Prof. Charles Zueblin of the University of
Chicago began his course of three Illus

at the Central High School Hall Thursday
evening. With the aid of numerous lam
tern slides to illustrate his points he show
ed that medieval cities were located with
reference to some source of protection or
other natural advantage. while the deter
mining factors in the location of modern
cities are mainly commercial Taking up
the chief material needs of cities, he ex-
hibited the transportation systems of Brit
ish cities, and spoke quite enthusiastically

the fare for short rides at least is only q
half penny. incidentally, he expressed the
opinion that American street car lines
should be managed by the municipalities

from the audience.

cleaning and lighting, fire protection, dis
posal of refuse, etc.
In connection with a view of the Shore
ditch dust destructor and electric lighting
station. Prof Zueblin stated that that city
lighted its streets with electricity generated
with only refuse for fuel, and added coal to
the refuse only when commercial lighting
was added to the street lighting.
After the lecture an opportunity was
given for questions. and this was taken adj
vantage of by an interested group of audi
tors. Prof Zueblin showed marked facility
in responding to the fire of questions to
which he was subjected. He will lecture
again at the same place this evening and
also Monday evening. the specific subjects
for those occasions being municipal hygiene
and municipal social life. espectively.
