\E are living in a furious epoch.
' New statements of human stand-
ards will appear as we emerge, new
motives will dominate masses of men.
The instinct to be at peace and to
memorialize will be vastly stimulated. I
hope these memorials will express new
ideas in artistic forms. Living testimonies
that remain fresh and are useful to the
people should have primary considera-
tion. Obligations will rest on the people
to maintain them, and thus will
memories not fade or become static.
Good careful plantings on public prop-
erties will make new appeal year after
year, they will stand for tranquil living,
and they will bless us all with the beauty
and the bounty of the earth.
