The list shows a total ot seventy-six medals and thirty.nine honorable men tioDP, making 115 recompenses in all. This is the largest number awarded to any foreign nation, and the awards in the utner classes of Group II, are also large in proportion to the number ot works exhibited in the United States section. In sculpture three medals of honor were awarded Augustus St. Gau dens, Daniel 0. Fiench and Fiederick MacMoDnies being the recipients. If the absence in the list above of the names of some well-kcown painters who have pictures at Paris be noted, it should be remembered that artiste were not eligible for awards lower than they had received in previous Paris Exposi tions. Several Franco-Americans, also, after the award of gold medals was an nounced, informed the jury that they would not accept silver or bronze med als and the story in Paris was that in fluences were brought to bear on the French members of the jur to prevent the award of silver medals to American artists residing in the United States, who were on the slate for that distinc tion. The entire list of awards is to be reviewed by the superior jury, but none will be taken away. Jt is possible that a few additions may be made to the bronze medals and honorable mentions.

The popular propaganda of Christian Social Ethics has always been officially recognized as the legitimate field-work of the sociological department in the Chicago Theological Seminary, and as a principal part of regular settlement ser vice. So far as the prior obligations and settlement administration allow, such of the many invitations to speak are responded to as seem to offer op portunity for the widest or most needed service, irrespective of the size of the community and without regard to "terms," altho but a small proportion of the opportunities thus presented can be accepted.
