Professor Geddes must, however, be congratulated on a stimulating paper, and upon his discovery of Eutopia. And the duty of working towards its perfection lies directly upon you. "Civics as applied sociology" comes to show you the way. Hon. CHARLES BOOTH, F.R.S., in the Chair.
He told me he found Hynds House here when he arrived and expected to leave it here when he departed. And Geddes knows no more. Geddes isn't interested in Hynds House by itself," finished The Author, with a crooked smile. "Perhaps Mr. Jelnik may have some family papers." "Perhaps he may. I'd give something for a whack at those papers, Miss Smith." "Why not ask him to let you see them, then?"
'Why, there are the dogs, your honour knows, Neptune and Thetis and the puppy may do something; and then though your worship I beg pardon though your honour be no great fighter, this young gentleman may bear a hand. 'Aye, and I see you are provided with arms, said Mr. Geddes; 'let me see them.
In America the word "civics" is applied to the rights and duties of citizens, and I should like to see Prof. Geddes include in Civics the connection between citizen life and the outward improvement of cities. I am sure, however, Professor Geddes, as a practical man, will deal rather with realities than theoretical views on the subject for which he has done so much himself.
I lay there looking at that self-contained, trained young woman, with feelings of almost ludicrous astonishment. I remembered the skidding car; and Richard Geddes lying with his head on Alicia's knees, and how we had both thought him dead; and myself sitting in the dust; and then the pain. But it was astounding news that I had been very badly hurt full three weeks ago!
Prof. Geddes is helping him in this work with his suggestions. I hope they will be carried out. In America there are several very beautiful cities. No one can ever forget Washington, which is truly a garden city. A beautiful city is an investment for health, intellect, imagination. Genius all the world over is associated, wherever it has been connected with cities, with beautiful cities.
All this is set forth with greater fulness in the Report which Professor Geddes has been asked to write for the Carnegie Dunfermline Trust. The scheme, with its many pictures, real and ideal, of workshops, parks, culture-institutes physical, artistic, and historical will deeply interest even those who reject much of it as Utopian.
I suppose we all came here to hear Professor Geddes speak on practical affairs because his name is now connected with the plans for making a city that shall be really expressive of all its potentialities to all of its people. I am personally profoundly grateful to him for his paper; and I move you that he be given a very hearty vote of thanks. The Chairman.
Geography shapes our shells from without, and the spirit of our particular community shapes it from within. History tells us how it has been shaped in the past, Art tells us how it should be shaped in the future. Professor Geddes, in fact, envisages our civic shell as becomes a brilliant biologist, who also happens to be a man of historic imagination, ethical impulses, and aesthetic perceptions.
She kept the secret even from her mother; that is, in the only manner Olive would conceal aught from any one so beloved, by saying, "Please, mamma, do not ask me anything." And Mrs. Rothesay, who, always guided by some one, was now in a fair way to be entirely guided by her daughter, made no inquiries, but depended entirely upon Olive's wisdom and tenderness. Charles Geddes came to Oldchurch.
