Not only is more building done to-
day than ever before. but the general
problem Of building construction is
itself more complex and more difficult
now than 1t ever was. The reasons
for this are not far to seek. The rapid
advance Of the American people in
general prosperity. the growth Of in.
dividual fortunes. the evolution of new
structural materials and Of new me-
chanical and chemical processes Of
treatment, the invention Of new and
easy methods Of construction, the rise
OF the factory system. the drift of
population to the cities, the grouping
of families In apartment buildings
and tenements in crowded Industrial
centers, the increasing inslstence on
absolutely sanitary and fireproof con-
struction-all these have not only
brought about prodigious amount Of
new building. but have enormously
complicated the building problem. The
specializing Of occupations. too. has
had Its effect. In former days the

But nowadays every detail Of build.

Notwithstanding all this progress,
there has as yet been developed no
type Of building which can be recog.

truly and distinctively an American

the most hopeful signs bearing prom.
