The State Of Minnesota has been so
exceptional for several years past as
\ to grant to the State Art commission
an appropriation. This had gradually
Increased until last year ii amounted
TO $500. This sum seemed too much
or for some reason which appeared
good and adequate the Minnesota
Legislature this year declined to
Giv anything for the purpose on
the ground that il was a waste of
money. The work of the State Art
Commission. which was created by an
act OF the Legislature twelve years
B ago, has been practical and was
usually carried on under the auspices
Of the women's clubs in the state.
which were in the first place largely
responsible for the existence of the
committee.
The State Art Commission does not
propose to die without a struggle and
has founded an organ to give its side
Of the case to the world. This paper.
which has just been issued, Is called
patriotically the MiHncsotdH. II has
the following to say on the defeated
Appropriation to the cause of art:
THE Minnesota State Art Commits
sion is in the service of the people
Of Minnesota. The towns OF he State
may obtain loan exhibits of repre-
sentative modern art. The commits
sion circulates examples of carving,
lace, pottery and metals from its own
galleries. For the planning of town
parks and public buildings its advice
q be had on request free of charge.
The function of the commission is to
make life richer in Minnesota.
THE State Art Commission has
demonstrated the usefulness of its
function. 1t has sent exhibits of
pictures, sculpture. school exhibits.
drawings, industrial art. home in
dustries, home furnishings. to hun
dreds of Minnesota cities and towns.
1t has put experienced lecturers into
the field. II has marketed home in
dustries and for their products re-
6urned money to many Minnesota
women and men, II has helped cities
and towns, yes. villages, in the
problem of municipal beauty. city
betterment. Through this service il
has brought TO Minnesota a nation
wide publicity. II has put into the
hands Of 100 1000 Minnesotans within
a year thirty pans for better farm
houses of use and beauty. II has
rendered "A service which in other
countries is looked upon az an
economic asset. The recent I.egisla-
ture says this must stop; that all Of
this material which the people Of tn.
State have paid for shall be made un-
available for their use. II is possible
the Legislature was wrong. Its iudC-
ment may not bc the judgment of tho
people
In spite Of tn" d~iSCouraglng attitude
the Minnesota state Art Commission
proposes L 20 on with It's work. II
