so for the client
There has been recently some very
sharp criticism In Boston Of works
executed by two men Of established
reputation. and the fact that in these
cases. the criticism was ignorant and
Incompetent does not alter the fact
that there were some distinct defects
IN the works referred to which ought
to have been avoided. In one case
a large library was to be housed. and
when the building was complete II
was found that no provision had been
made for some 1000 folios which the
the ordinary shelving would not ac-
commodate. Perhaps this was the
fault Of the building committee or
OF the librarian. but IN the end the
blame for such things rests, fairly or
unfairly. = ne erenisssk q -

The Architect the Poorest Paid III All
Professions For the Great Risk He Takes

In the majority OF professions In
creased ability and wider reputation
mean largely increased fees for pro-
fessional service. In architecture
alone must one look for increased
earnings simply to commission on
a greater mass OF work. Even then
these increased earnings are largely
Offset by increased expenses The re-
suit is very detrimental to the high
est interests OF the profession. When
q man has, through years of expert
ence, gained a reputation for thor
ough work and work OF a high degree
OF artistic excellence "a reputation
which Is the result Of his individual
ability and the expression Of his indi-
viduaI ability and the expression OF
-his individual charactersticsl he finds
himself obliged to depend more and

bue with his own spirit.
This is an extremely dificult thing
TO DO. and thing necessarily slow Of
Accomplishment. II is more than like

Thoroughly caught the spirit OF his

work which truly rejects the mas
