Excerpt from Construction, Vol. 2: November, 1908 There is a bill now before the British Parliament known as the Architects' Act, which provides for a very elaborate system of governmental examination and which, in general principles, is almost identical with the Illinois law, although somewhat more complicated and thorough. Indications are that the bill will be passed. It is rapidly becoming a pretty generally recognized fact, the world over, that public safety and welfare de mands that the practice of architecture should be under government control. And in a rapidly growing country like Canada, where there is such a vast amount of build ing, it appears to us that now is the time to solve this question, in so far as it will take thirty _or forty years to reap the full benefit of such a law. The Province of Ontario, the largest in the Dominion, should. We believe. Take the lead in this matter, and set an example for the rest of the Dominion.
