
Je prove that the experience of centuries is
"without foundation.
POLICE AND VOLSTEADISM
ffTNTIL county, State and uunidp.il iollce
JU organizations In nil parts of the I'nlted
atntes can ne per.suadcii te uet consistently
in. Ce-operation with prohibition enforce
ment agents dire, ted from Wushlnjrten, and
rtintil District Attorneys can be cenvimed
that they bheuld extend nil the aid in their
power toward the enforcement of a. general
jaw, Velsteadlsiu wi. be mere or le of n
ead letter in many large areas. Jehn T.
Davis, State prohibition director, admitted
this by implication in his address te the
bectlng of District Atternejs at Hurrls
burg. He admitted, for eiample, hY iu.
ability te report upon the activities of the
t3,000 individuals who held Kcdernl m.r.
mlts te bell and transport whlskv for nnr.
t, poses supposedly lcgitlmnte. His smff of
aV:
Xw
Da
$& aistantH Is tee limited te undertake the
f,y.'S"e(r!!!6ar' investigations. This means that
lue nuu rue m .i gicin in m ei contraband
liquor is still, and probably will continue
-te be, undbturbed.
Jf n.i....ii.. .!. ,...i.!i.i,t.t...- .
ITv w'ij ' luuHiujiiuiHsii nre prepnr-
l!i Inir te admit what they refuted te admit in
aW beginning mat wlille the Velstead law
is, adequate enough te meet th'lr wishes,
he mechanlMii for enforcing it is wholly
deficient. They nie nppcnling new (0
churches, te clersymvn mid te voluntary or er or
kanlzatlens of private iltlzeus for uid and
fco-epcrntlon becuuse Congress, 'invlng
VtDiicd the Dry Law, seems te hm y re
, solved te let it fall into disuse bj making
uyBtcmatic enforcement virtually Imnaswl
jijile. In the end thu Federal tigencles must
turn nml turn again te the local police.
Fer either the co-operation of city police
iburcuuH or u greatly enlarged Federal en en
"fercement organization will be necessary te
maintain even n semblance of prohibition in
4)tates like Pennsylvania.
TiM vJT' I happens thut police forces are net or-
liffi, twiled from tliesu classes et sei lety which
& consclentleuBly oppehed te all forms of
S'isTlfc liquor' business. Pennsylvania has upon

