...laid down by Dr. Austen Fox Riggs in the current number of "Mental Hygiene." The New England conscience, he says, is a form of egotism that makes a moral issue of every trivial thought or feeling. It takes the adventure out of life and puts in its place all manner of safety-first devices which warp the mind of the possessor...
...first place, this Museum brings to view in a very striking manner the setting, so to speak, of the artistic development of Europe since the early Middle Ages. The building itself, thanks to the genius of its designer, Professor Bestelmeyer of Berlin, is, without losing thereby its unity of architectural structure, a combination of the three fundamental styles which successively have dominated all European art; the essential forms of the Romanesque, the Gothic, and the Renaissance periods. It thus is more than merely a convenient place for exhibiting individual works of art; it embodies in itself the totality...

Then such street railway facilities should have completely and comprehensively covered the old and new town area in such a manner that the street railway system could circulate and distribute the population over the larger town just as effectively as the street system alone had formerly done for the foot traveller. Only by expanding the transit system in this way, as the streets were extended, and in advance of the population, could...

But do you realize that those who have been responsible for the planning and building of our modern cities might with equal justification be characterized in the same manner? That is just the theory--the theory of the hypothetical architect--upon which most of our modern cities are being planned and constructed today. We are planning and constructed today. We are planning our cities only with foot transit streets because such streets were all that was-necessary to circulate...
