Altsheler, Poe, Kipling, DeMille, Ander- sen, Oliver, Doyle, are entered in the parade. A volume of Art Through the Ages, The Lost World, Girls Men Marry, Benjamin Franklin's Autobi- ography, American Poetry, Elementary and Civic Biology, The Trail of the Lonesome Pinef' volumes of World Books and Encyclopedias, sets of history books, magazines including Reader's Digest,', Travel, National Geographic Magazine, Boy's Life, and many others pass quickly. Straight rows of tables with inviting chairs suggest that one be comfortably seated to enjoy a daring novel, true historical tale, travel story, or magazine article. On the work table dried paste and bits of paper strew the entire top, with scissors lying in the midst of confusion. A card cabinet supporting a leaf-filled vase stares into space. Nearby, a bulletin board bears grotesque prints of Diego de Rivera's murals. Suddenly, the silence leaves the room. There is a shuffle of feet, shrill sounds of voices, and the voice of the librarian and assistants fill the room. Books and magazines are hastily Hchecked in only to go into the hands of another. A bell rings! Each person selects a book or magazine hurriedly and moves quickly toward his chair, seats himself and soon the room is again quiet, silence reigns, and the rows of books take their positions and march on quietly as before.

ART NO, THAT line is not right, there should be a little more angle to it,'l or that nose is slightly small.', A sharp featured, kindly man, eyes gleaming with enthusiasm, directs the artistic efforts of his pupils. Some are working on art pages for the annual, carving in modern fashion beautiful linoleum blocks, etching muscular figures, or blocking off designs for the cover die. Others industriously strive to shape realistic models of animals, humans, and other objects to enter in the Carter contest, While yet another is absorbed in the work of painting a landscape or a beautiful vase. One young artist stands at a window gazing off into the distance, inspired by the mountains rearing high to the west. Now he's sitting on the edge of a cliff drinking in the splen- dor of a Western sunset-then sailing in the breezes sweeping down the can- yon onto the lake. Reverie interrupted by the instructor coming into the room, he goes to his seat to put his imagination to work on paper, with figures, lines, or colors. There goes the bell! Students hurriedly leave to make room for others who come to appreciate the colorful redheads of Titian, the versions of pres- ent day industrial strife by Thomas Benton, or the pastoral symphonies of Grant Wood. They learn to recognize the paintings of the masters by the characteristics of their work. Men die and are forgotten, but the great world of art still lives. l-l I-'1'1'4'-11111141 llrf11f'iny1 Is Ihr' I nl'111I1lfirn1 ul' .HI .lrf
