the designer to consider at the same
time structure and form; they were
in his modus operandi inseparable as
cause and effect. Today that sequence
and continuity of idea have been so
largely impeded by complications in
cidental to industrial development in
the building trades, that our work can
no longer come entirely under the OBJ
servation of one master-mind, but
must be the composite of an organized
coordination of many widely varying
parts. AS an artistic effect, therefore,
modern building may be more indi-
vidual, but with correspondingly less
charm of handicraft. Especially is
this characteristic to be remarked in
contemporary churches in contrast to
the old work, in which a structure was
often conceived in the initial stage
by a great architect, partially built by
him and number of other artisan
artists, and left for future archi-
tectural development by succeeding
architect, and so on. Such a work,
when completed, can never, of course,
be individual, but it can and does
possess large architectural value.
1t exhibits the evolution of certain
principles of design over a consider
able period and shows a growth that
we call style, with all the attendant
charm of the minutest detail.
1T is in frame of mind such as it
has been attempted to induce by the
foregoing that the contemporary
church architecture should be regard
ed and evaluated. The two Catholic
Cathedrals, the photographs of which
are herein published, are noteworthy
achievements in church building for
any period; in extent and splendor
they surpass anything yet attempted
in ecclesiastical work in the United
States. The st. Paul Cathedral has
competitor for seniority, though hard
ly as to size and costliness of in
terror, in the Philadelphia Cathedral
of IS. Peter and Paul, designed by
Napoleon LIE Brun more than fifty
years ago. The other, the Pro-Cathe-
dral of st. Mary, is quite unlike any
other church that can be recalled to
mind. The two Minnesota churches
are identical in length, though that of
st. Paul has a greater breadth and
bulk; it's dome, also, is much the
longer and more pretentious of the
two"
For the Pro-Cathedral Of St. Mary
in Minneapolis, the conditions were
somewhat different (than for the
Cathedral in st. PauD. The grounds
are much larger in proportion to the
area needed for the building, the re-
quired seating capacity not quite so
large and the money available also
much less.
For these reasons it was deemed
best to work on different lines from
those of the Greek Cross plan of
the st. Paul Cathedral The great
churches of Aquitaine and Perigord
with their wide naves, we're inspected,
and it was found that modern design
on the same general lines would be
aestheically appropriate and we'll
adapted to the modern religious con-
ditions in the United States. Those
French churches, the finest examples
of which are the Cathedrals of Abb
and Cahors, give an impression of I'M
surpassed grandeur and simplicity"

Some time ago the American Archi-
tect of New York published the fol-
lowing article regarding the Cattle
drals of the Twin Cities:
"In estimating the accomplishments
of the modern architect in the realm
of church building it is not fair that
the same standard Of comparison
should be applied as in judging eccle-
siastical work of the earlier periods.
While the aesthetic needs of the
church have changed little since the
era of Cathedral building in the thir-
teenth and fourteenth centuries, secu-
lar methods of thought have under
gone complete revolution and the
effects of scientific discovery, inven-
tion and commercial progress have so
altered the artists attitude toward his
work that an entirely new standard of
Judgment must be applied to the
products of his brain to intelligently
place them in their relation to what
has gone before. The relation of the
Church to the State and to the in
dividual moreover, has been material
ly altered. It is during the temporal
supremacy of the Papacy that the
most brilliant architectural achieve
ments in religious work are recorded.
The Church was the paramount issue
of the day and its power and infu-
ence was the basic idea to be con-
veyed by the structure that housed it.
Everybody considered it the first duty
to be always at the command of the
Church, and the greatest artists of the
day were no exception to the rule,
devoting their time and energies to
it's glorification in manner alto
gether incomprehensible to us of the
twentieth century. Nor was their at
tention spasmodic and indirect, for
instances are recorded of the faithful
personal services of great architects,
sculptors and painters for years on
an ecclesiastical work the completion
of which they could never have hoped
to witness. Professor rockingham,
the archaeologist, has recently brought
to light some interesting facts in con-
nection with architectural procedure
in medieval church building, throw
ing considerable light on subject of
which little is recorded in our his
tories of architecture. His discovery
of a model, in an out-of the-way part
of the art museum of Rouen, of the
Church Of st. Maclou would go to
show, as he points out in an article
written several years ago, that the
technical procedure of building during
the period of religious zeal in
Europe was by no means so crude
and inefficient as has, by some author
tiles, been assumed
while the real problems of struc-
ture and decorative form in the
medieval churches we're no simpler
than are those Of today, the manner
of solving them, which would be pro-
hibitive to us, was simple by compari-
son with modern methods of effecting
economy in labor and material. It was
perfectly possible in the old work for
