The course has since been increased. until at

invaluable. knowledge Of historical ornament is
to design what knowledge OF architecture is to
interior decorat ton To make original designs one
must know what has been done throughout the
ages. This is impossible without systematic study
OF the arts Of various countries and periods under
enlightened direction. Now. the who enters
