The children can make their own plans, or copy plans drawn by 

 architects. This is optional. Original plans will show individuality, 

 care and judgment. Good points and bad points in the drawings can 

 be discussed, credit always being given for effort. Each child should 

 keep a book containing the plans and elevations of his house, pic- 

 tures of interiors selected from magazines and art and architectural 

 books. Selections give an opportunity for study into character, which 

 is valuable. Selection of furniture is equally interesting pictures 

 of good sanitary plumbing, convenient equipment for laundry, best 

 designs for cooking stoves, kitchen utensils, furniture for drawing, 

 living and dining rooms, etc.
