CHICAGO WATER FRONT
ISSUE BEFORE GARRISON
Park Commissioners Want Lands,
But Army Engineers
Oppose.

Members Of the Chicago park commits
sion and others interested in the project
appeared before Secretary Garrison at
the War Department today to press their
request for unrestricted permission to
occupy certain property fronting on
Lake Michigan for park purposes. The
board OF army engineers, which inves-
tigated the proposed project. disapproved
it on the ground that It would interfere
with future commercial development
The petitioners explained to Mr.. Garri-
son, from their point Of view, the desira-
bility of extending Chicago's park sys-
tenn by taking in eight miles Of lake
frontage. The areas involved lie between
Randolph and 18th streets. 18th and t1th
streets and 95th and 102d streets. The
army engineers contend that the sur
render of that frontage would render the
construction of an up-t0-date commercial
pier on Lake Michigan forever impossi-
BILE within the limits Of the city OF Chi
cago.
After hearing the case in behalf Of the
park commissioners Secretary Garrison
heard the protest in behalf Of the city
against the proposed modification OF the
Van Buren street bridge over the south
branch of the Chicago river Since the
bridge was constructed the river has
been widened SO that, army engineers
contend, the abutments of the bridge now
constitute an obstacle to navigation. Ac-
cordingly the War Department ordered
the modification.

a considerable period Of time before mar
riage. The opinion prevails that school
boards should create continuation schools
or classes in home-making at which
young men and women may secure free
instruction in home-making. The boys
should be taught the elements OF house
planning, sanitation. eugenics, contag1on,
disinfection. the repairing of the home
and its furnishings and other subjects
coming under the province of the father
OF family. The girls should receive
instruction in all matters pertaining. to
housewifery, as we'll as in complete
scientific methods Of caring for young
children. This instruction should be
largely given in night schools. as most
Of these young people must work during
the day.
Much of the interest in infant mortality
prevention is due to the trained nurses
of the country. A section devoted to
nursing and social work considered the
standards to be required for nurses
specializing in infant welfare work. The
visiting nurses of towns and cities. as
well as those in charge of milk stations
and similar institutions, frequently have
greater influence upon the infant
health of the community than the physi-
clans. The demand for nurses specialize
ing in infant welfare work IS increasing,
and the trained nurses of the country
are anxious that there should be a desig
mated standard of efficiency in this
branch of their profession.
