Main Street, lllcbmond, Ta. 1 NATIONAL ORGANIZATION Arts and Crafts Workers Plan for Ex tension of Influence. Nominating- Committee Appointed and Other Step Taken at Iaat Week Meeting-. HE meeting of prominent arts and crafts workers held here, Friday last, for the purpose of form ing a National Associa tion, resulted in a most satisfactory start in this direction. There were in attendance representa tives from the southern, southwestern, New England, and central states, all prominent in important work in their re spective districts, and the result was the appointment of a committee, which will consider further details and report. This committee is as follows : Chairman, Mrs. M. F. Johnston, Rich mond, Ind. ; Secretary, Miss Maud Sum mers, Boston; F. Allen Whiting, Boston, Miss Jane Addams, Chicago, Charles Henry Eaton, Santa Barbara, Cal., Mrs. Eugene D. Hurd, Middleton, Ga., Gustaf Stickley,-Syracuse, X. Y.,Elwood Wood ward, New Orleans, Mrs. X. F. Burgess, Norfolk, Va. and Thomas B. Cotter, Pinehurst, N. C. This committee is empowered with full authority to accept resignations as neces sary,' till vacancies, or increase its mem bership to not more than fifteen, and is requested to consider, and report upon the following proposition : To bring about a closer affiliation of all the ai ts and crafts workers in the coun try. To consider the advisability of forming a national association to represent these interests, or to broaden the scope of an arts and crafts department of some exist ing national organization. To act upon the invitation of the Jamestown Exposition Company, to ad vise with reference to exhibition and con cessions in the arts and crafts village, which is being erected within its grounds. Mrs. M. F. Johnston, of Richmond, Ind., the chairman of the committee and who issued the call for the meeting, is chairman of the Arts and Crafts Depart ment of the American Civic Association. She has devel loped the interest of art in her community by bringing together fre quent exhibitions of handicraft work, paintings and other art objects, until she now has a strong local association, which has raised the standard of public appreci ation to such a plane that local collec tions are being formed by individuals and the schools whicli exceed in merit any similar collection in any town of the same size in the west. Miss Maud Summers, of Boston, the secretary, is a widely known writer and lecturer on educational and art subjects. Prominent among other members of the committee is Mrs.Eugene D. Hurd, of Middleton, Ga., the director of the Car negie free travelling libraries which now cover over eight hundred schools in six or eight of the poorest southern states. This work she began eighteen years ago' when, upon the death of a much beloved child, she decided to keep his memory fresh by distributing . his library among children who were without educational opportunities. This work, coming to the attention of Mr. Carnegie, enlisted a support which he has since given freely and in which he has expressed great interest because it reached a people who could not secure the advantages of such libraries, as he was establishing in the more prosperous communities. The officials of the Seaboard Air Line Railway have also assisted in this work, not only by transporting these libraries free of charge constructing suitable box es in their shops, but also by making sta tion agents responsible for delivery, and by arranging to have isolated employees supplied with reading matter by Mrs. Hurd. Mrs. Hurd expects also to arrange for libraries in stations to be cared for by station agents, and to be accessible to both the residents of the vicinity and the travelling public. The first experiment along these lines is about to be establish ed at Mrs. Hurd's home station, Middle ton, Ga. Mrs. Hurd has used this movement in the advancement of civic improvement and social welfare by requiring that all applicants before receiving the library, shall show that they have accomplished some good work in the way of improving the school grounds, planting trees, cleaning streets, or by doing other vil lage improvement work. Furthermore, when a travelling library has resulted in the establishment by a town of its own library, it is then with drawn and placed in the hands of some less favored community. Mr. F. Allen Whiting, Boston, is the director of the Massachusetts Arts and Crafts Shop, and was in charge of the Arts and Crafts Exhibit at the St. Louis Exhibition, which was given a place in the Fine Arts Building, a recognition not previously received. Mr. Charles Eaton, of Santa Barbara, Cal., is one of the best known arts and crafts workers in the country, and his products have always received high rec ognition whenever shown. Mr. Gustaf Stickley, of Syracuse, N. Y., is the publisher of The Craftsman, the most important arts and crafts publi cation in America, and the director of the well known Arts and Crafts community of which-it is the organ. Miss Jane Addams is the director of Hull House, Chicago, and is one of Amer ica's most distinguished workers in and lecturers on sociological problems. She has also greatly advanced handicraft work. Through her efforts, many social settlements, have been established in various cities. Mr. Elwold Woodward is director of the art department of the Newcomb School at New Orleans and has made this school the leading exponent of ap plied art in the south, its exhibits in variably receiving high recognition from experts. Mrs. Neva F. Burgess, of Norfolk, Va., has through the cooperation of resident manager Thomas B. Cotter and the management, been responsible for the development of home industries in
