Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.

The owner, who has secured the services of an architect, will naturally expect from him something more than the builder could have furnished.

Superiority in matters of taste he will look for as a matter of course, and, beyond this, a superior knowledge of mate rials and construction, and an executive ability to handle men and direct the many forces which must be applied to obtain a certain and satisfactory result.

The architect should possess then, as superintendent, a thorough knowledge of the materials at his dis posal and should see clearly before him, with his mind's eye, the building which he proposes to erect.

To do this, he must know how all the various elements of the building are, to be assembled and molded into a complete whole.
