VALUE OF THE ARCHITECT.
Public Not Generally Informed as to
His True Worth.

Public Not Generally Informed as to
His True Worth.
The real necessity for education in
teach the public what is good archi-
lecture so much as to bring them to q
closer appreciation of the function the
architect plays in public work. To
craftsman, less businesslike than a ma
son, not as practical as a carpenter,
but one who Increases the cost Of q
building from some unknown reason
and keeps the builders all guessing.
Any one who looks back over the
progress Of the profession In this coun-
try for the last quarter Of d century
can readily appreciate how modern a
thing the American architect is and
how little he Is understood. The nation
the cides, the individuals have thrown
opportunities at the profession with
both hands. The profession has never
been quite equal to it, but has made q
brave fight and is fighting still.
When we say that the public appre-
ciates architecture we do not mean
that the appreciation is knowing OF
an intelligent one. 1t simply likes 8
large, handsome piece of building con
struction, and, generally speaking, the
public that goes by on the street will
take kindly to the really good archl
tectural monuments.
There is, however, beyond n question
a great work to be done, and the sug
gestion to educate the public by means
of the creation of museums of architec
ture is one which deserves careful con
sideration and which if carried out
very generally would undoubtedly do q
great deal to bring about the desired
results.
1t is safe to say that the collection
| of architectural casts in the Metropoli
tan museum at New York Is studied
and admired more than any other one
| feature of that magnificent collection
and there ought to be similar collections
| in all of our large cities. Whether the
time is yet ripe for them to be indie
pendent collections is a question.
Even now nearly all of CUR muse
ums have a more or less general collec
| ton of architectural casts and If these
could be enlarged so as to be more
specific in their illustrations-to In
clude models of complete buildings oil

To help supply the demand In Amer
lea for good servants and also to help
Italian immigrants to good places, an
Italian banker Of New York City pro-
poses to train Italian women In model
houses before they leave home. He
plans to open in northern Italy practi-
cal schools of domestic service equipped
with American laundries, kitchens and
dining rooms, where girls may learn
free of charge the work that will be
required of them. Then they will come
to this country, where they will easily
secure places on the strength of their
practical education. 1t is thought that
persons of influence in both countries
will be ready to help this work, which
is philanthropic in the best sense in
that 1t promotes the efficiency of the
worker and insures good service to the
employer.
