CIVIC BErrERNENT WORK.

Discussing the general movement
for civic improvement as conducted
by the American Civic association and
affiliated organizations, the Public LII
brary Quarterly, published by the
Kansas City Free Library by authority
of the board of education, contained
an editorial recently from the pen of
Carrie Westlake Whitney, the editor
She wrote, in part:
''In municipal or civic betterment,
not alone the comforts and pleasures
of the people are considered, but the
ethical side is developed by beautiful
surroundings and refining influences
This awakening indicates that selfish
ness and sordidness are to be eradi-
Gated from the American soil and that
every citizen will imbibe the noble
sentiment of helpfulness and cultivate
It for the general welfare of all.
1.-The problem of city improvement
is the most pressing question of the
day and the new conditions are stud
led with great attention. Cities are
vieing with each other in ornament
ing, in lighting and in making pleas
ing and commodious accommodations
for the people. Slums, or poor tene-
ment districts. are no longer permit
ted; parks, Fairgrounds, public baths
are now necessary furnishings for
WE'LL organized cities.
Political parties can not be de-
pended upon for communistic ideas
Radical improvements are preferably
taken out of politics and placed un-
der the supervision of the citizens in
the formation of leagues, associations,
commissions or boards. The ideal
city of our century must have civic
beauty as we'll as civic safety. and the
responsibility rests on every individ-
ual, as a part of unit, to accomplish
this end -
The Topeka state journal., 1909-03-25

Many others could be made more at
tractive by the creation of public
parks in their outlying districts and
the planting of trees in them. The
school children in city and rural
communities, by planting trees, could
enhance the beauties of the neighbor-
hood of their school houses to their
own joy and to the delight and com
fort of their little brothers and sisters
who will follow in their footsteps. Is
there anything more attractive or finer
than school house nesting in
grove of trees, or is there any better
place to have fun? Decidedly not.
And in the general planting of trees
to make cities and school yards more
beautiful and comfortable can be
found a suggestion for the farmers
that the same can be done by them
for the beterment of their home sites.
The Weather ones, too, might we'll
devote some of their lands and efforts
to the growing of forests which are
profitable and which will give new life
to the earth of Kansas, help to con-

means of adding in the course of time
manifold blessing of the natural and
most beautiful sort to the many others
now enjoyed.
So let everyone make his or her
preparations to celebrate Arbor dav in
substantial way this year, remem-
bering the words of Oliver Wendell
Holmes:
