The Best Hope Of an American School

The suggestion we have so frequent
ly offered is not a matter of personal
whim, but rests upon the unquestion-
able Importance OF the subject. Arohi-
tectnre is the most advanced Of all the
are in this country. Class lists are
slly, and nothing could be more mis-
leading than 70 try TO balance thus IN
,dividual in one Of the arts against that
individual in another, to weigh Saint
Gaudens, say, and his Lincoln monu-
ment, with McKim and the Pennsyl-
vania Station But it is legitimate to
point out that neither the painters nor
thc sculptors have played quite the
part that has OF late years been played
by tie architects in the aesthetic leav-
ening Of American life. There L.
rearer approach 20 q sane solidarity

Cbisel. They may not dwell together IT

It is a question Of landing job. but
they show as q body better response
TO the needs Of the time. To put into
a nutshell the claim that we would
make for them, we would say that tho
average of good buildings all over the
country is higher than the average IT.
the fields of painting and sculpture,
and that the development Of this state
Of affairs has been sIngularly rapid ana
consistent. Elements making for the
Improvement of our architecture are ir
the air. Town planning is all the
lage. Municipal laws relating 10 the
height of buildings are more in favor
than they were Art commissions have
increased influence. Where inspiration
is lacking, good taste is coming 20
serve more and more az a tolerably
safe substitute.
1t is good taste that at present
seems TO promise better than anything
else to fix firm the foundations OF an
American school, but before we pursue
this subject il is well TO pause on the
one exhibi; at the League which has q
truly personal significance. This is the
Temple Of the Scottish Rite, at Wash
ington, designed by John Russell Pope.
