Page 260 - "Or to put it more finely, we did it to prove you had souls at all."
I knew the concept of sould would pop up again. Miss Emily even refers back to Tommy's statement about art reveals a person's soul. What's interesting about this is that Hailsham no longer exists. Miss Emily says that the art measured how well they were doing their jobs. Now that Hailsham is gone, I believe that means that the teachers could not prove the existence of the childrens' souls. The students were all clones. Since they were not legitimate human beings to society, there souls had to be proven. The gallery was for showing off the art that could prove the souls' existence.
