FOR UNIFORMITY In BUILDING
Wise Regulations Would Add I'm
mensely to General Appearance
of the Town.

The time is coming when restric-
lions on property will be even more
rigid than at persent, but this will be
much to the advantage of a commu-
nifty. 1t is not sufficient merely to
specify the class or cost of a building
that may be erected on. any one lot,
O to designate how far away from
the street line it must be set.
Restrictions should also govern the
height and architecture Of the build
ings on each street. Then it would
be impossible to build a towering resi-
dence Of elephantine proportions be-
side of a beautiful little bungalow,
and 1t would be impossible to build a
house of strictly Dutch architecture.
Our leading architects have developed
many pleasing styles Of architecture,
but their whole work is frequently
spoiled through the construction of a
home on a street where the prevail
Ing architecture is entirely different.
There + streets in the newer Sec
tons Of the city where many Of the
houses in a row are Of the same archi-
lecture, though slightly varied in con-
struction. This is the most satisfac-
tory plan, but of course cannot be fol-
lowed out to the letter when a number
Of different architects and builders are
working on houses on the same street.

IDEAL GARDEN FOR SCHOOL
Be Done by Systematic Planning
and Proper Care.

A school in a garden! That is the
ideal of many ar educator-a place
for children which in some slight de-
gree shall give them q chance to see
and enjoy natural beauty and to de-
velOp their faculties through the exer-
else Of perceptions amid beau
tiful surroundings. 1t is an ideal that
toe often seems far from realization,
vet here and there it may be found.
On a recent trip through southern
cities 1 ran across one such school
which is Of interest not only for what
it is but for the way it came into
existence. For it is a striking ex-
ample Of what may be done by one
devoted woman, with loyal friends,
working for an immediate and prac-
teal end.
It is unfortunate that too many
school authorities find the recognized
needs Of the schools so pressing and
so difficult to get that they fail to see
the necessity Of providing the gardens
and grounds that give the schools an
effective environment. AS in so many

alive In this has to be taken by out
side individuals or organizations who
supplement the efforts of principals
and teachers by buying additional land
or providing garden facilities for land
already acquired. An admirable ex-
ample of what car be done in this re-
spect is found in the Albert S. Bran
deis school Of Louisville. This is a
city grammar school with ample play
ground space, along n end of which
there runs a lovely garden with small
greenhouse, an attractive shelter
house and tool shed, and a permanent
planting Of roses and other Towering
shrubs as we'll as of small fruits and
perennial flowers. There are spaces
set aside for children's gardens and
for little community tree gardens
