- RGAN1ZAT1O\ for the better
ment of country life condi-
~ tons will show good results in
any community. One OF the
first signs Of betterment is in arous-
ing community pride, making both
men and women, young and old. feel
proud of the neighborhood in which
they live.
When men and women get together
and talk over the problems Of the
home. the farm and the town itself the
conservative are bound to get some OF
the enthusiasm of the more progress
sive ones, and then things begin to
move for the better. The neighbor-
hood that has not some form OF or
ganization for social as we'll as eco
nomic improvement will soon find that
It is tagging behind.
Every one is both collectively and
individually responsible for the part of
the world he lives in and should aim
to make it and leave it as beautiful as
lies in his power. If little opportunity
Is granted little will be expected. but
for that little he should be credited
equally with the accomplishments OF
the more fortunate.
Everybody's Duty.
It may fall to the lot of n to DC
able to plant a few flowers, to another
to start a tree or to make W blades
Of grass grow where was before bu
one. One may make and keep attrac
tive but one little garden. Anothe
nay present to the public a huge park
with funds for its permanent upkeel
Fountains, statues. pictures or othe
objects given to public institutions o
displayed in public places all contrib
ute to the identification of h Worl'
and all OF us are expected to confirm
ute in accordance with means or OF
oortunity afforded.
4 better town. 4 more beantlf

The leading principle OF the design
Of q civic center is that one OF the
buildings should dominate the rest.
This should usually be an official build
ing. The other buildings should be in
character and style related to the DOM
inant one, but not Of such size or out
line as to detract from its importance.
as it should he, in an artistic sense,
protective of the others.
In smaller communities the town hall
is an important local asset. 1t is there
that most of the larger public enter
tainments, political meetings. etc. are
held. The necessity Of having such a
building satisfactory in every detail Is
therefore apparent.
Spring Valley, Wis. has shown its
enterprise by erecting a municipal
building that is an Improvement on the
old style Of town hall. 1t contains
quarters for the public library and for
a town and country club, an engine
house and an opera hall, which IS also
used for public meetings Of all kinds.
A large dining room and kitchen are
also included. The building is OF con-
crete and presents a substantial ana
handsome appearance.
Concrete results speak for them
selves. and scores Of small
ties offer results as examples OF what
can be done when citizens put their
shoulders to the wheel. Frank y.
Waugh. professor of landscape garden
ing at the massachusetts Agricultural
college. in an article in the American
City says that the modern idea of vii
lage improvement organization is usual
" said to be Of Massachusetts origin
being generally credited to Stock
bridge. But" he adds. many othe'
towns. many of them distinctly rura
and less wealthy, have accompllshe1
results just as praiseWorthy.
