CONTROL OF SCIENCE AND ART.
THE PROPOSED LEGISLATION
(Per Press Association.)
WELLINGTON, Sept. 5. A special meeting of the New Zealand Institute was held to-day to discuss the Science and Art Bill, which provides for the constitution and control of the Dominion Art Gallery and for the publication of certain scientific works. The Bill provides that a Board of Science and Art shall consist of the Minister for Internal Affairs, the Director of Geological Surveys, the Director of the Dominion Museum and the President of the Board of Governors, an officer of the Department of Agriculture, the Government Printer, and two persons to be appointed by the Governor-in-i Council. The Board is to manage, control and direct the museum and art gallery and to have control of the transactions of the New Zealand Institute and the printing of them. Resolutions were passed that the Institute cannot agree to the proposal that the issue of their transactions and proceedings should come under the review of an outside board, and that in the fixing of the constitution of the Board of Science and Art the representation of the New Zealand Institute should be increased to four members.
