"All the great civilized nations of tbe earth have made notable contributions to the world's architecture," said Mr. Blair in beginning. "Egypt gave to civiliza tion the pyramids and obelisks, tombs and temples, monuments and places of wor ship. For more than six thousand years they have Stood and they still stand as objects of wonder, delight and inspira tion for tbe people of each succeeding generation. “A thousand .years before the birth of Christ, Greece developed the Doric, louic and -the Corinthian architecture, which with all the experience anil prog ress of the ngee have never been surpass ed and seldom equaled. The Parthenon still stands upon the Acropolis in Ath ens, S model of symmetric beauty iu harmony, line and proportion. "A thousand years later ttome gave to the world the Coliseum and the pan theon and the Rennaissance gave to civ ilization the Gothic cathedrals of the » British Isles and Europe. "Our own splendid Capitol at Wash ington with its crowning glory, tm> im posing dome and lantern surmounted by the statue of freedom, towering high above the street below is one of the beau tiful and architecturally perfect bilihl iugx of our own time. ‘ "The names of the builders of these great structures in many instances are forgotten, but their great works stand as monuments to -their genius and skill, and despite the fact that, they are un known to us, they still live and the in fluence- of creations have inspired lie peoples of all ages. “The world owes its progress and its advancement to builders, some of whom -have devoted their lives and their tal „ ents to architecture, some to the build ing of great industries, some to commerce ‘and the means of transportation, and others to tbe building of character, such as tbe profession of teaching and the ministry. The constructive history of the world is the history of these build ers. \ •The Pyramids, the Parthenon, the Coliseum, the great cathedrals and the Capitol at Washington would have been impossible but for the wealth which is produced by the builders of industry and commerce, and industry and commerce would have been impotent to produce the needed wealth, but for that kind of char acter which the Stonewall Jackson Train ing ' School is successfully building to i day.'
