Recognizing the- educational advantages to be derived front opportunities to see good art, the Parent-Teacher Association has arranged with the Elson Art Publication Co,, Inc., of Belmont, Mass, for an art exhibition of two hundred pictures to be held in the Farmville High School; building here May. 14-17. This collection, consisting in large part, of carbon photographs, photog ity to see a collection of *;the world'sJ famous masterpieces of painting, sculpture, and architecture. Second?To make it possible for the public schools to own a few of these pictures. Why should this exhibit interest you? Because, throughout the~ country, people are awakening to the impor tance and value df good art as crea tive of a refining influence and in spiring atmosphere?and, just so sure ly as people toefcome familiar with the best in art, just so quickly will the chide in art be displaced through ap preciation of something better. It is, of course,' idle to suppose that one shall -become a competent judge of art simply through studying for a time photographs of prints. But what can and should be ob tained is a large measure of appre ciation. A work of art which is really great will bear reproduction, a&d even though this may not possess the pleasure-giving pow.er of the origr inal in a gallery three thousand miles away, that measure of power which it vdoes possess is well worth taking. One cf the leading art critics df qar own, John C. Van Dyke, says:- . , "You must look at pictures studi ously, . earnestly, honesfy.

Beginning as soon as seed enough cain be found for the business, the North Carolina Highway Commission will become the proprietor of the big gest lawn in the State; being approx imately 1,400 miles long and twenty feet wide, according to plans approved by Commissioner Frank Page and di rected to be put into effect immediate, ly. The work has already started in the Fourth District, and is ready to begin fn other districts. The "lawn" will be sowed along the shoulders of the 1,400 miles of paved roads in the -State system, the ten feet of soil on either side of the pav ing being set in some tough grass that will resist eroision, and not be hurt by automobiles that leave the paving in passing or for other causes.. It is believed that the entire program will be well under way before the end of the summer, and much of the mile age completed. -I Primarily the plan is. to simplify the problem of maintaining the dirt shoulders of the paving- slab. Trouble has been experienced everywhere in keeping a smooth -surface on them, due to the fact that traffic leaves the pavement; and a heavy rain will score 'them badly. The grass will save the washing out of the shoulders, and in a large measure prevent the rutting of the shoulders by the tires of auto mobiles that leave the pavement 1 Bermuda grass will be- used; since it offers the greatest resistance to weathering and to traffic, "Where if Is possible' the sodding will be done - ? ihystr&nspl anting, but in some instan ces the seed will have to be sown.