r7httr'M tue police inemsenes bcem te De cod.
ijtfetniiti, that law does net exist. In New
we iecui peucu orguiiizatieus are
17, disinterested. Thus the District
( mn ' " it is net
'tajMMtaec of their offices te go
. nvwei m- i wmmm
prosecution". They net, as a rule, upon
evidence uncovered by the police. When
the District Attorneys of Pennsylvania
meet and resolve te help toward prohibition
enforcement they are premising what they
ennnet deliver until the local police In lnrge
communities and police officials generally
nre converted te Velsteadtsm. Jt is almost
unnecessary te sny that there arc nt present
no apparent signs of that conversion.
A great deal of additional money from
the Federal Treasury Is needed te strengthen
the Federal enforcement system. Will Cen
gress provide this money? That is the
question new, and it is Idle te cvade It.
Congress did with prohibition what it is
preparing te de with the bonus. It passed
the law without much thought of the method
or means by which it could be made opera
tive, just its It is eager te mi's the Soldier
Itenus Hill without knowing or caring where
the necessary four billions is te come frgtn.
WILL A MAN CUT HIS OWNs ,
THROAT TO SAVE HIS LIFE?
This Question May Be Answered When
We Knew Whom the Republican Ma'-
chlne Intends te Run for Governer
IP WE are te hne n Coxerner equnl te
the job, the politicians will have te step
dickering and begin te give serious attention
te the welfare of the State.
They nre new concentrating their atten
tion en their own personal fortunes. They
nre using the governorship as n pawn in
the gairfe they are playing te get control of
the political machinery. They seek te con
trol that machinery for their own profit.
One group Is after profit In the way of
greater political influence. Anether group
is nfter financial profit through control of
the men who will award contracts.
And se they are rushing up and down the
Stnte, talking with big and little men in an
effort te make combinations which will en
able them te force their will en the party
and carry their candidate through the pri
maries In May. Each little lender Is de
manding concessions In return for his sup
port, and the big leaders are consulting one
nnethcr, while each has n big knife behind
his back ready te use en the slightest provo
cation. The kind of a Governer the State needs in
the present crisis is a man who is his own
master. lie must be a mnn with sufficient
political courage te realize that he will
serve his party best by using all his energies
in the service of the people. And he must
have sufficient driving force te overawe and
subdue the politicians who will seek te ue
him te put ever their own schemes.
It Is notorious thnt n thorough house
cleaning Is needed in Ilarrlsburg. The men
In charge of spending the public money have
been indifferent. They have allowed In
numerable abuses te grew up. They have
Ignored the laws Intended te check many of
these abuses and have given fat fees te their
favorites. There are useless departments
and overlapping commissions and bureau
each one of which Is filled with the de
pendents of this or thnt political leader.
There can be no heuseclennlng without
hurting a let of politicians. Consequently
the politicians object te heus-eclenning.
They hnve prevented it In the past nnd they
will fight the nomination of any candidate
big enough te de the job. This does net
mean thnt they will oppose the nomination
of a man who talks about the necessity of
clennlnr; up the mes.. They will talk nbeut
it themselves In order te win support, be
cause they knew that It Is necessary "te
pander te the moral sentiment of the State."
But whoever Is supported by the machine
will be u man who can bi controlled by the
mrchlue. This will be seen te. If he can
not be contielled through direct cemmnnds,
he can be controlled indirectly either by
blocking all his plans or by surrounding him
with men who will play him false.
While one group of men is working te
