backing Of his and her club.

He told of the successful efforts Of
the children in other places, and said
that their active support was neces-

the children banded together to clean .
up all rubbish they saw. with sharp
pointed sticks that eliminated the
necessity of STOPPING, and of the gar
dens that were planned by the school
boards and the children, and made
by them and cared for by them.
Pictures, the speaker declared, would
make a more lasting impression h a
any amount of lecturing. Create a
public sentiment, get in touch with
the city planning commission and make
an organized plan and stick to it. he
said. 1.-The work of rebuilding and re-
modelling cannot be done in a day, but
If the plan can be adhered to 1t will
eventually be carried out"
