PARK IMPROVEMENT.
Henry A. Barker Delivered an Interesting
Address Before tho Franklin Society.

At a meeting OF the Franklin society
last evening Henry A. Barker. treasurer
Of the Providence Public Park associa-
tion and secretary Of the Metropolitan
park commission gave talk on "The
Metropolitan Park System" lie said in
part
The productiveness OF labor especially
artistic or skilled labor In much depend
ent upon environment. Our cities OF the
metropolitan district have grown espec-
tally great In manufactures along the
lines that are most dependent on vitality
OF thought and individual intelligence OF
the workers.
1T is usually said that business finds
its location first and that the workers
must follow, but here we have a note
worthy example OF the fact that busi-
ness will go with the people. and the
people will congregate where they may
live happily and we'll.
Now, II We have natural advan ntaRes
We certainly have every vital need 10
preserve them. In the past the fields and
woods were close at hand. Ponds and
rivers existed as free Fairgrounds and
recreation places galore. There was lit
tie need OF public Fairgrounds and re-
creation places then. but as the land gets
filled up and the public ia excluded from
one place after another the need will soon
be painfully manifest
80 long as the children can be brought
up with some OF the freedom of the rich.
and II somewhere beyond the squald rows
Of tenements there can be scenes Of com
fort and delight. the siren song OF the

when he counsels measures that might
mean closing of factories and their re-
moval TO some less desirable dwelling
