 Association for permission to form a Section of Art was granted. 



THE NEW Section of Art was formally organized in the Museum on March 

 10. Dr. John Quincy Adams was unanimously elected Chairman of the Sec- 

 tion, and the old Art Committee was reappointed as the Committee on Exhibits 

 of the Section of Arts, with Mr&T. L. Kennedy as chairman. A committee on 

 permanent organization was appointed, to report at the next meeting. After 

 the business was concluded Mrs. William G. Willcox read a paper on "Lowes- 

 toft ware." 



It is expected that the activities of this Section will have a wide range, and 

 that it will hold meetings at intervals, and will arrange for special lectures on 

 various art topics. Members of the Association interested are cordially invited 

 to enroll their names in the Section. No additional dues are required, but en- 

 rollment is necessary to insure the receipt of notices of meetings, etc. Enroll- 

 ment may be addressed to the Staten Island Association of Arts and Sciences, 

 Section of Art, Borough Hall. New Brighton. 



THE FINAL COURSE of Saturday talks in the Museum will begin March 

 20, when Dr. Hollick will speak on "How rocks are formed." This course is 

 intended for advanced pupils, such as those in the eighth grade and in the High 

 School. The second talk, March 27, will be on "Prehistoric animals and 

 plants," by Mr. Charles L. Pollard, and the third and last, April 3, on "The