maintain the stntus quo, another group Is
actively engaged In the effort te extend te
the whole State the system of contractor
demInntki that has been repudiated in this
city. Tens of millions of dollars are te be
spent en highway improvements. If a contractor-controlled
Governer is elected be can
lie trusted te nnneint a contractor-controlled
Highway Commissioner, with Inspectors who
ewe their jobs te the contractors and their
friends.
And then the hljhwav funds would be
sluiceil from the State Treasury into the
pockets of the contractor politicians.
If the State wants this sort of thing It tan
have It, but if It does net went it the way
te prevent it is te prevent the nomination
of anv candidate for the gnvrrnerhip con
trolled by the contractor machine.
If this city does net want its power te
clean its own streets taken nwa.v from it,
the aroused citizens must figlit the plan te
set up in H'rrl'burg the Influent i which
nre hostile te the present plan.
MeSparran, who ! te be the Democratic
candidate for Governer, is already charging
thut the highway funds have been spent ex-travn-jantly.
The nomination f u con
tractor candidate would justifj him in
charging thnt It was Intended te use the
Highway Department as an annex of n
political machine for enriching the poli
ticians. The enl way te meet the Mc
Sparnin charges is by the nomination of n
man nbeut whom there can lie no shadow of
suspicion and who admittedly ftands for
honesty and efficiency in evpry department
of government.
Xet n Uepubliv.au who meusureh up te the
required htnndnrd has been put forward by
any considerable fnitlen of the party. Seme
of them (eme nearer te it than etheis, nnd
some ate s far below it that they eugbt net
te be considered even for trading purposes.
And some with wide reputations and per
sonally unobjectionable are yet fe weak that
they could easily be bent te the purposes of
the men who .ire In politics for what they
can mukc.
The occasion calls for a real mnii. but
only an incurable optimist ran expect the
oelltlclans te consent te his nomination, for
the right man would put a let of the old
rang nut of bulnesH within three metitha
ifter he took his seat in the C.tpltel in
ilarrlsburg.
A RELIC WORTH RESTORING
THE proposal of the American Institute
of Architects regarding the restoration
of Iltirtrnm-'s Gardens Is In keeping with
the obvious necessity of safeguarding the
historic shrines nnd memerlnln of this com
munity ua auxiliaries te the Sesqul. Cen
tennial. It is Imperative that Philadelphia s-heuld
appear entitled te the precious treasures of
1U storied past. Much tidying up will be
necessary in providing a niltuble environ
ment for the gain year of 1020,
Effert of this kind may he. worthily ex
neuided uDen Bactrim's Gardsns. The state
of the eharalaOeld namUm there and the.
general condition of the grounds have been
Improved of late years, but much remains
te be done. . ,
The Philadelphia Chapter of the American
Institute of Architects suggests n program
of restoration which will recreate the past.
The plan Includes net only the recondition
ing of the llartram house, but the replanting
of the garden with specimens of such (lowers
as th6 first American botanist Imported from
England mid had collected himself In hts
extensive travels through the American
colenics. It may be taken for grunted that
nil the historical proprieties will be .observed.
PhiladclphlnnH arc disposed te consider-,
able Indifference respecting en a of the most
Interesting colonial survival In the country.
ItnTfrnm's Gnrdcns have net deserved this.
The harvest of restoration Is fully In order.,
In time may come the Improvement of the
Schuylkill's banks, which arc nt present n
shock hie disfigurement te the ancient cstnte.
The betterment of 'the gnrdeiis should serve '
te emphasize the need of scenic rehabilita
tion of n river .once ns beautiful nnd ns
picturesque hi Its lower reaches ns It is at
present in its course through Fnlrmeitut
