He says they beautiful specimens of pure
old Colonial architecture, the style that is really
American We may agree that they are pleasing. We
don't, perhaps, know why but think it is just be-
cause they old. 1t has occurred to us that
they not far inferior modern turreted and
otherwise highly embeshed with the
all sliced off and bay windows bullying from every
tage point Perhaps liked to look at the old house
best as it shone white and stately through the trees but
we supposed it was just little remnant of sentiment
and as such, of course, not to be encouraged.
But the fact remains that it taken the American
people nearly hundred years to grow up to the point
where they could ntelligenty appreciate the architec
tural worth of their inheritance The awakening is
not yet complete, but learning very fast, in
deed
An interesting example of how returning to the
standard foreathers and doing what we
preserve the fine traditions that theirs the
Annapolis postoice. Annapolis where the United States
naval academy is Colonial town. Almost every
building is in that style. Two three years ago
gress made appropriation for a posofce there.
The matter referred to the Office the supervising
architect treasury which designs builds all
Uncle Sans mail depots.
Now the supervising architect Mr. John Knox Taylor,
happens to be of discernment culture and good
taste. He that the only kind of postoce that
would be harmonious pleasing creditabe among all
those Colonial houses would be Of the Colonial
style At first Annapolis inclined to be disappointed
1--WE tired of Colonial" they said why can't you
give something upto-date in Queen Anne?"
So Mr.. Taylor explained and discussed and
with his Colonial plans built the charming post
office, photograph of which is shown this page.
Quite recently government official who interest
ed in the work of the supervising architects coffee and
heard that there a postof1ce Annapolis, re-
turned to Washington from visit there. He at
hunted up Mr.. Taylor and in gr1eved tone remarked
Say Taylor, thought you had just put up a new

you that? the architect pointing to
photograph the wall of his Office.
Certainly, that was one of them,' the
Mr.. Taylor laughed.
THAT is the highest compliment 1 have received in
the ten years have been in this office he said.

example of the other thing WASTE OF
Recently congress appro-
prated $14000000 for a
naval academy With this, under the governments
systematic and ridiculous of looking
ing operations the supervising architect had nothing
do 1t was therefore perhaps natural that the winning
designs passed by laymen evidently lacking in either
discernment TASTE should be buildings altogether
unAmerican in style and entirely incongruous with
either the purpose for which they intended the
acter of the location the traditions of
country The naval academy is in the STYLE
fine of its kind, and done by architect of note
(and French trainng) but it has the fatal fault of
being wholly unsuitable. And suitability is the first
principle of good architecture just it is the first prn
cipe OF successful career almost anything else in
life.
This of the Annapolis naval academy is being
much cited these days typical and fragrant example
of what President Roosevelt sought prevent when he
appointed the much discussed council of fine arts and
power all executive building and park

doing It, for congress is as jealous as spoiled chd
in the matter of its petty powers but he also voiced
the sentiment of vast majority of the people For it is
very evident that there great popular

need for federal reform and the establishment of stand
ards methods that will help the individual commu-
mites help themselves So great, in fact, is the sent
that both the house and senate being forced
consider bills intended by law what the president

fee of the treasury into bureau of fine arts with super
vision the buildings and parks of all departments
and advisory council composed of leading archi
tects, painters and scuptors:
even possible congress will by the
public demand to pass such measure though there
little doubt that they will avoid doing if they
least until after President Roosevelt goes out OF
Office which means till the next session.
Instances of the need of such bureau especially
numerous at the seat of the national government in
Washington and here again the wisdom of fore
fathers is apparent Those buildings that built in
the early part of the last century in the main dig
nied monuments the sincerity, the intelligence and
the good that time More than that they were
placed according to definite and all embracing group

and noble plan lost sight of entirely but such archec

the uses of the government the honor of national
heroes as will be of the great American jokes for
generations to come.
