Art.

No critic, self appointed to safeguard oppressed and undiscovered genius, nor those chosen young vessels themselves - can complain that the artist with a "tendency" has not been offered a fair chance at the exhibition of the National Academy of Design, open in New York City from March 14 to April 18. In groups and singly, on every hand, are examples of all the latest "movements" in art. And after a tour of the galleries one comes away with the memory of things one does not care for. The Academy hitherto has usually excluded works which have been seen before on its walls or in other public exhibitions in the city. This year, however, with a liberality greater than the Academy has been credited with possessing.
