It The schools use the Talmer system of penmanship, decjsed by A. N. Pal- mer, head of the publishing house. The course Is composed of 172 exercises. A htit'on, similar to a campaign button. Is given free to pupils hy the publish- ing boue upon the completion of twenty-fiv- e of these exercises. The competitive system provides for nn examination of the pupil's penman- ship after he has completed ion exer-c'te- s. To those whose work Is ad- judged satisfactory by examiners hired and pild by the publishing house a In prize pin is awarded. The pupil who wins geLs the pin by paying 20 cents.

"While it Is true that the Ronrd of Education has forhilden the collec- tion of money from pupils this thing has been going on for five year and no effort has been made to stop It. "The competition Is In the Interest of the children; It stimulates their nmbl. Uons, nnd they try to write well. Manager Steele, of A. N. Palmer & fa, said that his firm lose.s money by the competitions. "We examine papers for teachera with .1 view to awarding prizes," he said, "and you can see 'how much It co:U u. The pins that we award don't cost 20 cents each, but In addition we give without co3t between leO.OoO nnd 200,000 buttons every year. They of erst us about $10 a thousand. Then when we award the pins and certifi- cates, for which wo charge, we haie to pay the expenses of experts to look of over the papers. We might examine ",00 papers from one school and only lie And eight or ten pupils worthy of a prize. So nil we would get back for the trouble of handling the papers, keep- ing the records of all tho work don. and engraving the certificates would be n few dollars."

"We can't prevent n pupil from buy- ing a prize fiom some one outside, tho school," he said. "We have tried, but we don't see how we can stop It " The teachers It is said, nro In favor of the competition because they can of send examination papers to A. N. Palmer (,'0. and thus save themselves the work of examining uud marking. The publishing house Is In favor of It because it wins tho good will of tho teachers nnd gives the Palmer system a stronger grip on the schools, nnd be- cause In the course of n year It means the sale of n good many pins and Hut I ho publishing house has received many protests from parenta a who paid tho money for the prizes, fenring that 11 failure lo do so might prejudice n pupil In tho eyes of his tencher.

The experienced visitor who makes a pil- grimage to this roup of some isn pictures and pieces of sculpture, now at the Ameri- can Art (Jalleries, will probably find that the pictures that glee him pleasure above tlielr fellows are those In which the artists, besides having Ideas, have embodied them with some regard for Ihe special iiualllies of paint. In the entrance room, for there are half a dozen Zorns, In every one of which has been combined Interesting thought and skilful expression. Perhaps the expression has been a little more Inter- esting here than Ihe thought itself; that does not alter the general principle. In the large gallery given to Norway, on the next floor, six canvases by Kdvard Munoh, totallv different from the suave Zorns in feeling nnd intent, and varyinc also from one another, testify again lo the necessary relation between content and form; even so exaggerated a composition ns "Hummer Night," with Its group of pup- pet faced girls standing on a bridge, has a sky of translucent quality, with a horizon line quaintly and Ingeniously patterned by the steep roofs of the houses This seems. In comparison with much of the other work In the exhibition, like a concession to what the more radical would call art conventions, but In reality they are immutable principles upon which the art of painting Is based. And Munch Is willingly acknowledged as leader of-th- e forward thought In Norway, he has held this place on the firing line for twenty years. Hut without his acceptance of a sufficient basis of convention, without his readiness, a good part of the time, to take Into nccount the nature of paint as a me- dium of expression Munch might have had only a parocliisi reputation und Influence Instead of holding an International place In modern art. Not that Munch always meets half wy the world's demand for a treatment of point as a substance; he uses It with Irritating opacity In such a com- position as "in the Orchard," with lis ser- pentlike tree In the centre and lis girl and youth standing under the branches. Con- fusion ami luck of clear resonance and defi- nition of the artist's Intent result from such treatment of the painted surface, yet the picture Is not one to bo passed by, its power to arrest the observer's attention results from the vigorous draw Ing of the two figures tn ordinary costume and of the unforgettable tree; its effect Is obtained In spite of the needless handicap of sheer ugliness that has been placed upon it hy the author's wayward manner. Looking round these rooms one comes upon picture after picture In which valuable Ideas and sincere feelings have been mulcted of their chance to reach the observer ot their proper voltage, simply because of the Inability or neglect of their translators Into terms of paint and canvas. In the entrance room, for instance, there is a landscape by the Swede Hesselhom, "My Country," In which It Is qulto evident that the painter has felt keenly the beauty and spaciousness of this splendid outlook of descending hill slopes, with lakes In tho foreground, and deeply Indented fjords In the far planes of the picture, under n sky touched with the colors of dawn or sunset. One can fully understand the note iff exultation In tho freedom and freshness of this sweeping prospect, hut as n picture, tho enormous canvas that bears this record Is sorrowfully unbeautlftU. It is hlg beyond all need, Its color Is frigid, except nt the very edge of the sky Tho modelling of troea is conventionalized until they are robbed of Individuality, even as a mass. There la a note of coarseness In the handling not a whit more essential o expiesstho character of the aspects of nature that llesselbom wns striving to suggest than clumsy forms of vorbal expression would be In describing some scene of ruggedness and wide extension. 'I his landscape, by one of tho recognized nnd mature men In Scandinavian art, may be taken as typical. 1'or most observers It Is not unlikely that a good photograph of this plctute would be pteferahlo as a source of artlstlo pleasure to the Immense canvas Itself. Certainly this would bo true of another monstrous composition, Iho "Kvetilng Hells" of Ulnar Nielsen, in which all that the painter has told us about the Impressions he received fiom the well studied faces of peasants, standing In t lic foreground or a vast and darkening lainl-sc- could have been ituiveed in black nnd white in a cniuns one liv-t- the sP.

