LECTURED ON THE
CITY BEAUTIFUL

"Beautifying Our City was the sub
ject of an illustrated lecture in the
New Century Club last night by A.
II. Spaid, superintendent of county
schools. The lecture was under the
Auspices Of the New Century Clubs
civic committee and the proceeds will
be used to help defray the expense
OF establishing public Fairgrounds
throughout the city.
The illustrations comprised pictures
of Wilmington, and some of the views
shown caused much surprise by their
vivid portrayal of the worst side OF
Wilmington. Professor Spaid urged
that cities should be especially beauti-
ful, because so many people are leav-
ing their homes in the country to live
in the cities The city is nothing less
than a large home, he said.
The city water supply was first
treated, and he showed pictures of
the Brandywine creek from the city
pumping mill to the powder mills. He
thought It was strange that the city
should so to such an expense for
water when II took the supply from a
stream that was not pure. He said ne
had seen a dead horse in the stream
dead fish and other things, and declar-
ed that anyone who drank the water
without first boiling it was running
the risk Of taking typhoid fever germs
into the system.
In this connection he showed the
picture of a goat. He said the city
was about to investigate a city de-
partment and that someone would be
made the ecapecOat and he thought
the picture a very appropriate one In
s. inection with the subject of the
water supply.
Unlocking vacant lots. plots that
could be used as Fairgrounds, the
comparative ease with which It is pos
sihle to convert ugly back yards into
attractive little gardens, and many
other reforms that would improve the
appearance and health OF the city
were commented upon.
