28 REPORTS OF COMMITTEES. 



REMARKS OF COMMITTEE. 



The Committee deem themselves especially fortunate in securing 

 the services of Mr. L. A. Elliot of Boston, dealer in and importer 

 of pictures, as the principal judge to decide on the merits of the 

 various specimens offered for competition. 



Mr. Elliot expressed himself exceedingly gratified at the general 

 excellence of the exhibits. 



The Committee are esi)ecially well pleased with the exhibit :>( 

 the schools, and feel that the people of this Association cannot too 

 highly estimate the efforts made in this direction by the public 

 schools — and regret that more si)ace was not allotted to their 

 especial exhibit. 



In the opinion of the Committee the growing interest in this 

 department demands larger accommodations and a much larger 

 approi)rialion, and would earnestly recommend that at least $50, 

 or $100 be set a^tart for this purpose.
