Country Life
A NORWICH FESTIVAL.
One of the quaintest and oldest towns or cities in Britain is Norwich, capital of a county that claims first place as a pioneer in the perfecting of rural life. " People do not make enough fuss about it," as the man who was cured of blindness said of the flight of the first birds he saw. Some of us hope that a great many people, including rural and county town authorities, will assemble in order to make a fuss about it on October 21st and 22nd next. The aesthetic future of England, and at the same time its social health and happiness, must now depend on definite and deliberate planning, nega- tively against muddle and ugliness, positively in support of constructive beauty. The conference, to take place at Norwich on October 21st and 22nd, will supply at least the headings for this new chapter in English life.