Park.
HUGHES PROVES THE CLAIM "
NEAK the dose of the long analytic note
addressed by Secretary Hughes te the
principal allied Powers there-Is-a'' perti
nent quotation from ,the Treaty of Versailles
which establishes the validity of the Ameri
can claim for payment of the Ithlnelnnd
army bill. Article 251 accords priority
of payment through the Reparations Cem
mission of "the cost of any armies of occu
pation." The prevision is unqualified. The possi
bility of renunciation of the Versailles com
pact b any of the victorious Powers asso
ciated under the armistice is net considered.
In reviewing the significant clause, Mr.
Hughes nrgues directly en the point. Else
where in the Identic notes his processes of
reasoning seem les.s clear. The contention
that Germany's admission In the Dresel Dresel
Hesen Treaty thnt the United States was
entitled te certain rights under the Versailles
pact is tantamount te a grant of these
privileges by the Allies is nt least open te
dispute. Germnny was net entitled te
speak for the associated Powers.
The fact Is that the Drcscl-Itesen Treaty
is nn awkward instrument which raises
problems of particular intricacy. Grcnt
Ilrltaln, France, Italy and Japan are net
bound by its previsions.
But there is no mystery nbeut the Im
portant Article 11 of the Versailles
cevennnt. The premise te place the Rhine
occupation bill of the United States, which
in this instance amount te approximately
$LM 1,000,000, en n parity with the occupa
tion bills of the ether Powers is explicit and
unconditioned.
The tenor of Mr. Hughes' note is firm,
hut net belligerent. His nppcnl Is for "rea
sonable adjustment" and "assurances of
payment." Considering the financial rela
tionship In which the se-called nsseclnted
Powers stand with respect te the United
Stutes. it is net extravagant te imagine
that some accommodation will be reached.
The (Jtuntlen would, of course, be ma
terially eased by the presence of n duly
qualified American representative en the
Reparations Commission. It Is understood
that Mr. Harding is anxious te meke the
appointment.
But his hands nre tied by the Scnnte,
which affixed te the Dresel-ltesen separate
treaty with Germany a reservation vesting
iu Congress the power te control American
participation in the Reparations Commis
sion. Congress, ns is well known, Is inclined
te be shocked nt what the commission docs,
but is loath te permit this Government te
assert Its own interests there. "Foreign
entanglements" nre feared. The logic of
this view is elusive, but then Congress has
always been en excellent terms with par
adox. NO REST FOR IRELAND
CURRENT news from Ireland is ns black
as the native people iu Ireland them
selves might say as the bitterest enemies
of Irish nationalism could wish. The first
fires of civil war are smoldering en the
borderline between Ulster nnd the Seuth.
Neither the leaden In Ulster nor theso in
Dublin have had anything te de with these
fresh outbreaks of violence. The ugly busi
ness Is In the hands of guerrillas who seem
te hove get be.vend control.
Irrecencllnbles are deins In Ireland what
irrecencllnbles In the Senate of the United
Stntej are doing for the general peace Of
the world. They are frantically Inciting
violence, generating new hatreds and making
n way te frebh miseries for their misguided
followers. "Don't torpedo us!" cabled
Michael Cellins, head of the Southern Pro Pre
visional Government te the organized
friends of Ireland hi this country. While
he was writing that message torpedoes were
being prepared for him around the corner.
De Vnlern nnd his associates are playing
a very dangerous game. But It Is no mere
dangerous than the game being played by
the Die Hnrds In Londen and Belfast.
There are signs te indicute thut Amerlcuns
actively interested in the Irish question are
prepared te put all their energies nnd sym
pathies behind Cellins nnd Griffith. That is
what they will de if their interest In Ireland
Is as enlightened ns it Is sincere.

