Finding in the course of my daily teaching that so many even of the older girls with whom I came in contact knew little or nothing about Architecture, it occurred to me that some addresses, putting the subject simply, and in a very elementary form, might be of use to them. Architecture is, ofcourse, a very wide subject, and to treat it fully I should be quite incapable. But just as every educated person ought to know something of foreign languages, so he ought to have some differentknowledge of the schools of Painting, and of the elements of Architecture.
