The World and All
THE MUSEUM IDEA
By Charles r. DriseoIl

Americans are just beginning to realize that the
past is precious. The lives Of the American republic
and the Dominion that is her close ~neighbor have been
80 brief that it has not been possible, until recently.
for Americans to visualize the past as q heritage that
is Of great Importance to all Of US.
Now that we are realizing il, we are thinking a
great deal about the past. History and biography are
becoming vastly more important than they ever have
been before. And we are giving more attention 70
museums.
America, becoming conscious Of a glorious past, is
reaching out to preserve for future generations some
of the reminders of days that are gone. To me this
seems a wholesome trend. full Of inspiration.
Big museums are expensive. il operated upon q
strictly modern and efficient basis. A few million
dollars is a small legacy for the Metropolitan Museum
of Art, in New York. But I believe in community mu-
seums. l believe there is no town in America too small
to preserve some of the interesting evidences Of its
past.
The oldest museum in America. | am told. l. the
Charleston Is. O. Museum. | have spent many pleas
ant and profitable hours in it. But it isn't at all an
expensive institution. 1t is one sf the institutions in
which Charlestonians take great pride. But when peo-
pie have been through as many ups and downs as have
the citizens Of Charleston during the last three hun
dred years, they know right we'll that a thing needn't
be expensive in order TO be desirable.
In the Charleston Museum there is order and clean.

simplest kind, and have been built. | suspect, by mu-

but nearly all Of them have been donated BY Charles

II the Inhabitants of a city have historical sense
and if they appreciate their own traditions, they will
cooperate 10 make a public museum interesting and
attractive. They need no spend much money in order
70 collect and maintain a museum that will be inter
esting TO future generations, as well as to those who
are living now.