Br SARAH I). LOWRIE
!.., . San Francisce. March 18.
T HAVE just had n very Interesting con
" versnUeri eutihcre In San Francisce with
, Mlchdel. H. dc Yeung, publisher of the San
$ ' ranclsce Chronicle nnd of many ether great
things, II was nt a luncheon which the o e
called -"Cabinet'' a business and political
organisatien of unique' Importance out here
was' holding at the Palace Hetel. It was
their great yearly celebration, which is
always held en St. Patrick's Day.
I happened "te ask him-something about
the Panama Exposition here, nnd that
Marted him, .nnd startled mc 1 Because he
!?, Bl!?h. an authority en world expositions
thnt hls'odvlce te Philadelphia at this
momentous, time, when our exposition ideas
are stilt ,Jn the making, would have been
well Werth the journey out here te get.
.,.,JIe represented America In the Pari
'-ftXPOsltlen ! be wnn n meniher nf the Beard
Kpf Control of the Columbian Exposition
iue worm's Fair at Chicago; no was
appointed by the President n a representa
tive of the United States Government en
that beard, Congress having largely sub
sidized the undertaking. He was president
and director general of the Winter Expo
sition held here in Stin Francisce in 1804,
and, most important of .all. of -course, he.
was the leading spirit in the Panama Expo
sition held in Sun Francisce In 1016.
In factfOT fifty-seven years he has given
his services te the administration of the
power and money nnd brains which go
together te build up the great national and
international exhibits.
I ASKED him three questions, which he
answered in a flash as being matters
nbeut which there could be no doubt nnd
certainly no debate.
First question Hew much ground Is
necessary for a great exposition?
Second question What kind of a loca
tion Is best for u great exposition?
Third question Docs an exposition, such
as the one you had here, Injure a park
Irrevocably?
TO THE first question, about the size of
the ground, Mr. dc Yeung said very
emphatically r "Yeu can de It well with
300 ncrcs; anything ever 000 acres Is tee
much, because you can't concentrate the
crowd. Te spread the bulldingB ever 1000
acres .would be te court disaster."
Te the second question about location,
Mr. da Yeung gave this recipe: "Avail
nbllltnnd proximity nre the two necessary
factors. The place should be a park te
Which crowde of persons are accustomed te
go year in and year out. It should be near
great railroad terminals, nnd it should be
en n line of many car routes. It should
be ns near the center of the city ns possible
nnd net en the edge, if that can be managed.
In fact, a small,, park en the way te and
from business centers will be better than n
large park, no., matter hew beautiful, that
has te be reached by persons who must go
uui ei ineir way.
Te the third question, concerning the
possible injury te the park, he safd: "Part
of the general plan should Include replacing
the park in its original order. It is "much
less, expensive te replace than te create a
new park."
HE GAVE mc some very inteiesting de
rails concerning his difference of opinion
out in Chicago with the local people, who,
at the beginning of the work en the World's
Fnlr, wished te divide the exhibit, making
the urt, center en. the lake front nnd the
machinery and agricultural exhibits in Jack Jack
eon Part. As Mr. dc Yeung represented
the United Stntes en that committee, with
n number of, ether appointees who were very
much at one with ' him, he wn able te
quench the idea of u divided exhibit. He
said, lh commenting en the affair, that it
wns "a crazy Idea and would have killed
the exhibit, for the crowds would have
neglected the material exhibits, such as agri
culture nnd machinery, nnd gene nfter the
mere picturesque nnd easily assimilated and
mere beautiful section, which would have
comprised the art and architectural exhibits."
The local committee in the end thanked
him for hnving vetoed their original plan.
He had a very interesting and uphill
experience, also in San Francisce, making
the Mid-Winter Exposition of the foreign
exhibits tuLen . from" the World's Fair and
shown in Cnllfernia the following winter.
In five months' time he had te construct 102
buildings in which te held these exhibits;
some of these buitdlngu were permanent.
As he expressed it. he did it en a "shoe
string," having $300,000 only as his initial
subscription, from all sources, as capital.
In the beginning even the Mayer was ugalnst
the project, nnd net one cent of city money
was subscribed. Iu the end the exposition
made money and the city was delighted.
BUT perhups the most interesting result
te San Francisce of all this great man's
experience in things thnt please nnd Interest
the public has been the Memerial Museum,
which he himself' has given te the city out
at Gelden Gate Park. He has net euly given
the museum, but he has stacked it with
famous and beautiful and priceless posses
sions, It epitomizes his love of beuaty, bis knowl
edge of beauty and hts value of beauty as n
heritage for the many rather than the few.
Dr. Prince, who, in a
AlsefiilOhest manner of speaking,

