trained unit working for the progress
of the firm as well as for their own per-

would be in a modern gymnasium.

Reasons for Direct Selection.

The fine arts commission has present
ed reasons for direct selection of an ar
chitectural adviser in preference to the
competitive method. and that its own
functions should be confined to those Of
critical board of review and should
not be made to include, in effect. the Sc
lection Of designers either directly or
through the decision OF competitions.
THE commission should not act as
jury of selection for a number of rea-
sons" in its opinion. The reasons are
given, those pertinent to the present
situation being:
Because. as a Jury's decision, what
ever it may be. disappoints all but the
successful competitor. repeated de-
cisions by one and the same jury would,
in time, ALLEVIATE largo body Of peo-
pie. and II the jury were the commits
Sion Of fine arts. its usefulness would
be impaired.
Because constant Jury action of the
commission of fine arts might tend to
make competitors shape their work in
reference to what they thought was to
the individual liking of members of the
commission jury.

PICKS AN ARCHITECT
FOR THE NEW BRIDGE

An architect for the proposed bridge
over the Potomac river to replace the
Aqueduct bridge has been recommended
by Lieut.. Col. c. A F. Flagler, u. 8. A.
in charge of the United States engineer
ONCE of the District Of Columbia. His
choice he will not divulge. Col Flagler
expects that the selection will be made
without delay.
1t seems certain that there will be
no competition of architectural designs
for the new structure. The purpose
appears to be for the engineer office
of the District of Columbia 10 plan
the technical and structural features
of the viaduct with the aid of a
selected architect to determine the ar
tistic values.
Col Flagler, It is understood, prefers
to engage the services of a Washington
architect in planning the bridge. The
fine arts commission is on record in IA
vor of the direct selection Of an archi-
tect. and in the present instance has in
dicated a preference or, at most, several
alternative preferences.
