a mechanical apparatus. A system OF

human powers in rapidity and dispatch.
That the magnitude of the Invention
may be justly appreciated by Its effects,
we shall inform the public that after the

then merely supplied with paper; itself
places the FORM inks 1t, adjusts the paper

the whole OF these complicated acts Is

that he had been the first man to use a
steam press IN New England. sHe was the
first man TO introduce editorials into

cities, which, while it has not attracted
any very marked degree of attention on
the part Of the general public. is yet one
which will have a lasting consequence Of
the most beneficial character.
This movement, the replanning of cities.
has only begun to take shape in this coun-
Try in the last few years, but already
great progress has been made and plans
Of the most elaborate and magnificent

such progress lies in the fact that city

practical betterment Of cities that ii is of
vital interest not only to the city admin
istrator, the engineer and the architect,
but also to every citizen who has the ad-
vancement Of his city's welfare at heart.
What modern city planning is and what
Il means may be expressed in the follow
ing paragraph, quoted from the writer's
book, Modern City Planning and Main
tenance":
City planning is the application of wise
forethOught TO the control of city S

WHAT CITY PLANNING is.

City planning is a subject Of many rami-
tcatons and covers a much wider field
than is generally supposed. 1t includes
not only the aesthetic beautifying OF
city, but the construction and co-ordina-
ton Of all the elements which go to make
The modern city a practical, operative
Mechanism
An acquaintance with the principles OF
this art is necessary, not only for a
proper understanding Of the great move
ment which Is beginning in the United
states, but also to enable one to ap-
preciate and TO enjoy the work Of civic
architects and engineers wherever found.
Indeed, no one who appreciates art has
fulfilled his duty 70 himself until he has
become familiar with the principles and
practice OF city planning, and one who
mas al heart the interest of the city can
not fail to find in the art Of city planning
an Inspiration and means Of expression
'or his best activities. 1t opens up a
vista Of civic Improvement and has di-
rect and important influence on every citi-
zen
The building OF a city in accordance
with the highest principles Of the art OF
city planning will result in the better
ment OF its citizens socially. ethically and
physically. The superior appearance,
beauty and harmony of the city will de-
Velop artistic taste and will result in in
creased civic pride and patriotism. This
IN turn affects the character OF the indi-
Ndual favorably improving moral condi-
uons. The better hygienic system Of the
well planned city provides more light,
Durer air and more healthful and less ex-
pensive living quarters. affecting the
whole lives Of the citizens favorably.
ADVANTAGES TO BE GAINED.

Ofsries, churches and other structures Of
public nature, all unite to place the life

Inc extent 10 which this improvement
goes Is far more than Is realized by the
average observer In Germany. where
e'y planning has reached its highest de-
.elopment. the results are remarkable
ms Is shown by a comparison with six

THE GERMAN CITIES.

The German cities have increased IL
most twice as rapidly as the American
cities. and while all this increase is not
due to city planning. a very consid-
cradle portion of it can be so ascribed.
The arrangement of traffic, canalization,
location of factories, the easy movement
Of products, the wellbeing and the am
bition Of the employees, furnish a power
ful impetus to industry City planning
justifes itself at every point and Amer
lea is waking up to this fact.
There are already some hundreds of cit
les adopting more or less comprehensive
plans of city planning. and the number
is constantly being added to.
In the scope Of practical city planning
are included the broadest principles and
fullest details. The leading elements are
the plan of the city as a whole, the
segregation in suitable districts Of the
different classes OF the population ana
their proper housing in structures suited
10 their requirements, the arrangement
Of such classes of structures In groups
and district units, and the placing OF
such groups and units in proper relation
TO the whole, the development of other
classes Of units, such as civic centres
parks. public squares, grounds, athletic
and recreation fields and cemeteries and
their location with reference TO their
uses and nature; the supplying of the
units with the facilities and public struc-
lures necessary for the business TO be
transacted in them; the location In civic
centres Of buildings suited thereto, both
as TO their uses and their architectural
