Synopsis

Excerpt from The English Home

So many things go to the making of an ideal house, and yet how little do many of us concern our selves with its construction or with the reasons for the partiar design of each separate part, the nature of the floors we walk over, the walls which protect us from the cold and heat, and the roofs that afford us shelter from the weather!

It is but too true that the education of most of us includes but little study of architecture - the oldest of all the arts - Which throughout successive ages has been the outcome of progressive civilization.

It is the one art upon which we are always depen dent, Whether in the secluded village or the crowded town. The lowly country cottage, the stately town house or castle, all in their place must have their suit able architectural form. In our public schools we are taught something of the dwellers in many lands With various climates, and but little of their dwellings.
