On Landscape Gardening on a City Lot
or How to Beautify Suburban
Homes.
The Village Improvement association
of Westville have succeeded in interest
ing John H. Patterson the foremost ex-
ponent of public Improvement by pri-
yate means probably in the world,
man who is doing untold good in
arousing interest everywhere in this
work, and as a result E. l.. Shuey rep
resenting Mr. Patterson, will deliver an
address which will be profusely illus
trated by means of the stereopticon at
the M, E. church in Westville Thurs
day evening, April s, at o'clock Ad-
mission free. OF this lecture the Day
ton CO., Herald says:
con New Years night the Oak street
U. B. church was crowded, and stand
ing room even could not be had. Five
hundred people were turned away, and
two hundred were standing in the
asles, while one hundred boys and
girls sat around the speakers stand,
all to hear a most interesting and in
structive illustrated stereopticon lecture
on Landscape Gardening" by John FL.
Patterson. So entertaining was it that
| two hundred people stood for three
hours Many unable to gain admission
asked to have the lecture repeated and
last night, at the request of the South
Park club, it was given again, upon
the occasion of the opening of the N. G.
r. hail.
Before coming here on Wednesday
| Mr.. Shuey addresses the Society for
| Social Improvement at the Waldorf
Astoria In New York city at their in
vitatior.
| This is the first public meeting of the
| local associa ton, and during the even
ing J. M. Greist, the president, will
outline and briefly explain its work,
and 1t Is hoped that great increase in
membership will result. The movement
is necessarily a popular one, and de-
| ponds for its success entirely upon the
consent and efforts of the people. What
| is wanted is a large number of deter
mined and energetic men and women,
girls and boys, all actuated by one i'm
pulse, and that the identifying and i'm
proving Of our homes and home life.
There can be no doubt that this will
be a red letter evening in the history
of the Village Improvement association,
and that the church will be crowded to
hear and see what has been done in
Dayton, O., and what therefore may be
| done elsewhere.
All are invited to attend this free
lecture, and if it shall result in inter-
esting the people in the work which
! the association seeks to accomplish,
they, as we'll as Mr.. Patterson, will feel
amply repaid for the labor and expense
| incurred.
