Editor. ] EXTEACTS FEOM " MODERIST CIVIC ART. '' By Charles Mulfoed Robixson.... * Like an artist choosing the central figures of his group before he begins the composition, or as a landscape designer notes the dominant natural features of the given site before drawing his plans, it is necessary in the study and practice of modern civic art early to consider the public buildings of the to^vn. To the buildings of the government, which constitute the archi- tectural elements of an administrative center, there ought to be given not merely a central location, which will be invited by con- siderations of convenience even more strongly than by those of sen- timent, but all the additional emphasis and conspicuousness that site can offer.
