42 WILMETT ·E LIFE J nne 17. 1927 Those wh? love fine painting, fine etching, fine architecture, do not shout thetr tastes frotn the housetops. But the world n1ay know the possessors of such discerntnent -easily and sure Iy. l\rt has a· way of tnarking its 1nen with a poise arid reserve that con1es through its insight into sound values. The love of genuine art n1akes for finer leaders, finer builders. D EEP DOWN IN EVERY HUMAN Hh r~R1~ Tts influence strengthens the hotnes of those who love it ,vith the caltnness of balance and proportion~ and the mothers of those homes are finer mothers :\nd better ho1ne-builders because of it. Deep down in every hutna. n heart is the need for art -for the beauty in art. And this twentieth century has especial need for its repose and inspiration. "I think that sculpture and painting have an effect to teach us tnanners, and abolish hurry," said Etnerson. . · · People of Evanston and the North Sh~re know the truth of these \vords. l n perhaps no othet- cornmunity in growing Arnerica is there a readier acceptance of fine art. Fine people welcome that which makes for refinetnen t. But the lovers of art are practitioners as well as appreciators, or long to be. 'fhey are not content tnerel y to inspect a hanging of interesting paintings. rfhey want also to know the technique behind fine painting. They long to apply the brush and pencil and see what happens. Each in his o\vn hutnble way wants to learn the elen1ental "hows" of art. ~1ore itnportant still, they are anxious that their sons and daughters learn these things in good season. For the boy, apart from the cultural value of any group such knowleqge, who can sketch is a n1ore convincing talker he can give fonn to his ideas. And the girl who early learns color and fonn values \vill build a tnore livable and pennanent horne for herself and her children. in ~~tnong those who study art there happens, now and then, one with rnore than a casual gift . . . The Sage of Concord says another \vise thing: " E,·ery genius was once an a1i1ateur." Raphael once an unlearned urchin, Sargent studying color and drawing . . . There can be no sy111phony \Vithout a knowledge of orchestration, no great. art without a grounding in the fundatnentals. Evar:ston and the ~orth Shore have long awaited the founding of a school \vhich \Vould rival in the excellence of its faculty and equipn1ent, in its opportunities for thorough study and insttuction, the fatnous art schools of :\n1erica. - !HE EVANSTON ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS· · CARL ScHEFFLER, FALL Carlson.
