times over. Fortunate is the community which has foreseen this 

 need and secured such spots as possess natural beauties and ac- 

 quired them before they are destroyed by the expansion of the 

 city. Example of such foresight is well illustrated by the city 

 of Duluth, which has secured the most beautiful ravines with 

 their streams and some of the rocky hillsides which otherwise are 

 of little value and which are being improved as shown by some 

 of the accompanying plans. Such natural beauties offer great 

 opportunities to the Landscape Architect to transform them into 

 natural parks. Although every city cannot be situated so as to 

 possess these natural advantages, there is the greater reason that 

 some areas should be made into charming parks by means of 

 careful planning and development. 



The need of a Landscape Architect to plan 

 ^ or ^ e Development f various kinds of Insti- 

 tut i ons i s seen today in many instances by the 

 sad result which has been the outcome of build- 

 ing from time to time without any given plan for the future growth. 

 It has been the aim of Landscape Architects to study as far as 

 possible the future requirements and ultimate growth of these In- 

 stitutions and so to plan for their arrangement that as the time 

 goes on and as the Institutions grow, year by year the plan for 

 this arrangement can be followed and thus by looking towards 

 the ultimate scheme can procure a result which will always be 

 harmonious in itself. An illustration of this comprehensive plan- 

 ning for the future growth is shown in the accompanying illus- 

 tration for the development of the Industrial School for Girls at 

 Sauk Centre, Minnesota.
