WOULD DRAW VISITORS
Prof. F. W. Hooper Makes Plea
for an Industrial Museum.

Al the monthly meeting Of the board of
trustees of the Brooklyn Institute, held lest
week in the trustees room at the institute.
Professor Franklin W. Hooper. director OF
the institute. made a strong plea for fur
ther educational facilities in this city. and
especially for the establishment OF an In
dustrial museum.
Professor Hooper said TIE museum should
bc built in Brooklyn. as Manhattan and
The Bronx were already well supplied with
museums, colleges, a geological park and a
botanical garden. which we're visited by
every one from all over the country who
came 70 New York, while Brooklyn had
little NJ that sort OF educational facilities 10
attract visitors. Moreover. Professor
Hooper said. Brooklyn was destined TO be-
come the largest borough In population, In
manufacturing and commerce.
According to the report Of the director Of
the institute greater New York spent far
less for higher education per capita than
mos. OF the other large cities In the United
States For instaI CO, New York spent per
capita FIVE eghths as much as Phiadel-
pna. one-half as much as Chicago and
two-ffths as much as Boston. In Brooklyn
only one-tenth as much per capita was
spent az in Philadelphia. ono-twelfth as
much as Chicago. and one-iodrteenth as
much az Boston. In order 10 be as well
provided with educational facilities as Bal
timore Brooklyn would have 10 spend
sl3. 900 900, and 10 equal Philadelphia, Chi
cdgo and Boston this borough would have
to spend at least tls, ,OoO, 900. $50 o00,0 900 and
SlS1. 900. 600, respectively.
An ideal Industrial museum should de-
plct each OF the manufacturing industries
carried on IN the city he said, besides IL
ustrating the arts ana crafts. trade and
commerce and the application Of such
sciences as chemistry. electricity and en-
gineering in the manner in which they in
nueuced the trade and prosperity OF the
city.
According 10 Professor Hooper there was
not a good Industrial museum In greater
New York The Metropolitan Museum, 10
he sure. contained some examples illustrat-
ing the arts and crafts, but in Germany
there were excellent examples or what a
true Industrial museum should be. A col
lection Of that kind should not contain any
thing not ~ vital interest TO the people OF
the city. either as a source Of instruction
to students or to people engaged in mand-
featuring and commerce.
The director OF the institute said the city
could well afford such q museum, as II was
already we'll supplied with the Metropolitan
Museum. the American Museum, the In
stltute Museum and the public libraries.
Professor Hooper said he thought the in
terest Of such a museum as he proposed
would easily exceed that Of any other mu-
scum I'm the city.
