TEXTBOOK OF LANDSCAPE GARDENING 
much emphasis cannot be laid on this feature of the design. To 
properly arrange thoroughfares to take advantage of this psychol- 
ogical effect and still permit easy and free movement is the designer’s 
problem.” 
Study 
Pupils should first give careful study to the foregoing ‘prin- 
ciples of design’? as enunciated by Mr. Robinson, and should ex- 
amine the plan of the Clay County Fair Grounds in detail to see how 
each of these principles has been worked out. The class should 
then go over the plan together, taking up each item, as location of 
race-track, location of live-stock arena, provision for concessions, 
dealing with automobiles, etc., discussing and criticizing all these 
points. 
If the class can now visit a fair grounds they should attend in a 
body accompanied by the teacher; and though a visit while the 
fair is in session would be illuminating and much worth while, the 
final examination for study should be made when the grounds are 
not in actual use. At this time the layout should be studied in the 
manner already recommended, item by item, and all points criti- 
cized in the light of the principles of landscape architecture thus far 
developed. Such questions as the following should be asked and 
answered: 
Are the grounds favorably located? 
Is the land topographically suited to its uses? 
Are the grounds large enough? 
Are the grounds clearly and properly subdivided and appor- 
tioned for the desired uses? 
Is the entrance in the right place? 
Is the entrance area well designed? 
Are the buildings properly designed and well suited to their 
several uses? 
Are the buildings most advantageously placed? Are they 
grouped effectively?
