BILL PLANS TO
RAISE STANDARD
OF ARCHITECTS

With a view to raising the stand
ard OF qualifications for the prac-
tice of architecture in Michigan. Sen
ator Leonard verdier. of Grand Rap
ids. has introduced In the state SEN
ate bill providing for the registra-
tion Of all architects, following an
examination. and the outlook for Its
passage Is said to be good.
The bill Ia really an outgrowth
of a movement started by r. Cor.
don Pickell, a well-known Detroit
architect. who has given a great
deal OF time the past few months in
enlisting support for such meas
ure. II has the Endorsement OF the
University of Michigan. the Associ-
ated Builders Exchanges OF Michi-
gan, the Michigan chapter OF the
American Institute of Architects.
and the Architects Business asso-
citation of Michigan.
The main purpose OF the bill Is to
safeguard the public against incom-
petent architects by preventing per-
sons not qualified from holding
themselves out as competent archi.
.tects, Mr. Pickell explains. Con-
trary to an impression prevailing in
some quarters, II does not prevent
a man from drawing his own plans
for a house or any additions or al
terations he may wish to make. but,
OF course. he could not make a bust
ness of drawing plans for others in
competition with practicing archi-
tects without first passing an ex-
animation and paying his registra-
ton fee.
1T is a measure that directly con-
Germs the public welfare" said Mr..
Pickell. There is no profession
ons which the safety OF life and prop
erty and the public health and hap
piness depend more than, on the
architectural profession. And II the
state has deemed Il wise to estab-
lish certain standards of fitness In
