ment and its adaptation, but shall also possess knowledge of 
the application of colors, metals and enamels. 
When the League presents an exhibition whose large in- 
terest is centered in the comparison of individual treatments 
as applied to the same form, it seems of utmost importance 
from an educational standpoint that the judges be of the 
highest class obtainable, since the criticisms will be of value 
and importance in proportion to the knowledge and standing 
of the judges. This action on the part of the first entertain- 
ing clubs in endeavoring to set a high standard of judgment is 
greatly appreciated by the League's Board. 
Gratifying interest has been expressed by the number of 
clubs which have already communicated to the Board their 
desire to entertain the exhibition. 
Letters have been received from art and from literary 
clubs, not members of the League, asking if other than League 
clubs can receive this exhibition. 
The Board has rendered a decision that any responsible 
club desiring the exhibition may receive it by paying $10 
into the League's treasury, assuming the packing expenses 
for re-shipment and paying receiving and dispatching express- 
age. The League will endeavor in all cases to arrange that 
the expressage be a nominal sum by having the outside points 
included in the League's natural route across the country. 
Applications should be made during the summer to Miss M. 
Helen E. Montfort, chairman of transportation, 307 Lenox 
avenue, New York. 
In the early fall the western schedule will be made up to 
the advantage of all clubs desiring to avail themselves of this 
opportunity to study representative mineral painting of 
America. 
From New York the League's exhibition goes to Bridge- 
port, Conn., for the third week in May, to Providence, R. I., 
for the fourth week in May, to Boston for the first week in 
June, and to Portland, Maine, for the second week in June, 
at which point it will be stored for the two summer months. 
The second week in September the China Decorators' Club of 
Augusta, Maine, will receive the exhibition, after which it 
will start on its journey to the western coast. 
The annual meeting of the League's Board is called for 
10 A. M., Thursday, May 8th, at the studio of Mrs. Vance- 
Phillips, 115 East 23d St. Visiting members of the League 
are invited to be present. 
L. Vance-Phillips, President.
