That gifts should have conditions is rea sonable, but it would be better to go at a slow pace in founding a home for the arts in Toronto, asking for donations with objects well defined and application of the funds guaranteed. There- fore, to found an Art Museum in Toronto the Society of Artists believes that an association should be formed at the outset which would have the power and responsibility to outline a plan and carry it out, to receive bequests and grants and apply tht m to the piupose for which they were intended. This Art Museum should be undertaken on the principle o( Development gradual growth ; that is, development of the building and what it is to contain. The whole plan should be so prepared that a small portion could be built at first and added to from time to time ; the buildings to be fireproof, affording security to valuable works of art received as loans or be(iuests. Accommodation should be provided in the building for the School and School of Art and Design, as an integral part of the museum, and suitable galleries should be kept for current exhibitions. Museum .\s.sociation. Galleries. Maiiitrnaiire A ftind for maintenance could be provided by a citizens' honorary nu-nibersbip fee, carrying with it privileges of hbrary, Itciures and exhibitions, thus making a continual connection with those interested in art for the carrymg on of the government of the institution. The Art Societies and School would be inde pendent bodies, occupying a portion of the building as tenants. The foregoing suggestions are oflTered in the hope of bring ing together those who are interested in the founding of an Art Museum worthy of '1 oronto ; on the formation of an associ- ation of citizens, the shape it should take can then be deter mined. For the pur[)Ose of bringing forth additional suggestions and to show what has been and what is now being done, in cities ot the same size as Toronto and also in some of the greater cities, a list IS appended of art associations, museums, institutes, etc., their bequests and outlines of government.
