ENGLAND'S OLD WORLD COTTAGES.
PRIME MINISTER'S ELOQUENT APPEAL.
A MEDIAEVAL HERITAGE.
THE PRICE OF RECENT NEGLECT.
A stirring appeal for the preser- vation of ancient cottages that so- exquisitely adorn the countryside was recently made by the Frime Minister, who presided at a com- ference called to consider the best means of preserving, the cottage architecture of the country.
The movement has been started by the Royal Society of Arts, and the conference, which was in the society's hall, was repre sentative
of ovar forty or- Iganisations, all of which are eager
to safeguard the beautiful village' homes of bygone days Emphasis was laid on the fact that it is not sought to restore cottages simply because they are old and artistic; efforts will only be made to restore those that can be made perfectly sanitary and comfortable.
The Speaker of the House of Commons and the Earl of Crawford gave their support to the move- ment, and the following resolution was passed unanimously:
That this meeting, called to con- sider the best means of preserving the ancient cottage "architecture of this country, declares its warm sup- port of the movement started by the Royal Society of Arts, and signifies its intention to assist in the estab- -lishment of, a substantial fund for application on the broadest nation- al lines in furtherance of this move- ment..
