GOVERNOR-GENERAL
‘ TRIBUTE TO PRESS. \ ; (By Telegraph—Per Press Association.) . 1 WELLINGTON, Sept. 2, A tribute to the press of New Zealand for the standard of illustrations, was paid by the Governor-General in opening a special exhibition of photographs arranged by Wellington Camera Club. Photography in this country, said Lord, Bledisloe, was the medium of aid. While speaking of this he would like to congratulate the press of New Zealand on presenting to the public really valuable and artistic photographs. “I notice some reference in the press,” His Excellency said, “to the possibility of developing a Royal Academy of New Zealand art. I venture to hope that those who are interested in such development will not be in too great a hurry to carry it out. You must all realise that art is of slow growth in this country as in all new countries, where the first three or four generations have been intent on developing land. 1 hope the time will come when there will be a real scope for setting up a national gallery of art in New Zealand.”
