One would like to see thedwellings of Garden Cities in no way wanting insolidity ; ceteris paribus, this points to the para-mount importance of their design and constructionbeing such as to permit of the embodiment of thehygienic and comfort-affording attributes of modernscience, and the cumulative results of scientificresearch. If we carefully consider the anatomy of a houseand the mode of building it, we cannot but be struckwith the very small amount of progress both inven-tion and science have brought about in this connec-tion.
