PAINTINGS GIVEN
 TO THE LIBRARY
BIRMINGHAM ART CLUB IS TAKING STEPS TO AROUSE GREATER IN- TEREsT IN ART AND WILL PRE- SENT PICTURES ANNUALLY

On the freshly tinted walls of the new reading room of the Public Library there where hung, during the past week. five small. but beautiful. oil paintings-the work of Miss Alice Rumph and Miss Carrie Hill of Birmingham.
 These pictures are considered by experi- enced critics to be excellent work. It was remarked by a gentleman who has spent many years abroad that he did not know that work of that class was done in Birmingham. The city may well feel proud of Miss Hill and Miss Rumph, whose work is being generally commend ed. These young artists are just at the beginning of their career, and many will be disappointed if the future does not crown both with marked success. It seems that both of these young women spend the winter hard at work in their studios, teaching, and their summers in the mountains, seeking inspiration. That they find the inspiration which they seek is we'll attested by the beautiful little scenes which the Art club has made it possible for the public to enjoy.
 The Birmingham Art club has decided to purchase each year the best pictures in the annual art exhibit, and hang in the library as a nucleus for a perma- nent art collection. In making this de- cision the Art clubs motives are to arouse a greater interest in art in Bir- mingham, and to encourage home talent; and, realizing that literature and art always go hand-in-hand, they have chosen the library as the most suitable place for hanging their pictures.
 The Art club has taken a step in the right direction in cooperating with the public library, since both institutions are pledged to the higher culture of the Birmingham public. There can be no doubt but that in the near future a library building will be erected in this city; and in this a large hall will be devoted to permanent art exhibit. Then and not till then. may Birmingham feel that she Is a leading city in the south; for no city of any pretensons, either in Europe or America, is without a li- brary and an art gallery.
 Birmingham, England. though essential ly a manufacturing and mining center. contains one of the best libraries and art collections in England, outside of London.
 Some time ago the Art club gave to the library '"The Studio" the best art magazine published, and it has decided to give this institution also some valua- ble books on art.
