Miss McCauley pointed out. that a beautiful picture in a school room gives the children all the romance and beauty of a fairy story, and that beautifying the school grounds gives them a civic pride. She said that the ParentTeacher organization is one of the greatest things of the time. The Art league gave a beautiful painting to the public schools as a memorial to Miss Viola Caswell. Sev-· eral other organizations contributed to the purchase fund, among them The Central-Laurel P. T. A., 'The Teachers' ·· club, The Board of Education and a ·oomber of individuals.

E. L. Nygaard, Kenilworth superintendent, who is a personal friend of the painter, told something of his life . and character. The stage was beautifully decorated with ferns and flowers in honor of the occasion and the painting was displayed so that all could see it.
