This also may be said of the mural decorations, in which Mr. Wessell has demonstrated that he has found his real field In creative work. We hear so much in professional circles about the barrenness of modern public buildings that It is' unusually refreshing and fine to have a building presented to us In which there has been an effort to carry out a large scheme of decoration.

It 1b the choice of subject of Herman Wessel's murals that points to a new condition in mural painting. Ar-tlBts no longer delve In the dusty pages of pagan symbolism for the subjects their murals, but rather do they go straight to the history of that locality and usually find it rich In pictorial pageantry and strong figures, symbolic of Its growth. This is an attitude of mind that gives original and creative art. It is a demand of the people for an expression that Is significant of their time and culture. Would we have had our great Italian fresco painters If they had not been given definite commissions? For instance, we should not have had Botticelli's exquisite "Adoration of the Kings" had not Plero de Medici wished to mave a votive offering to Santa Maria Novella for the deliverance of himself and family from the death and ruin plotted against them by LuCa Pittl and his fellow conspirators.

Secretary Wilbur declares the "Constitution" Is a worthy memorial of the spirit which made America virtually the only nation of the world to champion self-government in the early days of its history; that by reason of her glorious career as a vessel of the United States navy she epitomizes within herself the history of the early struggle of the Republic as well its subsequent development. Today her guns are firing the signal of distress.

The same feeling of loyalty that hs sustained the Government under its constitution in peace and In war will answer the call to rebuild its rotting hulk as a memorial of the means by which the Government was maintained when, almost alone among nations, it stood for the right of people to govern themselves.

In looking at the reproductions appearing with this number it will be well for my readers to remember 'that it la most difficult to ge good photographs of pictures of such large dimensions at so great a height, but at least they may gather from them that the murals are splendid achievements and that Herman Wessel's knowledge of mural decoration, his able technique which alone gives him the power to handle and command surfaces on a large scale, his fertile mind and creative impulse are quail-ties in an artist that Cincinnati has produced that should be sturdily fostered 1sy the people of our community.