Branner of Cornell l nlveislty, himself a Norwegian and printer of marked ability, as n recent iroup of his work nt a MacDowell Club exhlhltlon testified. Prof Rrnuner re. marked that tho neasanta of Norwav fiom I lime Immemorial had made and used fur' nlliiro nnd house trim lhat they painted in Just Ihess highly keyed primitive colors. The custom roots deep In Hie national spirit snd In the present writer's nnlnlon It may well be regarded as the probable I r,ni, f ,i.r.. ,h. r nnrsrv Vnr,,r 1,,., .. ih. ftt. m.i r a people is the natural hasts for Its art music, ' which comes Inter.

Hut that makes It none the less difficult. It Is the engineer's problem of balancing round a fixed centre a set of divergent forces: the stronger the Indi- vidual forces, pulling every one In a different direction, tho more carefully must their respective lever arms be adjusted to bring about either a balance or a desired move- ment In a given direction. Hut It Is time to scan briefly some of the separate contributions to this Scandi- navian concourse, gathered together by President John A. flade of tho Amerlcnn-Scandlnnvt- Society and Christian Ilrlnton for exhibition In this city, Huffalo, Toledo. Chicago and Hoston. The Zorns tell their own story; they are representative, and they constitute one of tho chief attractions of the show, though they are not unfamiliar In matter or manner. The blond aspects of Swedish landscape are slgnalllzed by rjaestad, the champion skater, who has used the natural patterns of Ice and snow or moving water to serve as his themes. He has been moro successful In the two or threo tapestries he has woven, out of homely fabrics, than in tho pictures ho has painted In conveying the sparkle and the radiance of what he has seen, tho woven fsbrlo pro- vides tho precious element of reticent surface, Sweden's royal artist. Prince Eugen evinces a respectable talent, no more. In the two large landscapes here shown. All these are in the entrance room, and Ithere too Is a handsome pleoo of color by Bruno LilJefors As one mounts ths stairway a portrait of the late Nells Poulson of this city, whose endowment of tho American-Scandinavia- n Foundation with over half a million dollars has made this exhibition possible. Is met. a deserved tribute to a man of public spirit and racial pride. The Munehs dominate the Norwegian gallery. They show positive mentality and their treatment Is now admirable, as In "The Sick Child." or highly effective, as in the tall portrait of Hermann Bchllttaen, or perverse, as In "The Orchard," already noted Hut of the man's force, of his origi- nality, there In no doubt whatever. He is Interesting throughout. Henrik Lund, who accompanies the exhibition on Its American travels. Is well to the fore with a set of portraits and figure pieces. A young Norwegian, Onsager, discloses a more cosmopolitan point of view than some of his elders. His three canvases are among the best In the collection. Another distinct note Is sung by the oddly patterned puzzles of Arne Kavll, which suggest h little some aspects of Chinese painting. Of the" Danes Jens Ferdinand Willumsen Is easily the most conspicuous, witn ma group of Spanish subjects, ueciaeuiy in- gratiating, and his enormous composi tions of outdoor life or studio scenes. There Is imagination In "The Mother's Dream." with Us two vigorously ncsignea Doyisn figures, seen within a sort of veil or cloud of sonorous color. Syberg sings the na- tional note In "The Vlrst Day of Spring," another needlessly large exposition of a subject. The cosmopolitan type Is found ngaln In HammershoJ's studies of Danish castles and street scenes; there is a reminder here ot the finished style of early Holland painters. Highly characteristic. Is the group of roynl Copenhagen porcelain; the figure of a cnt, with Us thick lull curled discreetly In front of It, Is for nil tho world like one of tho well known literal y men of Ihe North. Hy no mentis to be neglected, whatever else In Ihe galleries one does or does not see, are the onlrihutlons of Axel I'etters-sim- , Norway s sculptor-carve- r, who was once a Joiner, nnd now has de eloped a style curlouslv piquant and amusing In roughly carved and painted figures In wood, making up groups mounted upon little platforms of Ihe same material. There Is delleliius humor in "At the Photog- rapher's," with Its agonized peasants posing before llie caiiicm. and there Is not only humor but deep In "The Funeral." with its otiii sliiceio mourner, the bowed and shiken old woman, among the con- - enllonnl group of men with lop hats and solemn countenances Daumler might have been glad loown sqeli work, Ihe Kinndinavian oUilhltinn will remain at Hi" Viueileaii Art (jalleries thiough I linstmss l),n POLICEMAN'S SLAYER TO DIE. l.'nalliiakl Will He Put to Death at Aiilmrn Next Month. niTrxLO.

