Tho unmise shorlifter.

''It is strange" said,a store detective,
why women shoplifters want to take
tie whole family along when they go
ont on thieving expedition. 1t is n
fact that many of them are accompa-
nied by children when caught stealing.
That seems short sighted policy. A
woman hampered by a child stands
twice the chance of being detected that
she does when operating minus such
an incumbrance. OF course ii can be
argued that she fares better in the long
run. inasmuch as she is more likely to
be dismissed with only reprimand
on account of the child. This is no
doubt true. for unless the offense is
very serious it takes a hard hearted
man to press charge against wom-
an accompanied by~children. But that
very line of reasoning makes the act
more reprehensible.
MY own theory is that most shop
filters do not go shipping with the
fixed intention of stealing. The mania
for taking something overcomes them
after they get in the store. and they
snatch the goods on IMPULSE. no mat

of a million dollars for new stomach.
This great multi-millionaire was too

his stomach. He allowed his dyspep-

Problems for the MANAGEMENT

A present one of the problems before the man
ageInent concerns the scope OF its policy There
are two classes which great museum may serve:
on the one hand, comparative y small one seeking
special expert instruction, and on the other, the
great mass OF the public, whose need combines gen
eral information and intelligent enjoyment. Col
lectons that amply sufficient for the latter may
easily be too scraPPy in detail and superficial or mar
row in scope for the expert student: while. on the
contrary what would satisfy his requirements
might offer dry spectacle to the general public
At present for example great deal of valuable
space occupied by the Cesnola collection of Cypran
pottery Possibly this long drawn out array of
specimens. many of them duplicated, may be of
value to experts but the average visitor even sup
posing he starts with some curiosity and examines
few examples will be likely to file past the remain
der with anguid if any interest
So two questions occur: Does the gam TO the tX-
pert Justify the loss to the public and. So could
the gain be secured at less cost OF exhibition space.
In one form and another this conflict of interests Is
pe1,etually confronting the management 1t enters
into the treatment of every subdivision OF exhibits:
has to be faced in the determination of general
policy. Shall the scope be primarily archaeological
or csthetic: attempt at historical completeness
wherein every period of a gwen subject is exhaust

the quality of beauty.

Dealing with Collectors

0N the other hand i'll these days, when the general
~ market has been thoroughly raked over, the
best source of opportunity comes from the private
collector. Now that the museum is known to be in a
position purchase works of art, collectors wishing
part from their treasures executors having the
disposition OF estates. will notify the museum. giving
II a chance to buy the collection in block of
selecting from it. II is usually from abroad that
such offers arrive and here comes IN the question of
the tariff. The latter allows the importation. free
of duty of all works of art that are bona hde the
property of public educational institutions. This
covers the OF pictures purchased IN Europe by
the museum or such may be presented to it by
donors living abroad 1t further extends the inn
muntv from duty to include the of col
lectionS individual works of art imported by the

itself responsible for the expectation OF what 1t does

of the Government for occasion may arise that the
owners will offer them 20 other institution.
or dispose of them to dealer, the latter. of course.
paying the duty.
Ii is such the latter, when the dealer
imports direct and afterward offers his to
museum that the tariff begins to work injury to the
institution: for another source of opportunity is
provided by the enterprise of the dealers They
their agents the world and bring their finds to
this country. II they have previously notified the
museum of such and such a work and obtained its
consent to a consignment on approval. presumably
such article would have the privilege of coming
under the museums bond. But such is not the
usual procedure The rule is for the dealer import
at his own risk of subsequently finding purchaser,
