sons. One Is the improved hall will lend
itself better to floral decorations than 1t

growers who have gone to the Chicago
and Kansas City shows are coming to

There is no more interesting land on the

Spanish origin, and with more than traces

In the old architecture the Moorish
severity OF line and massiveness OF con-

Thus we have here material for a race

Something OF a national idealism, an out
pushing OF thought into the future
see here now Provincialism dies out and
nationalism grows, and the long peace
under the strong and progressive Diaz
administration has given the whole people
a chance TO grow mentally, 10 expand its
ideas. Modernity is the keynote OF the
Mexico of to-day, and for a century TO
come we may expect that the stress or
the national activity will be placed on prac-
teal things. There will be more railways,
more thought about technical education.
But with all this the art sense will con-
tinue to flourish The government most
wisely stimulates this, and aids poor young
men to study here and abroad No nation
worth Its salt afford to neglect this
side OF the popular thought and expression
Overattention to material things would
give Mexico a one-sided development
Happily, the government has not neglected
to provide means Of educating architects.
