Roosevelt MentiOns Need.

In his message to Congress, Deem
Der 3, 1907. President Roosevelt called
attention to the need for a national
gallery of art. The President said:
There should be a national gallery
OF art established in the Capital City
OF this country. This is important

Plans are under way to make Wash

Iery of Art. Government fostered. and
the finest in the new world.
The Freer building OF the Smith
sonian Institution designed to hold
exhibits Of the Oriental, will be fin
ished by September. according to an
announcement of DR.. Charles ID. Wal
colt, secretary of the institution
Work on the building stopped during
the war. but has been resumed.
This building is being given to the
National Art Museum by Charles L.
Freer. Of Detroit. Mr.. Freer has
been an ardent collector of Oriental
art masterpieces for more than TWEEN
ty-five years. and the Freer building
is to be devoted to Oriental art MI
Freer's collection OF 600 pieces has
already been decided to the gallery,
and will be housed in the new build
ing when finished.
DR.. walcott said the fine collec-
lions Of American and European art
owned by the gallery will have to re-
main in the Old National Museum
since the Freer building was do
mated specifically for the housing OF
Oriental art specimens. The Old Ma
tional Museum, intended for histori-
cal exhibits, is greatly crowded but
DR.. walcott hopes additional space
will be granted it before long.
Bill For Relief.
A bill introduced in the House few
days ago by Representative FREDERICK
D. Hicks, of New York. promises TO
give the needed relief
This bill provides for the erection
l. arfa q
a cost not to exceed 100000. in
memory Of Theodore Roosevelt. The
memorial building is to be erected,
and equipped by the re-
gents of the Smithsonian Institution.
The location proposed in the bill is
on the north side OF the Mall, be-
tween Seventh and Tenth streets
northwest. The bill was referred to
the Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds and probably will come
up again in the fall.
Space Question Serious.
The question OF space for the Ma
tional Gallery OF Art is a pressing
one, DR.. walcott declared. Already
the institution has suffered because
private collectors are not willing to
give their collections to ii until the
regents can assure them adequate
housing facilities. Several collections
have already gone to the Metropoli-
tan Museum of Art in New York for
this reason.
The initiation OF the art gallery
movement in Washington is credited
to an organization called the National
Institute, which was incorporated in
1912 by act Of Congress. Due to the
activities OF this organization. nu-
merous paintings were collected.
many OF which are now to be found
on the walls OF the National Gallery.
These collections were placed in the
United States Patent Office, with the
provision that they become the prop
erty of the United States upon the
of the society. The civil
war brought this about in 1861. Much
Of the collection was destroyed by
FIRE which burned out the principal
halls OF the institution during the
war.
