Two methods for taxing billboards
and other outdoor advertising are be-
fore the Massachusetts legislature.
One plan provides for an excise tax Of
10 cents a square foot OF all outdoor
advertisements displayed for more
than seven consecutive days when the
advertisements do not pertain to the
place or property upon which they are
located. The tax would be paid to the
state, and the highway commission
would grant licenses for billboards,
etc. The other plan proposes to tax
billboards and the like as real estate.

GARDENING ASSOCIATIONS.

Civic Improvements by the Aid Of
School Children.
A considerable number Of cities in
the eastern half of our country have
worked out practical methods of civic
betterment and identifying through
the instrumentality of the school chill
dren. In many cases these efforts
have resulted in such a full measure
Of success that all the people in GER
tain places have voiced their opinion
in favor of municipal support for
school gardens and allied movements.
Nowhere has the scheme been work
ed out more successfully thar In Cleve-
land, O., where the Home Gardening
association has charge Of the work.
Their first work was the sale of seeds
to school children in penny packages
to the amount of several hundred thou
sand of these tiny packets each year.
The second year a public spirited citi-
zen gave a sum of money to start the
improvement of school grounds, and
the effort met with such marvellous
success that ever since the school au-
thorities have provided for the work.
After the gardens at school and home
were firmly established annual flower
shows were given, at which were ex-
hibited only flowers and plants grown
by school children, and these exhibit
lions hav met with wonderful sue
cess. The experiment Of establishing
school gardens was SO successful that
the entire work was finally assumed by
h board of education. Not only in
Cleveland, but in other places, these as
sociations have resulted in decidedly
changing for the better the general ap-
pearance Of the city or town.

IDEA WORTH DEVELOPING.
Value of a University In Extending
Village Improvement Work.

Village Improvement Work.
President James of Illinois univer-
sity is trying to develop a sentiment
with home life in Illinois. He wants
the university to be the medium
through which information about land
scape gardening, ornamental horticul-
ture and other local improvements may
be obtained. A state organization with
the object of stimulating interest in
such matters might accomplish much.
The need of attention to them is ap-
parent to every n who travels
through the country. Few examples
Of intelligent arrangement of farm
buildings are to be found. Even where
nature provides most beautiful en-
vironment it's glory may be badly
marred by the excrescences in the
shape of buildings. The barns and
outhouses are not properly disposed,
whether attractiyeness, sanitation or
usefulness is considered. Too often
the offer Of a few dollars tempts an
owner to sell advertising privileges
that help to mar the face of the land
scape.
The country road might lend itself to
tree planting in a way to secure the
effects to be noted in parts Of the
world where the traveller may ride for
miles along shaded highways. Few
farmers appreciate the usefulness Of
trees about the house or along the
lanes or roads, eve when 1.-The woods
are full of them" and transplanting
Is comparatively easy.
The country village is seldom cared
for in its little details of cleanliness
and beauty. The churches stand in
the sun. The burying grounds are as
bare of ornament as the dusty roads.
There is no need of Specifications. A
great deal might be done at slight ex-
pense of money or labor If the spirit
were there and with it the knowledge
Of what should be done and how best
done.
If the state university is able to get
something started IN Illinois that will
help toward the extension Of the vii
lage improvement society idea more
widely it will put citizens under ad-
ditional obligation to it. The field is
n worth developing-Chicago Trib-
