Culture in Saginaw

A school board, one might suppose, ought to be an institutional guardian of culture. One of the most important features of a genuine culture is an interesting architecture; and one of the marks of communal vitality is the preservation of a society’s architectural and artistic heritage. Schools ought not to be merely factories for turning out diploma-bearers: real schools inculcate a sense of the great continuity which links generation with generation, and cultivate a taste for vigor and variety in the arts, including domestic architecture.
