"We are often asked by visitors I Irani the east and west just what Hfeet these paintings arc" having I upon the pupils who view them con- Rfantly," explained Wayne Johnson, John-son, member of the art committee, in discussing the project. "The' answer cannot be intelligently intell-igently given. We know of no way to make this measurement. j "Wo can only say that we arc sure that the affect is cultural and refining. The collection is growing very fn:;t. We' already wonder what v.-e tihall do for wall space, in a few years. No, we do not want a sap- i mate art building. We want always to have the pictures hung whore the ! pupils can se'e Them daily, and v.liere the patrons meet for social, religious and educational purposes. Finally, what is its effect upon our city?

We just received an I- urgent invitation to visit an exclu-r exclu-r Give art exhibit in the big metro-, metro-, polls. Are we not being known through tlie Art Project? |
