the worker in direct contact with his
land. These plans are being prepared
by Mr.. Allen w. Jackson, the archi-
tect.
Something over fifty acres of land
have already been purchased for subdi-
vision, and Improvement This will be
sold to workingmen for homes for prac-
tically what it cost in large tracts, plus
the cust of division and improvement.
y special plan is to sell homes to in
dustrious working men on n long
time, on the monthly instalment plan.
at rate which Will he no more than is
usually paid in rent, but which will
create a sinking fund that will pay
the purchase price and in the mean
time carry what will amount to an in
surance policy covering the amount of
the purchase price remaining due, so
that if the purchaser should die the
property would go to his family with
out further payment.
FOLLOWS SUCCESSFUL ENGLISH
PLAN.
The movement is not intended to be
an isolated one as the shops and
gardens are open to any one who will
use them in the right way. Mr.. Max
well feels that isolation has been the
cause Oh Iallure III Sucn attempts ana
that the people of the community must
themselves become a part of such a
movement If it is to succeed. Here
again the scheme resembles that of
Bournville. There. though practically
Ill the houses have been built by the
management, only forty-one and two
tenths per cent. of the occupants work
in the village. Eighteen and six-tenths
per cent. work in villages within a
mile and forty and two-tenths per cent.
work in Birmingham. Fifty and
seven-tenths per cent. of them are en-
ployed at indoor work in factories,
thirteen and three-tenths per cent. are
clerks and travellers, and thirty-six
per cent. are skilled workers and pro-
| fessional men. BY this arrangement
normal community life is main
tained. The Homecroft Gid is being
| developed along the same lines.

elsewhere in England. 1t will not be
out of place to outline the Bournyiile
plan which is Identical in many re-
spects and has been carried out to an
assured success. This model village

bury Bros removed their works from

town, has been purchased and con-
verted into Gildhall and shops for
handicraft work. The land around the
house has practically all been appro-
priated to the use of a garden school
and laid out in children's gardens.
The director of the gardens Is Miss
Elizabeth S. Hill of Groton, who last
year conducted the school gardens in
Brookline and Groton. Over a hun
dred children are already at work and
many more, almost two hundred in all,
have applied for space. 1t is an inter
esting sight. and n poor commentary
on our public school system, to see
the wistful look of the children mot
in it, as they watch the fortunate ones
and inquire of the instructors as to
how long they will have to wait.
Many children not connected with the
the grounds, so that it has become a
children's center for the town.
The opening or the garden school has
aroused an interest among other pri-
vate organizations in the neighborhood
and the Women's Club of watertown
has established another garden school,
also under Miss Hills supervision, as
is still another opened by the Women's
Social Science Club of Newton, whose
garden is on Jackson Road near Non
antum.
On the outer boundry of the town.
the old Emerson Place has been pur-
chased and set aside as garden
school for boys and even men who de-
sire to do practical work. The plots in
this garden are large enough to permit
of practical experiments and to even
supply quite quantity of vegetables.
which each gardener is allowed to APP
propriate to his own use. The only
requirement is that each gardener pro-
vide his own tools and seed and pay
sufficient attention to the instruction
and to his work to keep his plot in fair
condition and in harmony with the
garden as a whole. There is in this
garden plenty of space not taken and
it offers a unique and valuable oppOr-
tunity for any one desiring such work.
The garden is supervised by Il young
man with practical experience in
market gardening.
WEAVE BEAUTIFUL THINGS.
The weaving department, the only
handicraft department as yet de-
veloped in the Gid. is supervised by
Miss ]. A. Turner, formerly with the
experiment station for the blind in
Cambridge. Miss Turner. assisted by
her sister, has several looms already
in working order and instruction has
been taken up. The aim of the work
in weaving, as 1t will be in other home
craft work, is not to have a weav-
ing establishment for the production of
goods, but to conduct a school in
weaving and design where women in
the community may learn to do work
which may be carried on in their
homes. This. as in the case of the
croft work, will enable them to occupy
spare time, which would be otherwise
wasted or improperly spent, in CON
genial, healthy and remunerative en-
ployment. 1t is hoped and believed
that such work will enable many
women who have to supplement their
income TO do 1t in their homes aud not
be forced into factories and other un-
satisfactory conditions. a system will
be developed whereby looms will be
supplied by and the product sold
through the Gid. By this method ex-
penses will be kept at minimum and
the highest profits accrue to the
workers.

cORONERS ESTIMATE.

San Francisco. April 24--Coro
ner William Walsh estimated that
the total number Of dead viii not
be less than one thousand. His
reports ar complete AID MS esti-
mate j. made up from all the data
he has been able TO collect. Coron-
er Walsh said:
Bodies that the deputy coroners
have found and buried number 500
as follows. AT Polk and Bay street,
81. at Ports mouth Square, 75; at
Washington Square. IL; at the Six
Mile House, 400; at Laurel Hill,
IS; scattered in different parts Of
the city, 10. No thorough archse
has been made Of the district south
of Market or the Chinese quarters.
Many lives must have been lost in
these sections. South Of Market
street are the cheap lodging houses
and many OF these collapsed. There
is little chance that half Of the in
mates of the collapsed buildings
had opportunity to escape, This IS
also true Of Chinatown.
Shortly after the earthquake
soldiers and police. so have been
told, buried bodies found along the
water front. Iihave received no off,
cial report Of these. The total
humber Of dead win undoubtedly
reach, if not exceed, 900.

The Washington Navy Yard Gets a
Message From Guantanamo, Cuba.
Washington, D. C.-The results of
the wireless telegraph tests which
were made by the Navy Department
show that some records were broken.
The station at the Washington Navy
Yard received message direct from
Guantanamo, Cuba, and from Colon,
Panama, through Guantanamo. The
sending of the message from the Cuban
station clear to Washington Just about
breaks a record New Orleans, La,
was heard from in roundabout way,
which the officials here have not yet
figured out The station at Key West
apparently broke down and for that
reason the work was somewhat ham
pered.
The instructions which were sent out
to those in charge of the stations up
and down the coast and in Cuba and
Panama were to make reports to the
Bureau of Equipment of the Navy
Department at once. 1t is expected
that these reports will be all in within
week or two. They will be carefully
studied by the experts here.
