Chairman Committee on Edu¬

In our life there is no possi¬ 
bility of standing still; we either 
advance or retrograde, and each 
step in advance but brings us to 
a new height with its broader 
horizon and stronger calls to 
advance yet again. Success 
lies not so much in achieve¬ 
ment as in the desire and 
ability to achieve still greater 
things. Some one has said that 
the moment a man or a nation 
feels satisfied with past achieve¬ 
ment, that moment marks the 
beginning of the downward 
road. It is eternal dissatisfac¬ 
tion which pushes us forward: 
your work is good, go then and 
do better. 
The earnest seeker after truth 
never finds it, for each time it is 
in sight, a way to higher truth is 
shown and the quest begins anew 
and eternally goes on and on. 
To accept to-day the truth of 
yesterday means moral stag¬ 
nation; permanently settled be¬ 
liefs stop advancement. Believe 
to-day if you will, but to-mor¬ 
row deny if you must in the 
face of better truths; so shall 
you progress, but you shall 
never arrive. 
It is such tenets as these which 
have led to the progress of the 
Society of Beaux-Arts Archi¬ 
tects, a progress which has been 
especially marked during the 
past year. It is impossible with¬ 
in the limits of this article to 
state this progress in detail. 
The record however is on the 
books of the Society and any one
