We 90 to her. And those knowing
the needs of the people, and the
great returns in better health
which are secured by rest and
change from daily rounds of care
and work, feel that the support Of
n perfect park system is a pecun-
iary return to the city treasury, if
not in visible dollars and cents, in
that which is more lasting. Such
a system helps men to be better; it
takes them away from their great
est enemy, the saloon; it unites
families in their pleasure; it is in
every way uplifting and beneficial
to the people.
The ladies in the town of Fair
field, Iowa, have accomplished
much in the identifying of their
town. The square or park in its
center was improved by them,
which action awakened public sen
timent to the extent that the
streets have since been paved. In
St. Louis, certain of the society
ladies, acting in concert with the
Civic Improvement League, have
greatly improved the city. The plan
has been to gather women from ev-
cry ward in st. Louis and to form
them into committees. In each
ward there is a woman inspector,
who, in case of the violation of the
city ordinances, arrests the offend
err, and thus works toward the
maintenance of a clean, healthful
city.
In Muscatine, Iowa, some years
ago, the ladies reclaimed some
land lying along the river for
public park. From excursions on
river boats, from flower shows,
Easter sales, and private donations
nearly fifteen hundred dollars in
cash was realized and there ex-
pended. Nor does this sum cover
the entire cost. The Rock Island
Railroad helped fill the lots, and
citizens bave their work. Teams.
tiers came with their teams and
gave much time. So also, did all
classes of citizens give, according
to their means. The Government

lwho attended the factory Sunday
school, packages of seeds as prizes
for good work in the school. A lit
' tie later, arrangements were made
by this Improvement Association
to obtain, at wholesale prices, trees,
bulbs, shrubs and flowers seeds for
the people wishing them. Some
persons did not compete, because
their lots were too small and mar
row; but they were assured that a
man living upon a 3O-foot lot had
an equal chance of winning a prize
with the man having one hundred
one hundred feet frontage. A few
object lessons were necessary, be-
fore the people whose places were
small, were persuaded to take an
active part and interest in the com.
petition. One well-kept lot, with
flowers and uncovered fence, in
tluenced the entire row; the pride
of the people led them to improve
their surroundings. Rivalry be-
tween householders, for winning
the money prizes offered, also
spread to an astonishing extent,
and the excitement was great on
the day of the award, when thou
sands were attracted to the place of
the decision. The effect of this or
ganized effort upon the city of Day
ton has been summed up under five
heads, as follows:
/. The Improvement Associa-
ton has greatly increased the val
lie of real estate without apprecia-
bic expense to anyone.
III. 1t has improved the stand
ard of living among the people of
the district.
III. 1t has started many boys
in habits of industry and thrift,
who might otherwise have acquired
nothing more valuable than the Gig
arctic habit.

surroundings beauti-
full and attractive, thus increasing
the happiness of the people.
V. Indirectly it has affected the
city government, which has main
tanned clean streets and well-kept
pavements to correspond with the
other surroundings.

Lyman Abbott tells us that "the
city ought to be treated as a unit"
The ugliness of the majority of
American cities is the first thing
which strikes a foreigner. The
ugliness is not only offensive to
the eye, but it is repellent to the
soul. Its influence upon education
is disastrous to the last degree.
Men need beauty precisely as they
need fresh air and clear skies. To
condemn them to live among ugly
surroundings, under skies black
ened with smoke, is to deaden
their sensibility to the beautiful
and to rob their lives of one great
element of interest and dignity.
For this reason, as the advance

and Importance. This League
hopes to expend large sums of mon
ey in enriching the many public
buildings with mural paintings;
to adorn open spaces and parks
with abundance Of good sculpture;
to urge upon elevated railroads
the necessity of providing artistic
stations; to secure beauty in all
details of advertising signs and of
street fittings. This is a noble
scheme, and if II can be success

ded to the beauty of the park. So
a beautiful spot was created he
side the river, in the heart of
manufacturing town of sixteen
thousand inhabitants. Another
railroad wishing to enter the city,
the City Council gave it the park
for station. Had this been kept
for station park, no regret would
have been felt, but today over
those beautiful flower beds, lawn

At Winona, Mimi, along the

citizens have parked their river
front. But no matter how much
may be expended on parks, and to
how great perfection the public
system of identifying the city may
be carried, it is, after all, the home
surroundings which bear witness
to the improvement of the city or
village. Never is the truth so ap.
parent as in the neglect of the
home, that the inmates in such a
home regard it as a place in which
to eat, sleep and rear their child

all need more than something to
eat, and a place which is some
thing more than n bed. We need
sunshine, with all which is implied
by that word. Nor need we expend
large sums of money in order to
beautify our surroundings. Some
one will say that it does not pay to
beautify home surroundings. But
such beauty brings something more
more of value than money. 1t
brings enjoyment to us, or, if we
are too sordid to derive any pleas
ure from it ourselves, it acts as an
educative force upon our children,
leaving pleasant impressions upon
their minds which time can never
cfface. There is not a word in the
English language which conveys
to us so much joy and sweetness
as the word home. There is no
other place which possesses such

Under the title of "NilIage
Parks" Professor Budd, of Ames,
Iowa, writes as follows: "The cen
ter should have its fine shade trees
(not in rows), and public plat
form, for public celebrations, pic
mics, etc, with wagon road
around it, not far from the bor-
dcrs of the square. Between this
road and the central shade trees,
no trees should be planted. Well
kept sod and well-pruned groups
of shrubs should occupy this space,
with the central trees as far back
ground. Outside this road, next to
the streets, should be groups of ev-
ergreens to hide undesirable views,
with grass and shrubs in groups,
where the view is most desirable.
These small shady retreats are
common in European cities, and
are now frequent in cities east of
the Lakes.
I'm planting trees, those subject
to leaf injury in summer or win
ter, those liable to die during our
test winters, should be avoided /;
also, shrubs and trees of doubtful
hardness"
Prior to any movement toward
the improvement Of the site, a
competent landscape gardener
should be employed, to lay out in
detail, every part of the grounds.
If available funds only permit
laying out and locating every road,
lake, island, tree, shrub and flow
err bed, during the first year. this
will be fine beginning. With de-
tailed plans, all after-work can be
accomplished at far less expense,
even when funds permit only of a
part of the improvements each
year.
Experience also shows that the
working ont of the plan should not
be given to city council, except
ing the election of a competent
manager, who is given complete
control. As an example, the
