and see what the result is. The twenty-five foot tenement
with its murky hallways, nai^row staircases, is practically ex-
tinc^t. actually extinct so far as new buildings are concerned.
Buildings have been increased in size and on the whole they
are better constructed, better planned, better lighted. More¬
over, this increase in size, this substitution of fifty foot lots
or larger for the old invariable' twenty-five foot lot. has pro¬

has permitted the "outer court."

This "outer court" is a very sane and logical modification of
plan, A great many minds have become interested in the
problem and they are working it out every year to better re-
suits. This is particularly true of the plans of all buildings
above the lowest grade. In the first attempt at expressing the
new idea the "outer court" was treated as a mere indentatiori
in the building. There was merely a rough inner coUrt al¬
lowed to remain open on one side to the street, and in the
centre of this indentation the entrance was placed. It was
simply   a   matter   of   plan   and   received   no  architectural   treat-
