every object could be located separ-
! ately without having to pick over
the entire contents.
Such a house in relation to land
scape should follow the principle of
planes that are pertinent to that par
ticular landscape. This type of house,
for instance, should not be built on
the side of a hill-but rather on an
abrupt small table-land, overlooking
the valley. A forest should stand to
one slde-and open, cultivated fields
to the other While on the eastern
slope there should be shrubs of small
fruit-and on the wcstcrn-pattcrned
gardens of flowers. The roofs should
be gablcd and matched. with rim of
morning gloricS decorating the edge
of the outer facade-and moon
flowers a similar decoration for the
inner facade. The garage would be
placed in the cellar at the rear. AS
! for the other cellar space this would
be given over to recreation, the heat
ing plant. and food stores.
Now coming to the rooms them
most important thing about a house.
The house should be built around
functional use of rooms-for these
functions will determine the style of
the building-and the choice of ma
tCrials and characterization. Starting
with the main entrance in the front
the room on the ground floor should
be large rcccption-living room with
high hearth. The furniture, con-
sisting Of chair, benches, and tables
should be so designed as to make it
intimate for few or comfortable
for large social gathering. The room
directly above, Of the same dimcn-
sions, would be a library combining
the accessories for reading. reference,
and writing. And above the library
would be an observation, used equally
both summer and winter with the
seasonal star-chartS.
TO the left would be the bedrooms
and connecting baths, with one or
two to spare for guests. The right
side would consist of very individu-
aliscd rooms, of course depending
upon the interests and hobbies of the
owner. For one thing there would be
a muSic-room aiming musical
library, Instruments. radio and phono-
graph-and recording apparatus.
Then the hand-Craft room, used for
hand loom, painting. drawing, etc.
Then the laboratory for experimental
purpose in connection with applied
sciences that would have meaning in
that particular locality. There should
also be a mending room, which among
other things should contain a sewing
machine But there arc also many
other things that need to he repaired.
The ground-floor in the rear should
be an up-to-datc kitchen with the
dning-room extended by means OF
glass into the inner court. Above the
dining-room and kitchen would be the
Sanctuary where cngravcn over the
private altar would be the words Of
Jesus Man shall not live by bread
alone, hut by every word that pro
cccdcth out Of the mouth of God
Along with the altar would be a
large family bible on a stand. Here
would family and guests assemble
once each day-and here would each
person seek solitude, meditation, and
prayer at any hour of the day and
night with only tall white candles for
light. And after the days work is
ended, prayers have been said--to re-
tire to the roof above tho sanctuary
and he guarded in sleep by heavens
stars and angels.

Turning Over An

were faces to forget;
There were fires of grief and fear that
are few forgotten ashes;
There were sparks of recognition that
are not forgotten yet"
In 1890 Professor Leo D. Colange
of the Sorbonne completed his four
volume work entitled "a Tour of The
World" These volumes were pro
fuscly illustrated by examples of do
nestle architecture that he had stud
led in all quarters Of the globe He
took as much pains to describe the
interior and exterior Of the mcanest
hut Of the aboriginc as the most
magnificent palace of the aristocrat.
Ever so often examine his findings
and study the pictures Many of these
houses are perfect examples of native
art the materials and workmanship
are of the best But | am forced to
place all these modes of domestic
dwellings, with the more recent inno-
vations of the goth century If ever
] build there will be no temptation
to initiate. As tried to show in a
previous article all housing has for it's
main object the limiting of function
to bodily existence But house, in
order to be a home, should provide
more than space for shelter, eating
and sleeping rooms for the
chores of existence
1t is strange that various social
sciences are so slow to comprehend
that art can be pressed in service
with religion to remove our chronic
social cvlls-divorcc, delinquency,
vagrancy, and migrancy by pro-
viding dwellings, that incorporate
along with rooms that pampcr the
body those that stimulate the mind
and quicken the soul.
Dear reader if you belong to some
society or have occasion to converse
with your friends may | suggest that
You propose the following question;
IF YOU were free to build your own
house, how, whore, with what materi-
al and purpose would you build it,?
There would he as many different
ideas as there were people present in
the conversation. The differences in
idea and plan would he in ratio to
each persons imagination and know
ledge of art.
In the past several months have
had few occasions to present this
question to various informal groups
In every instance | have observed
that people nowadays want to build
differently from their forcfathcrs
There are many reasons for this.
For one thing we have a much larger
selection of materials, raw and
manufactured to choose for the con-
struction of house. Again there are
so many mechanical devices for our
pleasure and comfort that are now
being specially designed for home use
And because most Of our generation
has travelled widely, those who have
been obsewant want the freedom to
individualiSc the external and internal
appearance of the homc-uSing in
novel ways, form, color, lighting,
heating, room arrangements, furni-
ture, decoration, and landscape.
If this be true there will be built

vjdualistic, and quite likely eccentric
