He is one OF the rare souls who

on the Lyceum platform today than

others are trying to do ana doing 1t
just little better than any of the

Social betterment Is the one thing
Of all others that requires teamwork
and organization.
Don't take my word for It Ask your
friends In Milwaukee, Cincinnati.
Houston, Buffalo and a score of other
cities that have tried it.
Milwaukee was facing a problem re-
sulting from the existence of several
exceedingly disreputable resorts. The
young men of the city were being
trained in vicious habits--in idleness
and IN drunkenness.
Then the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' Association took charge OF al.
fairs. Wholesome places OF recrea-
ton were established. Concerts and
other forms of entertainments we're
furnished free-in the open air when
possible.
Nothing happened except a reyolu-
ton in the city's broadcast social life.
One OF the most notorious beer gar
dens was turned into an annex OF the
public library.
The young folks found that they
could have better entertainment in the
decent places than they could in the
saloons and dance halls.
Houston met the same problem and
solved 1t by establishing municipal
Auditorium, into which as many as
1000 persons have crowded at one
time 10 see the moving pictures and
listen 10 the good music.
Houston is a better place in which
to live than it was before the Chamber
Of Commerce made the auditorium pos.
sible.
Cleveland was plagued by too many
dance halls-resorts just within the
law but still a menace 10 the boys and
girls who frequented them.
Through the active spirits of the
Cleveland Chamber Of Industry mu.
nicipaI dance hall was established. or
fetal chaperons were employed and
safeguards were placed around the
young patrons of the place.
Girls and boys soon found that they
could enjoy themselves better in this
hall with its atmosphere of decency
than they could in the halls OF lower
grade. They were quick. too. to learn
that al opportunity had been proyid.
ed Gc" them to improve their manners
and address. The Cleveland munici.
pal dance hall is a distinct success.

America to have the moving picture

rnce almost simultaneously. and many
OF them we're vicious. Attempts at
regulation failed until the Merchants
Association gave its support to plan
for board of public censors. Then
there came a quick reformation.
There are scores of ways 10 bring
about social betterment in this town.
but the effective way is by means OF
organization and team work
