dated September 30, 1954: Children's art exhibition

Mr. C. Subramaniam, Minister for Finance and Education, said in Madras on September 19 that school children stood to benefit greatly if they had some one who could go round visiting each school for an hour in a week and guide children in their endeavour to express themselves in art. If such a person was recommended, he would, on behalf of the Government, consider the question of engaging him for helping children to develop this faculty of art, he added, declaring open an exhibition of about 1,500 paintings by children up to the age of 16 received from over 44 countries by Shankar's Weekly for the International Children's Competition, 1954.

Dr. A. Lakshmanaswami Mudaliar, Vice-Chancellor, Madras University, who presided, said that in all the cartoons published in Shankar's Weekly, there was a motto and a moral and there had never been any shade of unworthy criticism of any person. Thanking Mr. Subramaniam for the offer, Mr. Shankar said that he was in their midst as a humble servant of the children. If he could make the Madras public interested in giving facilities to children for drawing pictures, he would have succeeded in his objective.
