BEAUTY IN THE NATION’S LANDSCAPE.
“The present careless indifference of the town tripper in his charabanc will, I believe,he replaced by a different mood' in .the succeeding generations. The faculty of appreciating beauty is latent in the generality, and merely requires educating, as is implied by the accepted expression, > 'an educated taste/ It is the capacity to foresee .beautiful combinations and to create them; artistic aptitude as distinguish-, ed from aesthetic sensibility, which is an exceptional and rare gift. Within a time which will be short compared with the secular life on the National Park wi. shall be an educated people, the leaders of thought will lead all classes, not merely an educated minority, and signs are.not wanting that, the aesthetic contemplation of nature will shortly attain the status of a cult,”—Dr Vaughan Cornish.
