TIE MODEL CITY.

pose Of formulating complete plans for The Model
City" which VIII be one of the principal features
Of the St Louis Worlds Fair This ideal munich
pality win be what is commonly pictured as the city
beautiful, the very perfection of the practical
adaptation of the best theories for health happiness
and comfort
The object Of building model city in the Expo
sition grounds is not entirely to delight the eye to
present vision that will please the spectator for
the day. This object enters into the conception of
course for the reason that the chief purpose Of the
exhibit would otherwise I've overlooked: but it is
only the means to a higher purpose
The Model City will be an educational exhibit.

tion. 1t will first please then interest and then in

system. typical homes and all of the essentials OF

Workmanship.
That this exhibit wiz have the effect of edu-
eating the visitors from various cities in favor Of
public Improvements is safe conjecture. No one
viii see the city without thinking how his own city
may he improved. No one will see il without feel
ing that appearances as realized by public improve
ments have a real value. The Model City ought 10
stimulate civic pride in ali beho!ders. and FOR this
reason it should be popular educational exhibit as
well as interesting feature of the greatest of all
universal expositions.
The Model City cannot present, at least not en-
tiTcly satisfactorily, the organic mechanism Of a
municipality. 1t could hardly illustrate admins
tgative systems 1t could scarcely demonstrate how
municipalities are governed. Yet it must he ac-
lnowledged that TO great degree the externals Of 4

crnment as well as of the aspirations of the citizens.
If the interest in and demand FOR the beautiful
