into the city's history. 1t took tangible
form in 1910 when the National Institute
was organized. This institute, which was
Incorporated by Congress in 1912. con-
tinued its corporate existence for twenty
years, when its collections became the
property of the United States. Although
incorporated for the promotion of sci
ence," it collected a museum which en-
braCed a number of works of art, among
them portraits of Washington by Peale
the elder and Stuart, of Jefferson, Ad-
ans and Monroe by Stuart, of Jackson
by Sully, a portrait by Copley and
number of miscellaneous paintings by
foreign artists. The collection of the Ma
tional Institute was united with that of
the Smithsonian Institution in 1862
When the Smithsonian Institution was
established by act of Congress in 1916
the formation of a museum, an art gal
lery and library was specified as
among its objects. The development of
the nucleus was slow and received sad
check by fire. The objects saved Were
mostly loaned to the Corcoran Art Cal
lery and the Library of Congress. After
the erection of the National Museum
building the art collection grew at a
stronger rate. and in 1896 the loans to
the Corcoran Art Gallery and the Library
of Congress weresrecalled.
New life was given to the collection
when Harriet Lane Johnston died in 1903.
She bequeathed her notable art collection
Ito the National Gallery of Art when
one should be established by the gov
eminent. Unde a decision of the Su-
preme Court of The District of Columbia
the Smithsonian Institution took over
the Johnston collection in 1906. Soon
after this came the gift of the Freer col
lection-one of the finest collections in
the world. The donor, Charles l.. Freer
of Detroit. will provide a special building
for this collection, but 1t is said that the
site for this building has only been
tentatively agreed on, and the collection
will not be brought to Washington till
the completion of the building. The
Freer collection is unfinished and is be-
ing constantly increased by Mr.. F'reer.
Next came the donation to the National
Gallery of Art by William T. Evans of
New York of his collection representative
of contemporary American artists. This
collection has also been enlarged since
the gift was made.
Already there is need for two buildings
for the National Gallery-one for the
Freer collection and one for the Ma
tional Gallery outside of the Freer gift.
The agitation for these buildings, their
construction, completion and occupancy,
will call the attention of American art
lovers to the National Gallery of Art as
a place where they may permanently dis
pose of their art treasures to their own
deserved honor and the good of all the
people. Thus the National Gallery of
Art will continue to grow.

The address by Charles D. WaIcott,
secretary of the Smithsonian institution,
On THE Future OF the National Gallery
Of Art delivered before the American
Federation of Arts. was cheering and in
spring to those who are looking forward
% the time when Washington will be a
treasure house OF art comparable TO the
Did world capitals.
The United States has been so busy
with its physical and material develop
nent and Washington has been SO alb
sorhed In its evolution from dusty vil-
lage to marble capital that scant
thought had been given to the national
gallery. Yet, in spite of popular neglect.
and because Of the generosity. taste and
devotion OF q few men and women, a
national gallery has been growing up i'm
Washington. and its growth is such now
that 1t is attracting general notice.

Retirement of School Teachers

a bill for the retirement of school
teachers is to be pressed upon the atten-
ton of the present Congress. 1t was in
troduced in the Senate yesterday by Mr.
Gallnger. Favorable action Is hoped for
at the current session. The bill was pre-
pared by a special committee of the Dis
trict board of education, appointed for the
purpose of drafting a measure for the
protection of school teachers deserving
honorable retirement. The committee has
done its work faithfully. and the people
of the District wish that the bill may
speedily be enacted into law.
The subject of the retirement of teach
ers of the Washington public schools
is one that has had mature consideration.
There is no question as to the justice Of
the measure. 1t appeals tn business
sense as well sentiment. 1t is in
dorsed by the opinion of school au-
thorities and educators not connected
with the local school system. !. 1t is ia

Sugar and Consistency

Probably the House majority took the
best way out of its difficulty in the mat
ter of the special committee to investigate
the sugar trust. After admonishing Chair
man Henry of the rules committee not
to do SO again, it ratified his selections.
OF course Mr.. Henry had blundered.
That is to say, he had violated the new
profession of democratic faith as respects
committee assignments. He had been
guilty, and stood convicted, of Cannon
ism. In fact, he had gone Cannonism one
better. For whereas Mr.. Cannon had
named committees by authority, Mr..
Henry had named this committee without
authority. He had set up his judgment
for the Houses acceptance.
His selections were not open to criti-
cism on the score of fitness for the work.
They stood we'll with their fellows, and
will probably discharge their duty as sat
isfactorily as any committee selected by
special committee would have done.
Bat Mr. Henry had forgotten. or had
flouted, the new order of things. Hence
the hubbub
Always on his job. Mr.. Mann had his
fling, and must have enjoyed himself.
His proposition that the Speaker be au-
thorized to name committee which in
turn should name the investigating COM
mittee was rejected. The majority would
not accept at his hands such an enlarge
ment of the Speakers powers. But when
he nominated the Speaker for President
the majority, by loud applause, seconded
the motion.
And yet If Mr.. Clark reaches the presi-
dency he will have the naming of great
army of officials and special commission
ers. His friends in the House would be
glad to see him invested with that power,
while shying at investing him with power
enough in his present office to name
committee of fifteen to name a commit
tee. In principle. the House majority
yesterday strained at enat and swal-
lowed a camel.
But the democrats had a duty to per-
form in the face of an approaching ma
tional contest. Cannonism as an issue
is not yet exhausted. 1t will be heard of
again next year, when the democrats will
claim to have redeemed beyond question
that feature OF their platform of three
years ago and of last year. Speaker Clark,
they will assert, is at most presiding
officer. and does not dominate, as accord
ing to their representation Mr.. Cannon
did, the legislation of the House.
If the democrats carry the next House
we shall probably see a continuation of
the new order, whether the results are
entirely satisfactory or not. Another
committee on committees will try its
hand on keeping the channels of legisla-
ton as broad as possible. But II the re-
publicans return to power and control
that body. we may see the speakership
restored to the greater part Of its former
potency, and the incumbent exercise au-
thority which In the hands Of so many
Speakers, democrats and republicans
alike has wrought for good.

WOmen'S Trimmed Hats.
Third floor. G st.

Many neat and attractive styles
in both small and medium-slze
hats have recently been reduced
from 5000 to $500. These rep
resent one of the best values of
the season, and afford you a
chance to secure a serviceable
utility hat at low price
$500 each. Were 5000.
