Every year modern habits become
more unlovely and modern sensibilities
more blunted The preservation of what
is beautiful, per Sc ut the present time
is almost always ridiculed unless it can
be shown to be joined to some profit or
utility.
The characteristic passion of the hour
is greed-greed of possession, desire
of acquisition and passion for osten-
tation. Trade has become au octopus EN-
bracing the whole world The thirst
for gain engrosses all classes. Beauty,
unless it be n means of gain, is to this
temper useless, or worse than use
less, thing; it is regarded as stumbling
block and incumbrance. 1t is doubtful
if even the power of perceiving what is
beautiful has not in great measure left
large part of the population in all
countries. Modern cities would not be
what they are now had not the race to
great extent grown color blind and be.
come without the sense of proportion
Modern builders and modern engineers
would remain unoccupied were not the
generations which employ and enrich
them destitute of all artistic feelings =
