Among the many clubs which exist

none perhaps that has greater possibi-

But few of these, however, have as

uplifting influences have been very
great, many members finding i'm them
their only means of educational deVel-
opment and social opportunity.
What better means of spending their
spare time could be devised than i'm
studying English history or in follow
ing the lives of some of our famous
authors, or studying economical ques-
tions or writing papers on general sub

That there are To be two sides pre-
sented to the question OF the disposition
of The Exchange place area before the
whole scheme OF the city's great en-
trance and central place materializes,
was again indicated by the action of
the Rhode Island Business Mems AS
sociation. The association listened to
several speakers. Mr.. Alfred Stone
making the principal address Mr..
Stone represents that thought i'm the
community which urges the parking of
the Place, and so far ii is i'm behalf of
a park that most Of the argument has
been made. In so far as the idea ad-
yanced by MIR. Stone and others who
have spoken stands for an artistic ex-
ecution Of whatever plans may finally
be decided upon. ii will have the sup
port of the entire community, but il
should not be claimed, and cannot be
conceded, by the supporters of the OPP
posing plan. TO erect business blocks In
the now free space. that the park peo-
pie have an exclusive monopoly on the
artistic argument. For. manifestly,
business blocks Of character and
arrangement n be established over
there that would make some such little

posed extremely ridiculous from the
artistic standpoint. So the controversy
is by no means between the artistic and
the commercial spirit The argument
that the former is distinguished for
business folly appears to be at least
quite as good as the charge against
the other fellows who want TO set up
improving business buildings that they
have no artistic appreciation of the fit
ness of things. AS for the Business
Mems Association, it is significant that
the meeting. the other night showed a
strong leaning in favor OF making a
business centre of the new land The
committee appointed to represent the
