as they are generally well shaded by hand¬ 
some trees; and nowhere in the West has 
more attention been given to the careful 
planting of shrubbery and the laying out of 
gardens. 
We show among the illustrations the plans 
of several houses and gardens located in dif¬ 
ferent parts of the village. These plans are 
generally typical of the class of improve¬ 
ments now being carried on in Lake Forest. 
In each case the planning of the grounds is 
as carefully studied as that of the house and 
is made to harmonize in every possible man¬ 
ner with the natural character of the land. 
To the Eastern visitor the village is gener¬ 
ally a complete surprise, not on account of 
its natural beauty and the evidence of wealth 
and prosperity, so much as because of the 
study and cultivation shown in the arrange¬ 
ment of buildings and gardens, and the 
general appearance of age, and of an estab¬ 
lished country life. 
The College, situated in large grounds in 
the center of the village, with its dependen¬ 
cies—Ferry Hall School for girls, and The 
Lake Forest School for hoys—exercises its 
beneficial influences upon the resident com¬ 
munity life. Each of these schools possesses 
substantial and attractive buildings of its own, 
with ample grounds around them. There 
are, besides, a small private school for little 
children and several excellent public schools,
