writer when he says : "It would be worth while for everyone 
in this country, who takes a genuine interest in handicrafts 
and who believes that in the cultivation of them lies the 
solution of many of our industrial difficulties, to give some 
serious thought to the establishment of schools formed 
somewhat on the plan of those maintained by the London 
County Council, England, and see whether the outcome 
would not justify the effort to establish handicrafts upon a 
broad and permanent foundation. 
"If the Government could be induced to extend its 
interest sufficiently to provide expert instructors, and in- 
spectors, such as are now maintained for the fostering of 
agriculture, forestry, mining, etc., we would have a work- 
ing basis sufficient to give handicrafts the start toward being 
a great national movement that in time would work great 
good in establishing better industrial conditions. Then per- 
haps for the greater encouragement of Craftsmen, our 
Museums would buy examples of their work, as Museums 
do in the older countries." 
To return to the exhibition, and the jewelry section, 
among the most creditable work was a silver belt buckle by 
Mr. Herbert Kelly, which unfortunately is not illustrated. 
It was very well made, and beautiful in line. Mr. B. B. 
Thresher had some interesting work, but most of his things 
seem more suitable for cabinet pieces than actual wear. 
Mr. Otto Doesinger had some attractive and well made 
scarf pins, Miss Ivins a gold ring beautifully carved, a 
copy from an Egyptian coin, some belt pins and cuff buttons 
also carved, and some unique silver rings adapted from the 
Greek, Roman, and Celtic. Miss Senseney had several well 
made copper buckles, big in feeling, without being barbaric. 
Mrs. H. Froehlich among other things a silver brooch 
good in line and color, and Miss Deming a carved, silver 
and turquoise ring, Miss Ella de Neergard a very quaint, 
silver brooch though it scarcely needed the pendants at- 
tached. 
Miss Peacock's necklace of platinum and diamonds 
was exquisite, and her gold bracelet set with lapis lazuli 
in its big simplicity appealed equally with the necklace. 
Each was carried out with sureness and consistency, show- 
ing thoughtful design and good workmanship. 
The work from the jewelry department of Pratt Insti- 
tute was well represented by a number of students. Among 
them was Mr. C. H. Johonnot, who sent a carved silver,