THE TEAC1IEKS COOPERATE

From Pupils.

A system of compettlnn in penman-ship h.v which the pupils lisvn lo pnyfor the prizes Is being conducted in 375of tlie 500 elementary schools of thecity by n publishing house. The sys-tem, which has the cooperation of thteachers, has been going on spile of ahv-ln- passed two years ago by theHoard of which prohibitedthe collection of money from pupils,

Abraham Stern, chairman of the Com-mittee

hvon Klemcnlnry ScUools. said that

night that ho and his committee, havetried to stop 'the practice, but have not

a

succeeded. While he said that hi? com-mittee did not think the practice

ery harmful and therefore had nottried very aggressively fn put nn endto It, he said the teachers of penman-ship Inhave been forbidden to send exatnliMtlnn papern to the publishinghouse, that of A ?. Palmer X Co.. noIrving place. The practice. howeei,still goes on.

tne school which Is nnvr planning anexamination for the prizes for whichthe winners will have to pay Is No. 2S,In The Uronx. It

The schools use the Talmer systemof penmanship, decjsed by A. N. Pal-mer, head of the publishing house.The course Is composed of 172 exercises.A htit'on, similar to a campaign button.Is given free to pupils hy the publish-ing boue upon the completion oftwenty-fiv- e of these exercises.

The competitive system provides fornn examination of the pupil's penman-ship after he has completed ion exer-c'te- s.

To those whose work Is ad-judged satisfactory by examiners hiredand pild by the publishing house a Inprize pin is awarded. The pupil whowins geLs the pin by paying 20 cents.I'pon completion of the work nnothercompetition Is held, and to the best bewriters n certificate Is awarded, which Ithe winner ran get for 30 cents. doIn Public School 28 the principal I?

other elementary schools," ald Mr. Ta-lo- r.

"While it Is true that the Ronrdof Education has forhilden the collec-tion of money from pupils this thing hasbeen going on for five year and noeffort has been made to stop It.

"The competition Is In the Interestof the children; It stimulates their nmbl.Uons, nnd they try to write well.

Manager Steele, of A. N. Palmer &

fa, said that his firm lose.s money bythe competitions.

"We examine papers for teacherawith .1 view to awarding prizes," hesaid, "and you can see 'how much Itco:U u. The pins that we awarddon't cost 20 cents each, but In additionwe give without co3t between leO.OoOnnd 200,000 buttons every year. They oferst us about $10 a thousand. Thenwhen we award the pins and certifi-cates, for which wo charge, we haieto pay the expenses of experts to look ofover the papers. We might examine",00 papers from one school and only lieAnd eight or ten pupils worthy of aprize. So nil we would get back for thetrouble of handling the papers, keep-ing the records of all tho work don.and engraving the certificates wouldbe n few dollars."

He said that In June, 1911, he haflsent u letter to nil members of the Hoard oof Kducatlon nociualntlng them withnil the facts and that no opposition hadbeen nhown. Ho sntd that 37." schools ofIn the city have put In the system of Ascompetition.

Mr. Stern said he has heard of thecompetition and has tried to stop It.

