Mrs. Mildred Morgan of Iowa City, a specialist in the psychology of family relationships and adolescent problems, visited the Wiiiterset high school, March iii-15. Her first day's work, which included public addresses and conferences with students, was de- voted to the problems of family relation'- ship and was followed on the second day by discussion of boys' and girls' prob- lems. The tremendous response given Mrs. Morgan by the students shows the need of just what she is giving, highly trained guidance in understanding cne's self, one's family and one's friends: During the entire week of character emphasis, March 12-16. all class activity. even class work when necessary, was set aside for student meetings and confer- ences dealing with this business of char- acter building. The Power of Charac- ter was discussed at a union Sunday evening meeting. The high school girl as she is seen by a woman of the town, the high school boy as he looks to the business man, character when no one is looking, and character in thc open were .preparatory themes. On Wednesday five -hundred mothers and daughters en- joyed a buffet supper in the high school gymnasium in courtesy to Mrs. Morgan. At 8 o'clock two hundred fathers and sons, who had -been banqueting else- where, joined the party for an evening of thinking 'together on how to under- questions that stand one's'falmi1y.

He never investigates you. When charges are made against you, he does not ask proof, he asks the accuser to clear out. He likes you just as you are, he does not want to alter you. Whatever kind of coat you are wearing suits him. Whether you have on a dress suit or a hickory shirt with no collar, he thinks it's fine. He likes your moods and enjoys your pessimism as lmuch as your optimism. He .likes your success. And your fail- ures endear you to him the more. I-Ie Wants nothing from you except that you be yourself. Although you may sometimes seem to neglect him and' fsrget him he ignores the slight. Nothing can cause his faith in you to waiver. He keeps alive your faith in human nature. It is he who .makes you believe it is a good universe. When you are vigorous and spirited, you like to take ycur pleasures with him, when you are in trouble, you Want to tell him. When your time comes, you want him near. You give to him without reluctance and borrow from him without embar- rassment. He is the elixir of hope, the antidote for despair, the tonic for depression, tne medicine beside which dcctor's pills are futile. He is your friend.

Considerable of the picture shows a prairie schooner drawn by oxen across the prairie. The family ride upon the wagon or walk at its side. Behind them and seen through the growth of stalks -at the right come crowding the other pioneers and later men. In the air and before the wagon are floating four female figuresg one holds the shield with the arms of the state of Iowa upon it: one holds the book symbolizing enlightenment: two others carry -a basket and scatter the seeds which are symbolic of the change from wilderness to plowed fields and gardens that shall come over the prairie. Behind the wagon and also floating in the air, two female figures hold respect- fully a model of a stationary steam en- gine and of an electric dynamo to sug- gest fortunes which come with the later 111611. In the right hand corner of the pic- mellons, pumpkins, etc., among ture which 'stand -a farmer and a girl, sug- gest that here is the fringe of cultivation and the beginning of the prairie. At the left a 'buffalo skull emphasizes this sug- gestion. 'Considered techincallyithe dominant motive of the composition of the picture is the festoon or Roman garland. This is carried out by planes of light color, commencing, at the left with a group of spirits, carried downward by White bo- dice of the girl gathering flowers, on- ward through the mass of light through the center to the White overdress of the girl leading the child and finally toward the right and upward, in the figures of the farm girl and the spirits of steam and electricity. The dark accents in the composition are furnished by the three men grouped together and by the skirt of the flower-gathering girl. The hour chosen for this picture is late afternoon, since VVestward sug- gests going to the setting sun. The scheme of color of the picture is based upon this choice of hour being in the main made up of orange-pink sunset Painted by Guido Reni The original painting in the Rospig- liosi Palace, Rome, is painted on the ceiling of the pavilion. A little girl once said she likes Guido Reni's Aurora, because the people in it seemed to be in such a hurry. So young and old have found one reason or another for liking the picture. Few in all the kingdom of gods are more belov- ed than Aurora. She is the loveliest of all the goddesses, she is the white-robed messenger of light, joy, peace and giver of all good things. The stars, the morn- ing and evening breezes are her child- PGH. In The Aurora, Apollo is driving his sun chariot. Aurora in flowing draper- ies, flies -ahead, scatter-ng he clouds of night and showering roses and dew- drops over the sleeping earth. She looks back toward Apollo, the sun god, to see if he is following her on his journey around the heavens' in his chariot of the sun. The horses are restless and eager and it takes ia steady hand to guide them. ' 1 light and its natural complement. Blu- ish shadows, with a few spots of dark blue and brown are given as aforesaid by the costumes of the men and the skirt of the kneeling girl. For the sake of preserving the unity of the composition certain liberties have been taken with average probation. Thus t-he driver of the 'oxen is upon the side which is not inventorially correct because had he been placed in the cor- rect corner of the canvas he would have thrown the composition out of balance. Advantage was therefore taken of the fact t-hat he might Inomentarially have left his place. Again, a very small child would not very often hurry along keep- ing up with' striding men -and women, but on the other 'hand children did wish and need, for the sake of exercise to run along wild with the procession. From the point of view of composition, a small mass or figures was needed just at the point where the child was introduced: a d-sg would have mae 'a spot of about the right height, but two dogs were ali-early in the picture, and a figure of a smzul child therefore served the purpose. 22 ' M C H M gigdfdff C' 3 1 4' 1 .v C .Y--'H' H .-- .16 I, , r f I 8 J ' eu in A X!