terialization. Philadelphia!! has sent Ocean City Street

thnt his conscience would give him no quarter

NOW'MY IDEA IS THIS!
Daily Talks With Thinking Philadelphia en Subject They
Knew Best
RICHARD T. DOONER
On Art Week
ART- WEEK in Philadelphia is expected
by Its promoters net only te arouse n
mere general public Interest in the flue arts
in the city, but also te bring Pral"cnt y
before the country the fact that Philadel
phia is one of the greatest nrt centers et
the United States nnd te huvc its own citi
zens nnd the people of the country clearly
realize thnt fact, according te Richard X.
Doencr, president of the organization having
the movement in charge nnd the originator
of the idea.
"The plnn for an Art Week in Phllndel-
Shln Is net altogether n new one, said Mr.
loener. "As n mntter of fact, some of us
have had it In mind for nbeut three years,
but one thing or another has seemed te
Interfere with its successful accomplishment
until this time. But new theie Is every in
dication that it will go tlueugh successfully,
and certainly the nrt status of the city de
serves mere recognition than has been uc uc
cerded te it both at home and throughout
the country.
Philadelphia's Art Claims
"Just consider for n moment the position
which Philadelphia should occupy as one of
the great art cities of the Natien. It is the
eldest of the nrt centers of the United
States, nnd art In many forms lleurjshcd
here long before it wns recognized in ninny
ether places. Philadelphia has the eldest
Academy of the Fine Arts in the country,
the eldest Ait Club nnd the second eldest
Academy of Music.
"But It seems almost necessary te call the
attention of our own peeple as well ns that
of the country nt large te these facts. As nn
outstanding fuct against this splendid
record of accomplishment In all the fine nrts
iu former days, it is frequently necessary for
innuy of our urtlsts te go te New Yerk nnd
ether large elites for their market, nnd this
statement, whlle it applies in n greater or
less degree te all the forms of art, is espe
cially true of painting nnd of Illustration.
"Many of our artists send their work te
New Yerk, nnd ninny Philadelphia pattens
of nrt go te that city nnd purchase there the
work which was done In Philadelphia. Seme
of our illustrators de the same thing, nnd I
have actually known cases where the Phila
delphia urtist nnd tbc Philadelphia pur
chaser both went te New YerK, nnd the
transaction which should have been made In
the home city of both was consummated
there, lew, of course, the expenses of both
nnd the commission of the New Yerk art
dealer.
Sell Heme Pictures Here
"It Is also true that New Yerk ait dealers
frequently come te Philadelphia and sell in
this city iilctures painted by Philadelphia
nitlsts, and the same thing Is true of many
of the ether forms of art, especially of lllus lllus
tratlens. We have for years educated many
of the best American nrtlsts here und then
sent them te the ether large cities, there te
acquire the laniii which by every right
should be ours. We de net recognize sutlj.
clvntly what ve havn here, und yet Phila
delphia creates the fuel which keeps the fires
of art burning In practically every ether
center of the country.
"These tue the things which we hope te
overcome, or at least make a substantial
begluning in overcoming through Art Week.
The purpose Is net te advertise any artist
or group of artists nor te help them te sell
their work, although many of the works ex
hibited will be for sale. The primary object
is te 'tell' Philadelphia as n great art center
and as nn equally great art educative center.
If we can i.ccninplish this the hardest work
will hnve been done.
"The lending artists of Philadelphia have
entered Inte the plans for Art Week with
Interest nnd enthusiasm. Jehn Frederick
Lewis, president of the Academy of the Fine
Arts, has consented te net us honorary
president of the Art Week organization, and
nuientf .V vice presidents are such artists
In the various media as Charles Orally,
Hugh n. llreckcnrldge, Violet Oakley, Dan
lei Garber nml ninny ethers, while artists
of cquully high standing have consented te
nerve en the various committees. Therefore
in the important mntter of the personnel 0(
the organization we huvc secured the sup
port of the best workers that even thin city
of great nrtlsts can give.
The Leading Features

portant features of Art Week will be the

operation of the Chestnut Street Business
Men's Association, which is giving us Its
henrty support nnd cordially indorses the
ends which we hnve in view. At present we
have in mind a line of exhibition which will
extend from Eighteenth street te Twelfth,
but this may ba extended if we find that
we en n ebtuln the proper kind of exhibition
material.
"Within the limits of the proposed exhi
bition we shall select such windows for the
display as wc can obtain nnd which are
adapted for our purposes. Of course, many
of the windows nre net suited for the dis
play of art works, but we hope te get theso
which are fitted for this purpose, and from
the support which we have received thus
far I de net anticipate any trouble nbeut
this. It Is also our purpose te get as widely
diversified n collection of nrt works as pos
sible for the street exhibition, and it will
Include nil media which can be effectively
displayed In this manner.
"Our object In this street exhibit Is te get
the people mere closely in touch with the
work of our nrtlsts. There are many per
sons who will net devote the time necessary
te go te nrt exhibits In the Academy and
elsewhere, but there nre few who will net
step when they see one or mere tine works
displayed in a window. Even n brief exami
nation of nrt work has nn educiitivc value
which will hove nn effect upon these who
step te leek nt if.
"In addition te the street display, the
Sully exhibition will be en nt the Academy

Sully wus u Philadelphia!!. On the opening
night, thnt is Saturday, April 22. the Acad
emy of the Fine Arts will be open te the

"Anether Important thing which we hepe
te accomplish through Art Week Is te bring
nrt into the homes of ns many of our people

interesting features which wu propose
making n strong element of the week. There
will be something of interest each evening

nnd there will be abundant opportunity te
