LIFE AND BEAUTY
BY H. Addington Bruce

ATELY l stood on a hilltop and looked
down into little valley that | well
IL remembered a valley of verdant open
spaces dotted here and there with garden plots
and neatly kept suburban homes. A beautiful
valley it used to be, good to look upon at any
time Of the year.
But now | saw no open spaces. Gone were
the garden plots, gone the trees, and the
suburban homes had given place to compact
mass of two-famiIy and three-family dwellings.
I found myself gazing into versatile sea of
gray slate roofs, threaded by shadelesS streets
Of dead gray paving
The valley, in the language Of my real
estate friends, had been "deyeloped." The
developing" alas, had been at the cost Of its
former beauty. There was nothing in it now
to charm the eye and stimulate the mind.
All over the land similar transformations
for the worse are taking place, as villages
grow into towns, towns into cities, and cities
into hulking monstrosities Of wood and brick
and stone, of noise and smoke and CRIME.
With the increasing urge Of industrialsm it
is perhaps inevitable that PEOPLE shall live
more and more numerously together. But is
it inevitable that this shall involve as it now
involves, not simply destruction of beauty
but an exciting of ugliness?
II it is inevitable, then farewell to all hopes
Of really sound social progress. For one
CdHHOL TAKE beauty out OIL the environment OF
People without lessening that peoples ca
pacity for alert and vigorous thinking for
clear vision, for the full realization of life's
possibilities.
Nay, so essential is beauty to the mind and
the morale that it may without hesitation be
affirmed that citizens of mean cities tend ire
sistibly to mean modes Of thinking and be-
having.
Communities still not overlarge can call in
landscape architects and city planners, as
some already doing. And even communi-
ties fully grown-too fully grown-can by
one means another redeem themselves from
the blight of ugliness. Concerning the means
available for this most desirable end I shall
have something to say anotheT day.

There is path which no fowl knoWeth,

the lions whelps hare not trodden it,
nor the fierce lion passed by it. He put

operturneth the mountains by the roots;
He cutteth out rivers among the rocks;
and His eye seeth every precious thing,
He bindeth the floods from operfIowing;
and the thing that is hid, bringeth He
forth to light. But where shall wisdom
be found, and where is the place of under
standings Behold, the fear of the
Lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from
evil is understanding-Job 28:7-12:28.
