What is the formula to be .? It is at this point that the application of the Guild idea to the city has such significance. The battle-cry of the Artist craftsmen of the later nine- teenth century was, as we have seen, the emancipation of the designer and the craftsman from mechanical conditions ; it was " Let us free the individual." * Notwithstanding the economic debacle of the Arts and Crafts movement as a whole, the craftsman's battle was won as far as the Arts and Crafts Society was concern...ed. The estab- lishment of hundreds of little craft shops of high skill is evidence of this. But the first two decades of the twentieth century have brought an entirely fresh problem. We have now discovered that all these admirable little workshops are but drops in the ocean ; that our aesthetic individualism is out of date ; that the unit is no longer the individual, but the workshop itself The workshop once established, the individual freed, the problem in an industrial society is to protect these work- shops and their traditions of high skill from a second destruction.
