when the big houses in small towns and villages have been closed because the older people have died off and the younger members of the family have gravitated to the cjuea the need for such local museums has increased tenfold we can think of many valuable things lost to posterity because the inheritors were huddled in a city flat their possessions reduced per force to a minimum priceless docu ments have been burned along with spinning wheels and looms furniture examples of the art of early craftsmen have either been broken up or worse fate have gone into the house of some city millionaire
