the conception of composition greatly matured, thus in-
creasing the artists' potential power three-fold.
Remember what Michel Angelo did with the technical
equipment the fifteenth century Florentines handed him
on a silver platter, as it were. See how he rose above
petty jealousies and bickerings and revealed the funda-
mental elements in the conceptions of his day. Have we
those who can see the elemental and eternal in our present
day swirl and use the great new technique to give it
life and understanding to us?
The best art museums of this country in presenting to
our men and women and to our boys and girls the beau-
tiful things of the past are helping us to appreciate the
quality in beauty. Many of them are directly raising
the standards of local production by privileges of exhibi-
tion and encouragement of excellence in their own living
artists. These museums help all to realize that art is
allied to the finest in man. They are preparing that very
important body of art appreciators which will be ready
for the great American artists who can express the deeper
things of human life in a powerful and yet modern man-
ner-our own manner!-the language of our age!!

IN MEMORIAM
In the death on November 11th of Mrs. Elma Lammers Weich-
sel, the wife of Christian C. Weichsel, the Dallas Art Association
mourns the loss of one of its most active members and directors.
She was born in St. Louis, Mo., October 6, 1875, but had lived
in Dallas for many years-her family being one of the oldest here.
Always interested in the Arts, Mrs. Weichsel early allied her-
self with those groups that fostered their development here, be-
lieving that the cultural growth of a community should keep pace
with its material prosperity. She was one of the original trustees
appointed by Mrs. S. I. Munger to serve on the Munger Fund
Committee for the purchase of paintings for the Dallas Public Art
Gallery; was a valued member of the Highland Park Art Society
and, with Mr. Weichsel, patron of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra.
The sympathy of her many friends goes out to the bereaved
family.
EDWARD G. EISENLOHR.
