Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, in an address last month at a Bradford art exhibition, had some sensible things to say concerning the power and influence of collections of pictures: “It is not enough to have these pictures in our National Gallery in London. I want every municipality in this country to have a sufficient collection of these things that draw us away from the dust and strife and the abominable hatreds of this life, so that every man and woman and every child can appreciate them—can go to some retired place and sit in silence, and understand that there is a great presence brooding in the world—the unknown and perhaps the unknowable —the presence which nevertheless contributes to all that is permanent and all that is good in human character and effort.” The tide has turned in the coal fields of Great Britain. Inquiries by a London “Sunday News” expert indicate that the closing of pits has at last probably come to an end. Already in several cases pits have reopened, and exports are on the up grade. This is largely the work of coal scientists, but much remains to be done. Experts declare that the British people are on the eve of a scientific revolution in the coal industry. In a few years everything will be changed. Coal will no longer be transported to gas works many miles away for the extraction of gas and tar, and the remaining coke sent, perhaps, to the district it came from for the manufacture of steel. Everything possible will be done at the pithead. Gas and electricity will be made, all the possible by-products extracted and made use of, and even the coke sden tifically treated on the spot. Science, system and new organisation will everywhere rule.
