Tho Cluiirnian (Councillor Soodall) who u I

Assuring ulw mooting that ho was nob attempting tc make capital out of this statement of his Wows, Councillor Sccdall procx'cdod to say that various sooioU&s under the schemo had sent representa' tiYcs to London to interview the officials *.n the subject. But tho officials in London were evidently much behind tKo times. They seemed to have forgotten tlio very czisionco of I^anca- shire witli its vast factory system and tho fact that unemployment had been prevalent to such an enormous degree since last Christmas, and tlioy said in effect, when urged, because of tho abnormality, to rnlst' all to 26 weeks, th a t any person who had been employed less than 13 weeks must bo of

•Tliey did nob realise tlie magnitude of suuh \Wdcsprcnd unemployment, and that mill.i had been shut dovTi, in very many cases,, ovei twelve montlis.

But lie hud seen tho question wh-ioh Mr. Davies, the local Member, was going to put, or had already put. in Parliament rolalive to tlii.R matter, and Sir Alfred Mond had intimatc<l his intention to try :iiid liriiig in fresh legislation.

tbo second of the series of Gilchrist lectures which w«is given in St. James’s School on Wednesday evening under the chairmanship of Atr. Tom Garnett, J .P . , O.A. “ Groat Pictures: Their appreciation and their in­ fluence,” was the subject of the lecture which was delivered by Mr. Hubert L. Well­ ington, wlio is the official lecturer a t tho National Gallery. Firs t seeking to sliow how tho stress of modem life drives an over-in­ creasing number of pwplo to seek relief and rofinoment in tho enjoyment of tlio a r t , ho*- dealt witli tho facilities afforded by publio galleries and tho cheapness and excellence of photograpliic reproductions which afford op­ portunities for every lover of the boaubiful to adorn tho walls of his homo. Ho com­ mented on the fact th a t fow people over loom to 800—pictoriolly. Tho tendency is to look a t tho world from tho “ practical ” point of view, recognising and labelling things as dangerous or harmless, useful to their in- ioroslft or sjxirt. Tho delight of the a r t is t contred in ilie shape, colour and inovomcnt of things, and ho discovered beauty and significance in them quite apart from their “ uses.” In consequence, he was often thouglit to be “ impractical,” whereas his altitude was tho cfiscnco of his “ practice,” which is making pictures. The lecturer gavo many suggo«tions on how to look a t pictures, and emphasised tho fact th a t tho finest work is creative rather than imitative. ------------------------------------------------------
