Even before the Centennial Exposition the shelves were cram- med to overflowing so that it was impossible to make a satisfactory display of specimens, As Congress makes an annual appropriation for the support of the museum it doub¥ess in- tends that the collections made under its au- splees shall be exhibited, and to effect this more room {S a necessity. The four floors of | the Annory building are packed with unopened | boxes; the basement of the Smithsonian ts in the saine condition. There is material to fill a Huilding five times as large as the present | one. The character of the collections tur- nishes an additional reason why they should hot be lidden away. exposed only to. fire, mould and rust. They include Centennial donations received from various states of | the Union, trom individuals and from foreign | exhibitors, besides nearly a thousand sepa- rate packages sent since the time of the expo- | sition.

Some aetion must be taken in the matter out of re- | peet to the foreign governments who have poured thelr treasures at our feet: and worthy disposition must be made of Uie gifts to cour- | teract the bad impression produced by our long | delay and neglect. ‘The material interest of the | United States as well as duty fs involved in the | decision of the question.

With aeces- sions from the myriad sources that have nlled the Smithsonian building with valuable ex- hibits at little or no expense for collection, the museum should become in time what the South Kensington museum, the British museum, and the Sehool of Mines combined are to Great Britain. The ends to be obtained are thus of | magnitude, the appropriation asked is smal’, and the plan of building suggested seems satis- | factory. As It appears that Congress wil | finally approve the measnre, it is desirable that | speedy action be taken. The employment which | the erection of the building would give is moré j needed now than it is likely to be in the futare, | and as prices are low the work could now be | accomplished at the smallest expens | egal Richt of Parents to the Studies of their Children | | Public School«.
