But the auth- orities hasten to add that "there is no question of acclimatizing negro dances in the Sorbonne halls." They se¢ no objection only to 'the study of those rhythmic steps and evolu- tions which the Greeks held in honor and raised to the ranks of religious art." 'The University takes the oc- casion also to demounce modern dance as "degenerated from art to a sart of musical epilepsy, thanks to cabaret keepers and nrusical mer- cenaries in whose hands it has been abandoned." WATER COLOR DRAWINGS Of Rural Epgland at Kirkpatrick's Art Gallery. It is some time since Kingston had a good exhibtion of water color drawings, so picture lovers will be all the more pleased at having an opportunity of viewing and, if. they wish, buying, some of the exceeding- ly 'attractive pictures brought to Kingston by the artist, J. Geddard Walton, that are on' view in the Rirkpatrick Art Gallery this week. Mr. Walton is, he will tell ypu, a Canadian who has spent some time in England, and has, as you will see, been greatly attracted by the flow- er-surrounded English cottages of which he has many pictures, each one distinctive in its way. There is real charm in this artist's treafment of his subjects. Bhadows fall across the flagged stones of the path where tall hollyhocks, Madonna lillies and larkspur make bright patches of col- or. A climbing rose is shown against the soft background of a thatehed roof, and perhaps there is a glimpse of the sea in the distance. But much as art lovers would rejoice in having one of these charming pictures on their walls; there are other subjects to choose from. "In Sherwoad Forest" shows a great oak still in full 'leat that was old in Robin Hood's day and has room within its huge trunk for a party of travellers, "The Wishing Well" is a charming bit of soft color, and several courtyards of oli inns arg Interesting. In one corner are the Canadian pictures with their blu- er skies and clearer atmosphere. Sev- eral sketches of Lake Erie shore and a delightful bit of autumn coloring on Decew river near St. Catharines, will delight those who like home pletures best. Mr. Walton's work Is satisfactory. He paints the thing as he sees It without striving after effect, but those who delight in futurist and cubist pictures and admire the ef- forts of that popular school may not care for the charming water color drawings of subjects that are in themselves delightful and are re- produced to make a restful and or- namental picture.

Devo -- THE CLASH OF COLOR A Study in the Problem of Race. : ott -> r In March, 1924, the first edition of "Thd Clash of Color" by Basil Matthews was published and in No- vember, 1925, the fourteentlr edition was ready for sale. This in itself is a remarkable success for a hook of non-fiction. but the appeal of the book and its far-reaching message Is still more remarkable. It gives a vivid picture of the world as it is to- day and a warning of what the future may hold; and not only are its readers taken as it were im a Jopan, in India, in Africa men and glimpsing their conditions and pro- blems, but they are vouchsafed a glance backward down the centuries and shown some of the events that have given rise to those conditions. Facts and figures are staggering. Of the fifty-three m\ljions of square miles of habitable land on the globe forty-seven millions are under white dcminance. By far the greater part of these forty-seven millions are under the leadership of the English- speaking peoples with Great Britain in the lead to the extent of having siwout of every seven of her citizens colored. White leadership is the dominating feature of the world's political landscape. "We take it for granted, What has produced it? Can it survive? Ought it persist?" asks the author. The inventions that have made the world one from a commercial and industrial standpoint have changed the face of things. In China, in Japan, in India, in Africa, men and women are making in factories, dig- ging from the earth and growing in plantations articles we Canadians use in our daily life. The railways, the radio and all the marvellous inven- tions have made it possible for news te travel to the distant corners of the earth and the white man has made it his business to "farm the world" and in doing so has stirred the races of the world into new life. Basil Matthews feels that to solve the problem of "self-determination" for the nations in a way that will make the world one, there must be what he calls "team play" between them. He sees China as he pictur- esquely describes her as "a bowl whose millions are spilling over the Pacific's brim." He sees the econo- mic difficulties and the labor pro- blems that bar the natives of the Orient from Canada, Australia and New Zealand. But he sees in a Christian China a solution to part of this probjem and in a Christian world the realization of the purpose for which man was created. In the last chapter with a bril- ling, he takes his readers once more over the lads and shows them the dark-skinned peoples who have 'their place in God's great scherue of things 'worshipping the same God as their white brother, ready to play Rr You are cordially invited to at- tend am exhibition of water colors by J. Geldard Walton.
