Abstract
IT is gratifying to learn (from the December number of the Museums Journal) that the Carnegie Corporation has decided to grant substantial sums for the development of the museums of the Empire, following upon the Empire Survey of Museums, to which reference has been made in these notes. Already grants totalling 50,000 dollars have been made in Canada, and it has just been made known that similar sums have been set aside for South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. These will be administered by local committees. In addition to the 200,000 dollars thus earmarked, the Carnegie Corporation has also decided to appropriate 63,000 dollars to the Museums Association for a programme of museum development in Newfoundland, Southern Rhodesia and the Colonies.