"We can't prevent n pupil from buy-ing a prize fiom some one outside, thoschool," he said. "We have tried, butwe don't see how we can stop It "

The teachers It is said, nro In favorof the competition because they can ofsend examination papers to A. N.Palmer (,'0. and thus save themselvesthe work of examining uud marking.The publishing house Is In favor of Itbecause it wins tho good will of thoteachers nnd gives the Palmer system astronger grip on the schools, nnd be-cause In the course of n year It meansthe sale of n good many pins and

though llie development of what the worldever reeognles as hesttty of formal utter-ance has lagged behind Ihe creative func-tion In Seandlnat Ian stt save In a few wellknown rases, there Is al least an abundanceof earnest purpose nnd genuine emotionalthought whleh should ultimately wotk outfor Itself an ndeipule method of expression

Il is an a nlom that In any art the contentshould dictate the form Literary artist,composers, dramatists, nrchltecls, sculptors have been guided bv Ibis principleIf your Idea Is simple use a form that fitsII If II be cotnplei find the arrangementand pattern best suited lo Os expositionMake (he desiun organic, relate its partslo one nnothr, obtain Ihe proper balancebetween them

Hut, and this Is the crux of the matters one thinks of the pictures In till" Beandl-nsvla- n

exhibition, Ihe form must also beconceived and carried out In accord withthe Inherent qualities of the medium Inwhich It Is put An archil eel must conformto Ihe laws snd properties of his buildingmaterial, a sculptor wniklng In marbleIs bound lo regard th" character of Ihestone ns distinguished, for example, frombronre; he plans his work accordinglymusician thinks mre dlrecllv In termsof Hie materials of his art than do anv ofhis colleagues, but even he must lake goodheed how he puts Into Ihe concrete formof nn orchestral score the idess that havebeen surging through bis brain, for thereare limitations and capacities of everyInstrument which may not be lightly Ig-

nored When composers do Ignore thesefixed conditions thev may have fine Ideas,hut the public, docs not care greatly for theirmusic.

The experienced visitor who makes a pil-

grimage to this roup of some isn picturesand pieces of sculpture, now at the Ameri-can Art (Jalleries, will probably find thatthe pictures that glee him pleasure abovetlielr fellows are those In which the artists,besides having Ideas, have embodied themwith some regard for Ihe special iiuallliesof paint. In the entrance room, for

there are half a dozen Zorns, In everyone of which has been combined Interestingthought and skilful expression. Perhapsthe expression has been a little more Inter-esting here than Ihe thought itself; thatdoes not alter the general principle.

In the large gallery given to Norway, onthe next floor, six canvases by KdvardMunoh, totallv different from the suaveZorns in feeling nnd intent, and varyincalso from one another, testify again lo thenecessary relation between content andform; even so exaggerated a compositionns "Hummer Night," with Its group of pup-pet faced girls standing on a bridge, has a skyof translucent quality, with a horizon linequaintly and Ingeniously patterned by thesteep roofs of the houses This seems. Incomparison with much of the other work Inthe exhibition, like a concession to what themore radical would call art conventions, butIn reality they are immutable principles uponwhich the art of painting Is based. AndMunch Is willingly acknowledged as leaderof-th- e forward thought In Norway, he hasheld this place on the firing line for twentyyears. Hut without his acceptance of asufficient basis of convention, without hisreadiness, a good part of the time, to takeInto nccount the nature of paint as a me-dium of expression Munch might have hadonly a parocliisi reputation und InfluenceInstead of holding an International placeIn modern art.

Not that Munch always meets half wythe world's demand for a treatment ofpoint as a substance; heuses It with Irritating opacity In such a com-position as "in the Orchard," with lis ser-pentlike tree In the centre and lis girl andyouth standing under the branches. Con-fusion ami luck of clear resonance and defi-nition of the artist's Intent result from suchtreatment of the painted surface, yet thepicture Is not one to bo passed by, its powerto arrest the observer's attention resultsfrom the vigorous draw Ing of the two figurestn ordinary costume and of the unforgettabletree; its effect Is obtained In spite of theneedless handicap of sheer ugliness thathas been placed upon it hy the author'swayward manner.

Looking round these rooms one comesupon picture after picture In which valuableIdeas and sincere feelings have been mulctedof their chance to reach the observer ottheir proper voltage, simply because of theInability or neglect of their translators Intoterms of paint and canvas. In the entranceroom, for instance, there is a landscapeby the Swede Hesselhom, "My Country,"In which It Is qulto evident that the painterhas felt keenly the beauty and spaciousnessof this splendid outlook of descending hillslopes, with lakes In tho foreground, anddeeply Indented fjords In the far planesof the picture, under n sky touched withthe colors of dawn or sunset.

