. British Art Leads 'World, Says Duveen In New Book He Scores Theory that Brutality and Strength Constitute Beauty British art today is the best in @he world, Sir Joseph Duveen, inter mational art dealer and authority, as- sorts In his book 'Thirty Years of British Art," recently published in New York and in London" In subject as well as in treatment, Bir Joseph asserts, "British pictures are generally better and more attrac- UTTERLY WORN OUT Women Weakened by Worry. help It," sald a woman recently when told to take things easy and not wor Ty. It is the duty of every woman to save her strength. If she finds herself getting depressed; if she feels utterly worn out; worries over trifles and frequently has nervous headaches, she will be wise to realize her nervous system needs attention. . Starved nerves mean a breakdown. To feed the nerves you must build up the blood. 'To do this there is nothing to equal Dr. Willams' Pink Pills. "I don't want to worry, bat I can't] tive than contemporary Continental These Pllls not only enrich the blood products. - The cult of the ugly, but actually create new blood which though not unknown in London, has feeds and strengthens the merves and mever been carried to the lengths that banishes the cause of nervous disor- # has in Paris and Munich." 8ir Joseph declares that he has no sympathy whatever "with the Con- tinental school whose argument it is dhat brutality is strength, and that strength is beauty. Brutal subjects and brutal methods may find approval fa certain Continental cliques, but I am quite sure they will never suit the taste of the British and American public." Says British Art Needs Publicity British ~rt needs only publicity to obtain merited support, Sir Josepk as- serts. The "supply" of British art, he asserts, "Is excellent, but at pres- ent the demand is much less than it ought to be, Other governments re- eognize that the art products of their eountry are an important asset in the total of that country's wealth, and accordingly they give a great deal of encouragement to their artists. Not enly do they buy far more than. the States/does in Great Britain, but they give their artists facilities on nominal terms for exhibiting both at home and abroad. Thus they Increase not enly their sales at home, but also their sales abroad "In some countries, notably In France," Sir Joseph comtinues, "the export of works of art by living art- tots Is fostered and cared for by the public authorities in every possible way. These exports, amounting to many thousands of pounds each year, are regarded as being just as import. ant a source of wealth as any other productions. = More so, indeed, for while all manufactured exports in- erease a country's wealth, contempor- ary works of art are in addition evi- dence of a country's culture and so add to the prestige of a nation. "These facts are well known and appreciated on tho Continent," Sir ders. : Women cannot always rest when they should, but every woman can maintain her strength by the help of Dr. Willams' Pink Pills. Start tak- | ing these Pills now and see how soon { improvement will show by increased energy, keen appetite, strong, steady nerves and robust health, These Pills are sold by medicine dealers or by mail, postpaid, at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brock- : ville, Ont. ; 'Modern Goncration Are Lazy Thinkers | Professors Says Country Chil- dren Have More Thorough Knowledge Than City Children Sloppy knowledge and lazy think- ing were scored by Professor O. T. Currelly as dangers of the present | day In an address om "The Relation | of the Museum to the Public School," | glven recently before the Toronto Home and School Council here. | Professor Currelly first illustrated from his experience of people the fact that home environment was the ma- trix which held together knowledge gained from academic training. After reviewing the interest in col- !lections of the world's best art and the connoisseurship that had followed after security in material things had been brought, the speaker pointed the importance of both broader culture and exactness of knowledge in enjoy- | ment of life or accomplishing of fine things. He recalled the interest in such matters after the Romans had Joseph continues, "ont they are sel-| brought security into Europe, at the dom realized in our own country.

Deplores Indifference of Public Sir Joseph deplores the ignorance of the average Englishman regarding contemporary English art as compar- ed to the knowledge of the French- man regarding French art. "Once we ° leave the relatively small circle of people keenly interested in modern art," he says, "it is amazing what ignorance exists in England concern- tng artists whose work is held in the Mghest esteem, both by the fellow- artists and by professional art critics. Ask the average Englishman to give you the names of a dozen living Brit- 4sh painters and a dozen living British sculptors, and he is likely to be hard put to it to complete the lists." Sir Joseph cites three factors which he considers vital to the artist in sell- ing his paintings. "These three @hings are size, subject and price. It #8 better to sell six pictures for low prices than to sell one for a high price and kept five hanging for months or years in a studio. ' "With regard' to size, the wise painter will bear in mind the dimen- slons of the ordinary middle-class sit- and till his position is secure and his reputation established --and perhaps even then--he will re- rain from painfing monster-size can- vases which could only be accommod- in a municipal art gallery or palace of millionaire." * Forget It! - When someone hasn't played the game, you have had to take the blame, "t turn eround and do the same! : Forget It!

Later the world had to turn to France for the finest pro- duotions in many lines. So apparent | was this after the great exhibition organized by Victoria and Albert, that the South Kensington Museum move- ment had been eagerly pushed to | bring England similar advantage. | "Only by seeing fine things people | learn to make and appreciate them," | the speaker sald. | The Germans had gone further by bringing this work before their chil- dren, and by stressing exactness, with- out which enjoyment of art is limited. In showing the value of exactness, and scoring a tolerance of inaccuracy, the speaker questioned whether stud- ents reading literature with only a sloppy knowledge of the references in fts words did not lose the meaning | and beauty of it. It is a tragedy in | education to lead children through poetry or history of a period without Professor Currelly | showed. The speaker commented on how many, allegedly educated people knew nothing really well. Country chil- dren grow up to know some things definitely but city children, unless the broad, exact aspect of their education were stressed, missed this genuine enjoyment. In becoming familiar with museums the student was saved from lazy did not just happen. That the very furniture with which they were sur- rounded was evolved through cen- turies of workmanship and art. emer reef ere "A pretty girle at the shore sald to her mother, "Jack says I'm the nicest girl he ever met; shall I ask him to call?"
