PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS 



of the exercise will establish a series of 

 stations, say, six to two dozen, correspond- 

 ing to the holes of the golf links. Each 

 station will be chosen with reference to 

 some attractive or instructive bit of land- 

 scape or outlook; and the direction of the 

 view, as well as the precise point of view, 

 will be indicated by a suitable marker. Of 

 course, a great deal depends on the tactful 

 selection of the successive stations. They 

 should offer a pleasing variety of pictures, 

 eUid, if possible, they should be selected 

 and arranged with relation to some 

 fundamental principle. There ought to be 

 some development, sequence and climax in 

 the series. For example, it is possible to 

 start with restricted views, showing only 

 foreground, then to reach more extensive 

 views in which the principal objects occupy 

 middle ground, thence to views with inter- 

 esting backgrounds, reaching for a climax 

 some point of view offering a far distant 

 outlook. Sometimes it is possible to start 

 with the highly domesticated views in a 

 village street, passing through the more 

 open suburbs, thence through open fields, 

 and reaching a satisfactory climax in some 

 wild ravine or on some wooded hill.