One can fully understand the note iffexultation In tho freedom and freshness ofthis sweeping prospect, hut as n picture,tho enormous canvas that bears this recordIs sorrowfully unbeautlftU. It is hlg beyondall need, Its color Is frigid, except nt thevery edge of the sky Tho modelling oftroea is conventionalized until they arerobbed of Individuality, even as a mass.There la a note of coarseness In the handlingnot a whit more essential o expiessthocharacter of the aspects of nature thatllesselbom wns striving to suggest thanclumsy forms of vorbal expression wouldbe In describing some scene of ruggednessand wide extension.

'I his landscape, by one of tho recognizednnd mature men In Scandinavian art, maybe taken as typical. 1'or most observersIt Is not unlikely that a good photographof this plctute would be pteferahlo as asource of artlstlo pleasure to the Immensecanvas Itself. Certainly this would bo trueof another monstrous composition, Iho"Kvetilng Hells" of Ulnar Nielsen, in whichall that the painter has told us about theImpressions he received fiom the wellstudied faces of peasants, standing In t licforeground or a vast and darkening lainl-sc-

Hut that makes It none the lessdifficult. It Is the engineer's problem ofbalancing round a fixed centre a set ofdivergent forces: the stronger the Indi-vidual forces, pulling every one In a differentdirection, tho more carefully must theirrespective lever arms be adjusted to bringabout either a balance or a desired move-ment In a given direction.

Hut It Is time to scan briefly some ofthe separate contributions to this Scandi-navian concourse, gathered together byPresident John A. flade of tho Amerlcnn-Scandlnnvt-

Society and Christian Ilrlntonfor exhibition In this city, Huffalo, Toledo.Chicago and Hoston. The Zorns tell theirown story; they are representative, andthey constitute one of tho chief attractionsof the show, though they are not unfamiliarIn matter or manner. The blond aspectsof Swedish landscape are slgnalllzed byrjaestad, the champion skater, who hasused the natural patterns of Ice and snowor moving water to serve as his themes.He has been moro successful In the two orthreo tapestries he has woven, out of homelyfabrics, than in tho pictures ho has paintedIn conveying the sparkle and the radianceof what he has seen, tho woven fsbrlo pro-

As one mounts ths stairway a portraitof the late Nells Poulson of this city, whoseendowment of tho American-Scandinavia- n

Foundation with over half a million dollarshas made this exhibition possible. Is met.a deserved tribute to a man of public spiritand racial pride.

The Munehs dominate the Norwegiangallery. They show positive mentalityand their treatment Is now admirable,as In "The Sick Child." or highly effective,as in the tall portrait of Hermann Bchllttaen,or perverse, as In "The Orchard," alreadynoted Hut of the man's force, of his origi-nality, there In no doubt whatever. Heis Interesting throughout. Henrik Lund,who accompanies the exhibition on ItsAmerican travels. Is well to the fore witha set of portraits and figure pieces. Ayoung Norwegian, Onsager, discloses amore cosmopolitan point of view thansome of his elders. His three canvasesare among the best In the collection.Another distinct note Is sung by the oddlypatterned puzzles of Arne Kavll, whichsuggest h little some aspects of Chinesepainting.

Of the" Danes Jens Ferdinand WillumsenIs easily the most conspicuous, witn magroup of Spanish subjects, ueciaeuiy in-

gratiating, and his enormous compositions of outdoor life or studio scenes. ThereIs imagination In "The Mother's Dream."with Us two vigorously ncsignea Doyisnfigures, seen within a sort of veil or cloudof sonorous color. Syberg sings the na-

tional note In "The Vlrst Day of Spring,"another needlessly large exposition of asubject. The cosmopolitan type Is foundngaln In HammershoJ's studies of Danishcastles and street scenes; there is a reminderhere ot the finished style of early Hollandpainters.

Highly characteristic. Is the group ofroynl Copenhagen porcelain; the figureof a cnt, with Us thick lullcurled discreetly In front of It, Is for niltho world like one of tho well known literal ymen of Ihe North.

Hy no mentis to be neglected, whateverelse In Ihe galleries one does or does notsee, are the onlrihutlons of Axel I'etters-sim- ,

Norway s sculptor-carve- r, who wasonce a Joiner, nnd now has de eloped astyle curlouslv piquant and amusing Inroughly carved and painted figures Inwood, making up groups mounted uponlittle platforms of Ihe same material. ThereIs delleliius humor in "At the Photog-rapher's," with Its agonized peasants posingbefore llie caiiicm. and there Is not onlyhumor but deep In "The Funeral."with its otiii sliiceio mourner, the bowedand shiken old woman, among the con- -
