ARCHITECTS TO PLACE
EXHIBITS IN SCHOOLS
Nationwide Campaign Plan Of In
stitute to Increase Public
knowledge on Subject.

A Nationwide campaign to increase
public knowledge of architecture by
means OF exhibits in the schools was
announced yesterday by the American
Institute of Architects. Through its
70 chapters the institute aims in this
way to foster AN appreciation Of archi-
lecture and to build up an informed
public consciousness in art which should
be helpful in the development Of our
towns and cities"
The idea, according to Prof William
Emerson, chairman of the institute
committee on education, originated with
the Philadelphia chapter, where spe-
cially selected photographs and pictures
supplemented by rendered elevations
and plans and colored drawings pre-
pared in the ofices of architects, were
embodied in an exhibition which is
now making the rounds of the high
schools and vocational schools of the
Pennsylvania city. In each 1t is being
displayed about two weeks, interpre-
tative lectures being delivered to the
students by the leading architects in
cooperation with officials Of the board
of education.
In nationalizing the plan, institute
authorities hope to establish a con-
tinuing scheme Of visual instruction.
