UP TO THE SMALL CITIES.
Harder to Improve Metropolitan Dis
trict Than Village.


trict Than a Village.
There are many misconceptions
about city planning, but none Is fur
Their from the fact than the notion that
comprehensive planning Is only for big
cities. says John Nolen. architect. As
matter of fact, the reverse is nearer
the truth. In big cities the conditions
are fixed. inelastic, unyielding. Com
prehensive planning, especially with
our limited city charters and the ham.
pering laws of our states, can have as
yet but little play In larger places.
At most it must content itself with
relieving only the worst conditions.
ameliorating merely the most acute
forms of congestion. correcting only
the gravest mistakes of the past.
But with smaller towns and villages
the case is different. Comprehensive
planning can render them a big and
lasting service, for there Is scarcely
anything In them that cannot be
changed. and most of the territory that
is to be built upon Is still untouched.
In small cities railroad approaches can
be set right, grade crossings eliminat'
ed. water fronts redeemed for com.

spaces secured in the very heart Of
things; reasonable street plan can be
made and adequate highways estab-

Community Can 30 improved Only by

There Is little use In urging public

Slovenly indeed is the place which

A Dream and It's Result,

In 1920 terrible epidemic decimated
Marseilles and Provence, and Sardinia
owed its escape to dream. At this
period the viceroy of Sardinia dreamed
that the disease had invaded Sardinia
and that the ravages were frightful.
When the viceroy awoke he was deeply
impressed by his dream, and a little
later a merchantmen put in its ap-
pearance at Cagliari and demanded
place to berth. The Sardinia refused,
and when it was limited that the mer-
chairman wanted to land some sick
the vlceroy threatened to train the
guns Of the forts upon the vessel If
the captain did not depart instantly.
The people Of Cagliari thought that the
viceroy was mad, but great was their
Joy later when they learned that this
very ship, which went on to Marseilles,
was responsible-4for introducing the
plague into the famous port -,

VALUE OF FAIRGROUNDS
Children Not Only Become Healthy
But Are Trained to Become
Good Citizens.
OTHER FEATURES SET FORTH

Few fully realize the great sociaIlz
ing influence Of the playground on
those who witness as we'll as those
who participate in it's activities.
The value Of sound body with a
clear mind cannot be overestimated
The measures taken by play teachers
to Offset the evil influences of the
street should receive due credit in any
discussion of the playground problem.
The effort to impress upon the mind of
the growing youth spirit Of loyalty
and fair play Is another most com.
mendable feature Of playground in
struction, but of greater consequence
than these or other matters Of public
import that playground officials have
inaugurated is the subtle training in
citizenship that the boy receives while
playing with his fellows on grounds
conducted under public auspices.

and at the ballot box, all are equal.

growth.
A study Of any city discloses de-
plorable lack of knowledge on the part
of its citizens concerning their public
institutions. The majority know little
or nothing Of the great forces that
make for civic betterment. Municipal
advancement depends largely on the
degree of interest manifested by the
community at large in municipal at
fairs.
With the growth of the community
spirit on the playground we may justly
demand Of our future citizens an ad-
ministration that Is broad minded and
public spirited as well as clean, honest
and businesslike. To attain this end
wise men have seen flt to begin with
