Evolution in Park-B Building.

A change is coming to park affairs.
the ideals are taking a more compre-
hensive form, and better suited to the
needs of the people. AS the park mis-
sion is being better understood, parks
are no longer a rarity, but are COM
mon. While esthetical requirements
are greater, yet they are being better
adapted to everyday use.
1t is necessary that what we do
shall be symbolic Of some thought OF
feeling, that it shall be a physical ex
preston of some desire or purpose.
We are not only learning these things,
but also that the parks are more for
the people, and that the people who
rove over them are the most beautiful
feature a park can contain. and that
no park, 10 matter how barren and I'M
slightly it may be when empty. cannot
be devoid of utility and beauty when
filed with people enjoying themselves
