Particular attention is to be paid to the sanitary arrangement, the idea being to have the building the most perfect of its kind in America.

This address was a model of its kind, the latter half of it being especially admirable, Seldom is an address heard in which the thought is so compact, and so clearly and forcibly expressed. In fifteen minutes Mr. Winsor covered the ground which a great many orators would have spent two hours in travering, and he left a clearly defined impression of what the character of Washington has meant to him upon the minds...
