COLORED PICTURES IN SCHOOLS Editor AVest Van News: I was present at the meeting of the Parent-Teacher Associa- tion on Tuesday evening, and saw the set of reproductions which it is proposed that the School Board should buy. I do not propose to discuss the policy of purchase. Although I am a little afraid of doing these things wholesale, and would rather pay 50 per cent. more for a couple of the best in a set of pictures than take the whole set. I should not, care to press the point too far, for history teaching require- ments must play a part in school collections. The point in which I am really interested is the coloring. Two copies of one picture--a colored and an uncolored copy--were held up for comparison. I did not care for the colored one; but I ivaited till I could make the comparison at close range, when the contrast was even more marked. My own observation of landscape reproductions during a number of years has led me to believe in delicacy much more than in color if we are to live with a picture. Because children have a natural and healthy re- lish for color, we are far too apt to infer that. so long as we give them striking colors, we cannot make a mistake. But the point ive overlook is that the children are to be in hourly contact with these pictures for a school gen- eration,--say three years. Are we so sure that these colors will not get on the nerves of even the less sensitive before the end of that time? Processes of color reproduc- tion have made great strides, but they are still very far from per- fection. There are certain pic- tures which are not greatly in- jured by the loss of delicacy that results from the mechanical col- oring; but I do not think that the set shoivn on Tuesday night belonged to that class. There frere two of the black and white reproductions whose charm would have been largely wiped out by coloring; and I could not see that more than one of the others would have borne it with- out injury. AVe cannot argue from the oil painting or the wat- er-color to the color-process,-- not at any rate till its crudoness and harshness have been more completely got rid of than is liable to be the case till after an- other fifty years of e~~eriment. I once had occasion to look at the set of war pictures in the Pauline Johnson school with rather more than average close- ness; and I could not resist the feeling that their coloring had been a marked injury to some of the best of them, though it may have helped the poorer ones. Yours truly, J. PORTER. F. lV. CAULFEILD DONATES $50 TO PLAYGROUND FUND CR ITIC IS ES BUILDING BY-LA%VS The Editor AVest Van News: Dear Sir, It is the opinion of the major ity of those actively engaged in business in AVest Vancouver, that the enforcement of the present Building By-law is of very great disadvantage to the progress of the hIunicipality. It has, without any doubt, been the cause of preventing many prospective buyers locat- ing in IVest Vancouver, owing to the building restrictions with which they must comply. Failing the revocation of this By-law in its entirety, why not let it apply to a certain area only say, from the waterfront to a block, or two, north of Marine Drive to 28th Street. where a divisional line could be taken, running from the waterfront to the Northerly line of the i~Iuni- cipality. Instances can be quoted where land, purchased before the pass- ing of the By-Law. where pur- chasers, after its passing, were unable to build (and comply with the regulations) owing to the cost. )Vere these restrictions remov- ed, either partially or in toto, the result would undoubtedly be of very great benefit to the Mun- icipality in a very short time. The district was pioneered and developed by the small holder, but the passing of the By-law in question checked this devel- opment very much to the dis- trict's great disadvantage, and for so long a time as this By-law remains on the statutes so long will development be retarded. Population (of the right sort of course) is ivhat is sadly need- ed, but when the average pros- pective purchaser is confronted with the imposition of the pres- ent building restrictions, he goes elsewhere. The present building by-law calls for a brick chimney to be built from the ground up, en- force this, eliminate the metal or any substitute chimney and allow a person to build what they can afford, then you will see our population and prosperity in- crease. Give the small holder the same consideration as the big fellow. In justice to all, Yours truly, F. J. T. AV. D. McFarland, deputy reg- istrar of voters in North Van- couver riding, reports that the voters lists for the coming elec- tion .have been completed, and there are 7603 names on the lists. This is an increase of 1729 as compared with the list of 1927 when 5874 voters were enrolled. SI ECIAL I ICTURE AT THEATRE N EXT lVE EK Ex-Councillor K. A. Ray has just received a donation of $50 towards the Children's Play- ground Fund from iAIr. F. lV. Caulfeild (through his agents. Richards, Akroyd 4 Gall), who is now residing in England. SON BORN TO blR. AND AIRS. BARRY )Ir. and )Irs. Roy Bang', who resided in EVest Vancouver until quite recently, are rejoicing in the birth of a son, who arrived last Tuesday at Grace Hospital. The young man tipped the scales at 8 lbs. Captain Barry, form- erly on the IVest Vancouver ferry staff, is noir deroting his whole time to musical work. Powerful in theme, spectacu- lar in action, and with one of the few truly all-star casts ever as- sembled for a motion picture, "Sorrell and Son," ivhich is play- ing at the Hollyburn Theatre next SIonday and Tuesday, bids fair to go down in screen his- tory as a rare combination of popular entertainment and art- istry. "Sorrell and Son," which is taken from IVarivick Deeping's best selling novel of the same title, is a Herbert Brenon pro- duction for United Artists, and critics agree that the director has surpassed even his previous outstanding successes such as "Peter Pan" and "Beau Geste."
