So now we should ask, who are the architects? ' The individuat's personal "'ar- chitectural" requirements in the community plan wil) be con- ditioned 'by his background, his family litc, his intelligence but mostly by his education. The individual whose sole ambition is to own a hot-rod and "live it up" is not going to contribute much in the way of imorove- ment to the community. But we must not blame him for that. Society has failed to develop that man to his tull potential and to fit him properly into the modern social scheme. The failure of even one man or woman is the failure of us all Society is only as good as the sum of its members. The "public architects" of progress in the community are various governmental or ad- ministrative bodies led by City Council and include the Plan- ning Board and the Industrial Commission pre - eminently. Many otter citizen groups dedicated to improvement, often in specialized fields, contribute more or less according to the quality of leadership within the group. points of view, through the eyes of a materialist and through cord dollar increases in pay- st rolls and tax revenues.

We exist, whether we like it or not, within a given set of situations which have arisen from previ- ous situations. We can exert in- fluence over the way the pres- ent situations will produce new conditions and problems, but there is no profit in bemoaning the "If" way. "If only so and so had been done, or was not so, we could do this or that to improve our lot." Things are as they are, and we must make the best of them. But we must also remember that our actions today, or lack of action, will be felt in years to come, and we shall be judged accordingly. Consequently it is our duty to look carefully at our Community as we find it today, decide what should and can be improved, make plans to give us the re- sults we want and then work hard to achieve them.
