BRANDEIS STORES A
25c
Benders et tho local press have had
various opportunities In the Inst four
yesrs to view Omaha's possible art fu
ture from the standpoint of the enthus
iast, the orltlr, the reviewer, the stnt
tlstlcan, the musician, the artist and the
ldcallt. These writers have considered
available lesouroes for mnlntennnce, eilu
rntlonal opportunity, civic Improvement,
commeninl advancement and community
uplift, resulting from the posatbto ac
quisition of a Fine Arts home.
In the meantime public opinion has
been manifesting Itself. There nre diverse
opinions regarding the location of nn
art meseum. Borne persons doubt the
wisdom of opening tho public purso while
a larger commercial enterprise la under
way. The ultra conxervntlve element has
also been heard from: the venturesome
cltliens are not wnnttng. A few are In
different, but nil seem to want Omaha
to have n fine nrts home.
Material prosperity, that sure sign of
an epidemic In nrt Is with us. A recent
exnmple of this was the sale this week,
nt public auction, of n Fnrnam and Twenty-fourth
street property: tho numerous
bidders for this property, representing
ns they did. not only the wealth 6f
Omaha, but the Judgment of some of the
very best professional, retired and active
business mn Is nn assurance, of Omaha's
future material prosperity.
In' last Sunday's Bee nn nrtlcle ap
peared, stating "Over 8,000 ncres of vacant
lots, exclusive of parks, lie within the
city limits of Omaha. The figures were
furnished by real estate men. The ar
ticle written from these facts cannot be
viewed from a material and commercial
side only. Why does thin neglected waste
space distress the city? Is It because
property Is not changing hands In
Omaha? Is It because material pros
perity Is lacking? Is It not a fact that
material prosperity has made It possible
for Omaha citizens to turn their atten
tion to the nesthetlo and to long for
the beautiful In clvle Ihipnrvement.
Four yenra ago one of our leading
architects made nn excellent plea through
the press for reclaiming the waste ra
vines, resulting from the sloping of the
streets and the low, unfilled lots border
ing on boulevards, and tho suggested ex
tension of boulevards,
I have not forgotten the mental pic
tures I received then, of tho beautiful
parking, flowers, shrubbery nnd trees
which would result from a culmination of
mutual, civic, art Interest In Omaha. Kev
cral real estate men have shown us what
can be done by assisting the natural beau
ties of Omaha's surroundings, and we
owe these enterprising, public spirited
men a debt of gratitude, When more of
our good citizens follow their example,
more beauty for Omaha will result. In
the language of Mr. Thompson, who
spoko recently before tho Board of Trade
of Wllllamsport, Pa., "Whereas, art costs
money It returns dividends In the form
of better citizens."
Art Interest Is and has been seeking a
sultablo outlet In Omnha. Material pros
perity has made It possible for many of
our citizens to seek to satisfy the
ncsthetlc senre. Pome buy good pictures,
some bring good lectures to Omaha: some
provide better music: still others donate
freely to causes of social nnd moral up
lift. If any view the acta of these citi
zens from the stnndpolnt of business en
terprise, "looked at even from a business
standpoint, It pnys to support art."
If wo are ready from a material stand
point and from a standpoint of public
opinion for a fine art home for the cltl
ens of Omaha, how can It be made a
forco In the community thnt will bring
large dividends In better Citizenship,
Itemember the 12,000 school children of
Omahn. It Is not enough to provide soc'al
recreation for 13.000 school ohlldren. They
should have serious consideration. Right
now, Omnha school children need yearly,
or semi-yearly exhibitions of their art
efforts, where nil the children of the city
may profit by examplo and competition.
Youth needs Inspiration to spur II to
directed activity. If we want parents In
terested, wo should get the children In
terested. In a recent magazine, Charles William
lSllot, president emeritus of Harvard
university, lit speaking of the deficiency
of his boyhood education, says: "'Till I
! M years old I had no practice In
drawing, either meehanlcnl or free hand
a serious loss," Today the children of
Boston, who havo reached the ago of 10
years, may hear at the Museum of Arts,
from a person trained In the art, stories
of Oreek heroes and heroines, Illustrated
oy lantern slides. Besllzlng the factor of
the story In children's education, why
might we not help some of the 12,000
school children here. What parent In
Omaha, what public spirited cltlien would
not give freely to beautify the surround
ing of Omaha and to supper an art home,
If he believed the results emanating
therefrom would raise the standard of
citizenship? "Give the people an abund
ance of fine art and you help save them
from half tho perils of civilization." says
Bernard Shaw.
We owe no philanthropist, no artist, no
society In Omaha what we owe Omaha's
children. Tho children will take up
lOmalia's aesthetic material and commer
cial life where he leave It.
We have tho wealth, the sentiment, the
artists, the musicians, the teachers and
tin public spirited citizens, and last, but
not least, we have the children. Shall we
make Omaha "A locality, a shrine to
which pilgrims will come long after the
makers of fortunes havo been fqrgottcn
and their wealth divided and wasted."
