KNOWING YOUR OWN CITY.

A novel expedition was conducted one
day this week by the Quincy, Mass,
Board of Trade, the party being shown
through the industries of their own city,
the granite quarrying and manufactur-
ing, the Fore River shipworks and the
several other smaller industries of the
city. Strange as it may seem, the Quin-
ey men were shown many features of
commercial and industrial activity which
they had not realized at all, or only
in small degree, and they returned to
their own occupations with better and
clearer idea Of what Quincy is. That
such an expedition may prove OF good
to community goes without saying,
for many members of a party thus col
lected from all walks of lie are likely
to have rather incomplete impressions
of what is going on in ! Il own city
and those members are sure to gain
knowledge which will cause them to have
better grounded faith in their town
and cause them, moreover, to boost their
town whenever occasion may require
Quincy is a city of about $4,000, not
large, as Massachusetts, cities run, but
nevertheless of sufficiently diversified in
dustries as to render it difficult for its
residents to know its entire commercial
life unless through plan like that tried
H.. Il ~
factory results.
Indeed, there are many smaller cities,
whose people in general have but hazy
idea of What is being done right at home.
For instance, here is Barre of say 1000
people, perhaps more. How many people
of Barre could give stranger anything
like an accurate idea of the granite in
dustry? We all have the statement on
the tip of the tongue that Barre is the
largest monumental granite center irPthe
world, its product being sent to all parts
of the continent and to many sections on
other continents; yet when it comes to
the point of telling concrete figures that
will back up the declaration. the most
of us are compelled to admit we are
baked. Not but what the figures are
there to prove the statement They are
there, only we do not have them in
mind. The same with the mind impress
sion of the great granite quarries within
few miles of our very doors. We
know that the best grade of granite is
being dug out of the bowels of Milestone
hill and that it is being dug out in great
quantities; yet we ourselves would be
startled by the magnitude of the opera
ton being conducted at the quarries; the
most of us would marvel at the huge
holes being pierced in the sides of the
small mountain.
Such being the case, how are we to
boost Barre in the way that we ought ?
II can be done only by studying our
selves, much in the same manner as the
Quincy Board of Trade members made !
critical examination of their industries !
this week. The granite industry has
been growing by leaps and bounds, until
even Barre people would scarcely recog-
nize it as the same industry which was
beginning to thrive twenty years ago. /
There is lot Of good to be accomplished 4
from a study of ones own city, along the
same lines as conducted in Quincy. ex
cept that such an inspection should be
more widely participated in than was the
case in that city.

scribed from Soc to $500 each per
month to pay for these concerts
and if about $40 more per month is
raised there will be six concerts
each month, four on the street and
one in each park. Certainly this
