How can you expect children who
are born and who grow up among the
most degrading surroundings to be
anything but vicious young men and
vulgar young women? Money which a
municipality appropriates for beautiful
public buildings. for parks and play
grounds. for the planting and preser'
vation OF trees. for the abolition OF un'
slightly billboards and the erection OF
tablets to mark historic spots is mon
ey well spent.
But clean streets, pretty homes and
recreation centers are not all that Is
necessary TO make the city beautiful
Brick and mortar. fountains and flow

So. more important than the material
side OF city life. is the moral side
And there is nothing which would sc
raise the standard OF municipal NOR
ality as the feeling on the part OF each
citizen that he himself Is partly re-
sponsible for the things that are 60
ing on within the city limits.
Josiah strong has said that 'in the
average American city there are more
law-abiding men than criminals. more
people interested in pure government
than I'm corrupt. more good men than
bad: but we have bad government be
cause OF the bad citizenship OF good
men,"
Who are the men who stand In the
way OF reform? They are the ones
who vote mechanically for members
OF the city government without stop
ping TO consider whom the candidate
represents, whether he stands for a
special interest, or whether he repre-
sents the average taxpayer. They are
the men who haven't sufficient inter
est to vote one way or the other; the
stay-at-homes, the blanks. the spine
less creatures who can't walk TO the
polls and register their convictions.
The modern city challenges the

There Is no more significant aspect
of modern life than the popular at
tention and the scientific study that
are being given to the matter OF civic
Improvement. The capital city OF
Massachusetts, IL being stirred by a
movement which has as its object not
merely q bigger and buster Boston,
but q better and more beautiful Bos-
ton: and there has recently been held
In that city an exposition which dem
onstrated that II Is perfectly possible
to realize some Of the civic ideals
which heretofore have been ridiculed
as the dreams OF impractical and Wis
ionary reformers.
The reason for this new interest In
the city IL due to the tremendous In
crease In urban population. In. 1870
IA cities of the United States had a
population exceeding 100000; In 1900
there were 3S. One-half the popu-
lation of Germany is In cities, and
three-uuarters of the population OF
England. In all civilized countries so
ciai and economic conditions are fore
ing people from the country into the
cities. and wherevers people are
crowded together the relations OF life
become much more complex and the
dificulty of securing good government.
efficient public service and healthfui
surroundings Is greatly increased.
IL Is clearly the duty OF every citi-
gen to- improve the material side OF
the town in which he lives by every
means within his power. The import
ance which the writer or the book OF
Revelation attached to the external
appearance of the Holy city Is not
without significance.
We may not be especially attracted
by the picture OF the glittering walls
and the golden gates OF the new
Jerusalem, but their modern equival
ent. sanitary houses and clean streets.
should interest every one OF us. For
the safety OF the twentieth century
city Is not threatened by an army OF
invaders. The dreaded foes OF the
modern town are typhoid fever and
tuberculosis. Against these and sim
liar enemies Il must be on Its guard
continually. Every agency which low
ers the death rate and which raises
the standard OF health and physical ef-
fciency should receive the support OF
all people. A church member who
owns property that is unsafe OF un-
sanitary. and who for the sake or n
higher rent neglects to provide his
tenants with the things which com
mon decency demands. deserves to be
