Many Works of Old Masters.

That the national gallery of art, sit

nrst consideration as the proper repos-
itory for the collection comes as a
natural sequence. to the idea of it's To-
cation here, and the idea is being dis
cussed throughout the National Ca pital
The collection is one of the richest in
the country in works by the old mas
ters, paintings which, even if Congress
would appropriate the money for pur-
chase, would not be purchaseable today.
IF it is possible to secure it for
Washington. the collection certainly
ought to come here" said DR.. Richard
A. Rice, of the division of prints of
the Congressional Library today LAS
for its situation, there seems to be no
alternatives it is a question of elm
ination. The National Gallery of Art is
not only just the place for it, but the
only place"
Because no building has as yet, been
erected bearing the name and housing
the collection, many persons here and
elsewhere are not aware that such a
gallery exists. The national art col
lections at present are housed in the
National Museum, under the custody of
the Smithsonian Institution. These
comprise paintings left by Harriet Lane
Johnston. chiefly by foreign painters,
and paintings by American artists pre-
sented to the nation by William T.

he is apparently attempting to de-
