To Encourage Good Architecture.

To Encourage Good Architecture.
The cities Of st. Petersburg and Par.
is have an interesting device for en-
couraging good architecture. Build.
ings which are so art.stically con-
structed that they are regarded as
ornaments of the city are exempted
from taxation for a period of years.
The profession of architect has a
much higher standing in Paris than
in American cities. A high standard
OF qualification for the profession is
e~sorced by the, voluntary associations
which control admission to it's ranks.
The Paris architect signs his building
in conspicuous place on the front,
as an artist does his painting. Paris
and other Continental cities could
teach us much in regard to the pro-
motion Of artistic building.-Boston
