Excerpt from Two Notable Addresses on Town Planning and Housing

To paraphrase a saying of Mr. Charles Mulford Rob inson: This dream, pictorially presented, showing what your city should be and may be, will be. 1 special inspira: tion to those professions of the Fine Arts upon which the beauty of the city ultimately depends. There is not a city councillor or an architect of spirit who will not feel a new incentive when he thinks that he is directing or planning buildings that are a part cf the city of the 'future. Not a landscape gardener who will not plan with greater care, because of the vision. Not a sculptor who will not throw himself more devotedly into the modelling of the civic monument that is to be the city's ornament.' Likewise the man of culture, engineers, surveyors, pro fessors or workers - the men who give commissions and those who execute them - all will feel the spur of the dream, the hope and the goal.
