THE AIMS OF LANDSCAPE-GARDENING 25 



His aims should include helping his fellow men 

 and women to live happier, richer, fuller lives ; 

 helping his country, his city, his neighborhood, 

 his own home to grow more beautiful ; helping 

 everywhere in that material, artistic and ideal 

 development that comes from doing things in a 

 rational, thoughtful, common-sense way. 



His compensation in a material way should 

 correspond with that received by men in other 

 professions ; but in the satisfaction that comes from 

 seeing and producing beauty, from breathing fresh 

 air, getting outdoor exercise and all the delights 

 that go with the country and the great outdoors 

 and in the pleasure and satisfaction of doing helpful 

 constructive work, no profession can vie with that 

 of this new art.
