Architecture and Life Are One.

There la another result of good leaching of art history that Is Impor'ant. A good teacher of art history ——jg fail to impress upon his stulenffhow Intimately the history of art and the history of the race are connected; how every great change in style la only a symptom of some great ■hange in ways of thinking and living. The history of architecture ought to reach that life and art are oue and hat falseness of ideal Is mirrored in--vftably by a fake architecture. It lught to go fgr toward removing that destructive viewpoint of the present lay that sees architecture as something far off and esoteric and unimportant Instead of the very stuff of our contemporary civilization. It ought, iu i word, to open the draftsman’s eyes to the social implications and the social responsibilities of his art—Talbot F. Franklin in Architecture.
