In May, 1920. when the Metropoli-

said. in part:
How great the achievement of

intellectual Importance. And far
different and more important the
development of the love of beauty
of which art is a manifestation, the
development of it not as a luxury
but as an integral part OF life.
The knowledge of art is common
But the love of art that brings real
happiness and inspiration 10 the

great emotion. The love of

The art museums today depend, as
do all manner Of institutions, upon
publicity, some of which is helpful
and legitimate, but much of which is
decidedly to the contrary. The press
is overfed with publicity of the latter
type. The ears as we'll as the eyes
of the public are startled, but no.

toward putting art on low level.

The more knowledge one has of

a more intelligent comprehension Of
the quality and significance of art

itself through the eye of the be-

composition ones own. it is necessary
to listen and listen. If work is Of
sufficient merit. such looking and
listening fully repays; and the more
familiar it becomes, the greater is
the pleasure.
The tendency today. however, is to
want always something new: hence,
many of the paintings beloved of
museum visitors in the past have
been relegated to the cellars. Some
times, they belong there, not having
stood the test of time: but often
enough, it is only temporary shift

Al meeting held in New York in
November, 1869. for the purpose of
founding a great museum Of art (the
Metropolitan Museum of Art in that
city,, various reasons were set forth
juStifying such action Among these
were the pleasure and profit that
such an institution would bring both
to the public at large and to artists.
All the speakerS-men Of affairs
and distinction-were sincerely of
the belief that love of art was in

form of a yearning for beauty, and

tact. In other words. that the

This is equally as misleading as
is the award of prizes by juries of
artists often OF high standing. The
fact is that the action of any COM
mlttee or jury is almost invaria bly,
based on compromise. As DIN
DoWs of this city has pointed out,
the better plan is TO put responsible

individual. The result will then
reflect his taste and judgment, which

superior interest OF collections
privately assembled and owned.
Truth and Beauty Are Needed.
After all, what is wanted of a
museum is that which Quickens
the emotions and induces broader
vision. The greatest complaint. it
is said. that an artist can receive
is to be told by some one looking at
his painting. Very true, but I never
thought of it before What the
world needs today are truth and

Masterpieces Are Popular.
II is true, however. that the at
titude of the public toward the art
museum has changed in recent years,
the tempo of life being speeded up
and opportunities for quiet con-
temptation lessened. There also has
been change in the kind of arr
offered for contemplation. No one
can be expected to find tranquil
delight in gazing at length at paint
ings of slums. gas tanks. devastated
farm lands, and vulgar, slovenly
people.
When the Italian masterpieces

/ Worlds Fair were exhibited in New
York and Chicago before being re-
turned to Italy, the attendance was
so great that it was almost impos-
sible to see the pictures for the
people. During 54 days in Chicago,
the attendance at this exhibition
was 265 ,679, and during II days in
New York, 290.888. In the latter
city the exhibition was held in the
