PLANNING HOME IS BIG TASK
Many Problems Of Location and Con.
struction Must Be Solved Before
Excavations Are Started,

A location for a home should be q

ers should persistently and seriously
consider all Of the numerous features
entering into the situation and con-
struction of house which they them
selves are to occupy.
Very many problems Of location and
construction must be solved even be-
fore excavations for a home are start
ed. All members of the family which
is to be the first occupant Of the build
ing should be privileged, In fact, they
should be invited, to freely express
their ideas as to proper location and
construction, both as to type or archi-
lecture, and construction materials.
Every requisite Of those who are to
occupy the house, every possibility and
limitation should be carefully consid-
is chosen and before the plans are
drafted.
If part Of the family goes to business
each day it will be necessary to con-
struct the home near a railway sta
ton or trolley line. If there are chill
dren Of school age in the family it Is
Imperative for the young folks well
fare to select a building site in a COM
munity with good schools and to locate
the home within a reasonable distance
of the school or schools which the
children will attend. These and other
details should be given careful consid-
