GoldenberE's--MainP Floor
Evening star., 1933-11-05

cal irregularity that has little in COM
mon with any Colonial paving The
wooden floor has not yet been put in,
but If not chosen with more knowledge
than was shown in the aisle floor it
may strike as modern a note as the
present cement beneath the pews. The
chancel rail, too, even though follow
ing different line from the original
one, should be patterned in detail as
closely upon it as possible. It is true
that the present rail is relatively mod
ern, but I am told that samples of the
cid railing it replaced-presumably. the
they should be ScrupulOuSly copied; if
not, the new railing should be designed
by some one thoroughly conversant
with the patterns of the eighteenth
century.
The chief dispute, however, centers
about the vesting room. The pulpit
stands a rare example of Colonial
work, projecting from a re-entrant
angle of the side wall It is supported,
in appearance at least, by a slender
spreading cone Of wood, the point of
which rests upon the floor. This sup
port is quite detached from the wall. SC
that the pulpit seems miraculOusly bal
anced in the air. Now, for practical
purposes, a miniature vesting room is
introduced, tucked beneath the side OF
the pulpit against its support. and the
pulpit railing is somewhat changed. To
the archeologically minded this is
sacrilege. for not only should no new
structure be allowed to come in con-
tact with the old work, but by the new
arrangement the open space between
supporting cone and wall is closed, de-
stroying the airy fancy of the original
builder
If the gallery is no longer adequate
for vesting, and there is nc space upon
the floor where cubicle can be incon-

suitable for present congregation,
though still preserved occasionally. no
one would seriously think of building
them today. and the gallery as vest
ing place for the rector may be incon-
venient, even if picturesque. So alter
ationS were planned at Aqua. The
cement floor was to be replaced with
wood and stone some sort Of a perma-
nent vesting room provided and the
chancel. instead of being restored to
its original form, was to be given a
new rail and paved with marble. In
principle. no one objected to any OF
these improvements. I believe, though
some would have preferred to restore
the chancel to its original form, and
the use Of marble for the floor there
was deplored as out of character with
the rest of the structure and of some
what doubtful taste. But the execution
has aroused much indignation. and to
tell the truth, this does not seem un-
justified. 1t is a case of the right thing
being done in the wrong way, or rather.
careleSsly, where the utmost care to
preserve the original atmosphere of the
building was dictated
To the expert, stone floor or a
wooden one is not simply made of stone
or wood, it is made of particular kind
of stone or wood laid in a particular
way, and the use of the right materials
and methods require study, skill and
taste. The original aisle floor was
made of local stone naturally split

served when the cement was laid and
may now be seen outside the church.

Second Inter-American Federation
of Education Session Will Be
Held There.

Preliminary preparations are under
vay to hold the second conference OF
the Inter-American Federation of Edu-
cation at Santiago, Chile. in September

The federation was organized at the
first conference, held in Atlanta. Ga,
during 1929. under auspices of the
National Education Association. Ten
countries were represented at the first
meeting. and since that time the mem
bership has increased.

out from headquarters of the Edu-
cation Association here request that
the ministries of education in the
various countries prepare papers for
the conference and name delegates.
The request also was forwarded to
cooperating committees in the various
countries. DR. Swiggett suggested that
the committees be enlarged and revised
where necessary with a view to the
conference.
1t is expected the conference Will
again. emphasize the Importance OF ele-
mentary vocation training and char
acter training in the program OF Inter-
American education.

"HE dispute over the current al
terations at Aqua Church, which
have called forth recently a
i letter Of explanation by Bishop
H. st. George Tucker of the
Diocese of Virginia, is of type unfor-
tunately likely to arise in connection
with the restoration of any ancient
building, and serves to point danger
most imminent in all work of the sort.
The conflict rises not at all from lack
of good intent, but only from want of
expert care.
AQUA, built in 1757. Is one of the
most interesting of the monuments OF
the established church in Colonial Vir-
ginia, not only for its size and unusual
plan, but also for its handsome reredoS
and triple pulpit, the finest example OF
such a structure now standing. Orlgl-
nally the church was filled with high
box peWs, as was customary: originally
the aisle was paved with fiat stones
and the peWs and chancel f1oored with
wood. About all this there is no dis
pute, nor about the fact that the chan
eel was enlarged at some time after the
Civil War, with new rail to replace
the original one. At some time, also.
the original box pews we're cut down
and then. about 20 years ago. the wood
and stone floors were replaced with
cement. The reredos and pulpit, hap

In the course of time conditions of
use have changed from those of Colo
nial days. The high pewS are hardly

logical thing would be to build small
vestry outside the church. as was done
in Colonial days at Spesuita Church
and st. Paul's in Maryland, or as is
now being done at the new Fairfax
Church in Virginia But, of course. If
such an annex were built. it should be
done with the greatest care so that the
form and the brickwork and the details
might be consistent with the church
itself.

The question Of the altar Is not Of
immediate concern, for the plan to in
troduce box altar has fortunately been
shelved, but if it is decided to replace
the present table. which does not seem
original, the design of the new altar
should only be intrusted to some archi-
tect of ability with much experience in
Colonial work. For the reredos against
which the altar stands is of a very dis
tinctive and most interesting form.
