Studying all phases of the demftcratic promise in England — France and central Europe and especially the presidential dictatorship In the United States —for whose policies he has little criticism— Dr Rogers comes to the conclusion that "democratic institutions (notably the American) “have proven able to govern with complete effectivenesa and at the same time to avoid penalizing dissent and ruling by the sword” a her university year but entering upon a career in business was unable to follow this interest She took up painting in water colore again last year working with Joseph A F Everett's outdoor classes and has made steady improvement showing a definite grasp ot composition and form and a growing sense ot values in landscape Miss Manning's group Of subjects shown in the Utah Art Institute's exhibition drew attention to her as a promising worker and won considerabla favor Two new landscapes she has just contributed general summer show at the Art Barn indicate an increasing assurance in tha handling of her medium "Across the Marsh” Showing placid pools that catch tha light amf a charming sky treatment is interesting pictorially and “The Quiet Jordan” has a happy summer feeling its reflections nicely handled Eyeretjt also has mad substitutions In his showing df w if e l ors i n d his "Road to th Wbr” has a freshness of color clarity of atmosphere and Joyous feeling that will attract attention to these new subjects Among the' many tourists' lrf the city who have found it of interest to visit this exhibition of Utah's art a party of teachera of art from the south were reoent attendants and were loud in their praise of this western product Quite' a number of the party finding l Interest in theshowing of water colors returned for visit to study the artists’ methods with closer r't-o- ' t ape-ria- There has been added to the show ’HIT week a group of unusurfl subjects by fe Ramond Hendry Williams former Utahn and teacher of art at Logan who has been absent from the state tor some years of which further mention will bt made later STILL' LIFE By LE BARON COOKE The flowers painted here No ope can define The artist's chief concern Was a perfect design Of flowers of the mind Unreal of eourse they seem To those unfamiliar With things rooted in dreams —From the Christian Science Monitor ful unsophisticated creature seems to have been expecting him and her greeting ' trims kasi" meaning "I accept what you give” conveys also a large generosity KiplingV' pronouncement Rejecting the author accepts rather that of Claude “FoX-W-a-- Aragdon and East are as atman and woman they cannot attain complete fulfillment save through union with one affother” The idyl there in the Java hinterland which seems to prove the fallacy of Kipling’s idea has rude interruption but Tanah’s wisdom and strength is greater than that of the West N E VADA "BOOM” DAYS- -
