PROPER USE OF PARKS.
No Patience With "t<ccp OFF the Grass


Edward Everett Hale came to st.
Louis from Boston and delivered an
address when the puoi:c library cele-
.brated the Inauguration of free circu-
latfon DR.. Hale said he had but one
sentence in his Speech ana that was,
Books are made to be read" Books
We're not made to fill shelf room and
misery JOY in possession. but to be
worn out by the hands of Industrious

The philosophy of Dr. Hale is com
mended to the park commissioner.
Parks are made to be used by the
people and any regulations that pre-
vent their full and free enjoyment Of
the trees. the lawns. the widespread
view and the untainted air of parks
are violatiVe of the peoples rights In
their own property.
Untidiness is not lovely but there is
no use without measure of diSorder.
1t is as necessary that the citysmain-
park after use by the people as it is
for the park commissioner to have SER
wants in his home 20 pick up and
sweep after lie has disordered its apart
ments by use. What are few or many
scattered papers and fragments of
food compared to the cleansing OF lungs
and eyes and skin brought from the
polluted air of tenement quarters in
to the park reservoir of renovatints
air?
Let the picnlcking children wear off
a few acres of grass and leave a trail
