oped civic centers. 
Problems 
The pupil should first copy these two drawings at a scale of 
1’ = 30’. These copies should be made in ink, or in pencil and 
colored crayon. 
The next step should be to discover and map any civic centers in 
the vicinity. To this problem the pupil should give special attention. 
Revisions of existing layouts may then be undertaken. Prob- 
lems of this kind are of course very difficult, especially if one regards 
the practical obstacles to their realization. The beginner in the 
study of landscape architecture should not expect to solve immedi- 
ately the most serious physical problems of Chicago, New Orleans 
or Atlanta, or even of Hickville or Podunk, but he can, profitably to 
himself, put a lot of study into such problems, especially if he will 
confine himself to small-town conditions. A good teacher can, of 
course, give many useful suggestions at this point.
