cation that the nation is on the

U. S. ARCHITECTURE
CALLED AN INFANT,
HISTORY INDICATES
First School Founded in
America Scarcely IS
Years Ago.

1t is doubtless unknown that scarce
ly thirty-five years have passed since
the first school was founded in Amer
lean for the study OF architecture.
But one generation has grown up of
architects trained in America to their
profession. We may need to go a
little further into details to realize
the possibilities that lie i'm the future
in the architecture of our country.
1t is clearly at its beginning.
This brings us to the discussion
of style in architecture and gives us
briefly surveyed background upon
which to understand the reason for
the popular misinterpretation of style
In architecture as a means of decora-
tion or establishment Of mass, and
even one which presumes that same
mass may be applied to tie decora-
tive motifs characteristic Of one or
another style. and that the result
would then be a work in that style,
which work is absurd.
The qualities OF architectural style
are caracterized by three marked
and easily grouped periods: First, a
quality OF vigor characteristic or FOR
native and creative periods, second.
q quality OF refinement and exquisite
beauty characteristic of developed
periods; third. license, either that
OF riot or stupid scholasticism, char,
acteristic oI decadent periods.
Style in architecture In its origin
Is the unconscious building into stone
OF these deeper qualities Of people. 1t
represents the Interpretation OF the
full meaning and appreciation of
beauty as applied to the full deyel-
opment and functions attendant to
the character Of building required by
their civilization. Consequently, ma
tional style was for all nations prior
TO the Renaissance. unique national
possessions expressing the character
Of the people OF a nation. Therefore,
the historic architecture of Greece,
Rome Byzantium. the Romanesque
Italy and France. Norman England,
ETC.. were exquisite writings in stone
of certain fundamental and inspiring
attributes of those nations. For then
they represented growth from mea-
gerness to largeness and to glory,
striving for an ultimate beauty, which
is finally embraced for a period, but
only for a period, and again disap-
pears. For them style is never a
fancy or a fashion: 1t is their phiIos-
ophy for building for eternity their
ultimate belief OF the embodiment OF

TROUBLED TENANT
SHOULD FIND COST
Average Man Does Not Take
Time to Probe
Rents.

Any tenant who is dissatisfied
with the amount of rent he is pay
ing should investigate the price of
lots and cost of building (even
though he has not the price,.
There would be more satisfied ten
ants If this were done. This ap-
plies to the average business
house also. II a man cannot afford
to build for his home or business
he is willing TO pay someone a fair
rate of interest to do il for him,
but the average tenant will not
take the trouble to really investi-
gate. Some tenants are not pay
ing 5 per cent net for fine build
ings, but still are laboring under
the delusion that they are working
for the landlord. This does not
apply to fancy prices. but reason
able market values.
Rents and Living Expense.
Would a farmer sell produce in
a good market for less than going
prices If he got free land rent?
OF course not. He would pocket
that much additional profit. Would
a merchant sell his goods under the
market If he got free rent? No,
he would pocket that much addi-
tional profit and let the owner pay
the taxes and repairs. Rent is one
of the large items of expense in
the family budget and the business
budget, but how many stop to
figure the amount of money in
vested in the building they occupy?
You might call rent a commodity
as we must all have places in
which to live or to carry on ouI
business. We must build it or get
someone else to build it for US. II
we build it the money invested
must earn something, so we charg,
up the interest and taxes tt our.
selves. II we rent it, we paw tc
the other fellow. We have to have
clothes, we pay someone a proit
to make them for us. we pay a
profit to someone for our food. All
articles are sold at a profit during
good or bad times. high or low
prices.
When there are vacant buildings
in city it is often said II Is bet,
The Washington herald., 1922-04-30

ter to have them occupied at any
price than to have them vacant.
We get the condition every few
years when there are not enough
people in the community to fill the
vacant space. At such a time all
the vacancies could not be filed at
free rent. Some people say they
like to see vacancies as they get
cheap rent. During those times
wages are cheap and business in
general Is poor. The city we'll
rented Is the prosperous city. more
building. more work in every line.
The average building represents
the same amount of money In
vested as the average business.
The merchant turns his investment
into profit, but sometimes thinks
the owner is not entitled to the
same return.

Great care should be exercised in

the location Of the house with respect
to exposures. highways and the type
OF house in keeping with the plot.

sirable on high plot.
