BEAUTIFUL
CIVIC CENTER PLAN
CUTS ELECTION EXPENSE
Public School Buildings Advocated For
Polling Places.

a resolution unanimously passed by
ling in Chicago definitely favors the
public school buildings as polling
- and the public school staff as
50, ton clerks. This national confer
,:l%e was recently called by the United
States department of education and
was made Up of administrative officers
of public school education throughout
the country. Il number of state super
intendents and normal school presi-
dents attending. The resolution read:
a Il ready and practical means of
saving public expense and at the same
time vitalizing the service of the pub
lie schools in civic education. we favor
the use of all public school buildings as
centerS for voting and for that all sided
presentation and discussion of public
questions which is the prerequisite of
intelligent voting.
I'm order that this use of the public
! school plant as the civic center Of the
community may be properly correlated
with it's use as the center for children's
instruction. we recommend that when
the public schooIhouSe becomes the
polling place and civic forum of the
community the school principal or 9th.
CT responsible employee of the school
board associated with the school prin-
cipal be authorized to serve as the civic
secretary Of the community and made
responsible for the systematic organi-
Zation and direction Of all Of the Uses
of the public school property.
I'VE further recommend that admin
istlative organization necessary for the
systematic development of the use of
the public school buildings and grounds
as civic. social and recreation centers
be incorporated with and made a part
of departments of public school admin,
istration in city. county and state"

CANADIAN CIVIC PROGRESS.
Rapid Growth In Many Cities and In
creased Attention to Planning.

Rapid Growth In Many Cities and In
creased Attention to Planning.
To many of the visitors to the ecent
city planning conference in Toronto
one of the most interesting features
was the display of photographs and
maps of Canadian cities. These had
been gathered by the commission of
conservation with the aid of the city
officials and commercial organizations
of the various municipalities.
The desire for Il continuation of the
work of the commission of conserva-
ton in the interest of intelligent city
planning was indicated by a resolution
adopted by the Canadian delegates be-
fore the adjournment Of the confer
ellce. This resolution advocated "the
creation of a special bureau on city
planning in connection with the activi-
ties of the commission of conservation.
to act us a central body to encourage
and cooperate with provincial or other
housing and town planning organiza-
tons and thus to pursue the good al
ready attained and furthermore antici-
pated-a good work which we believe
will be welcomed by all classes of peo-
pie Of the Dominion"
To the delegates from the United
States two facts We're made very clear
by the Canadian exhibits-the wonder
fully rapid growth in size of many of
the cities of the Dominion and the in
creasing attention which most of them
are giving to city planning and COM
munity welfare.

Mclean county certainly made
a good showing at the Exposition
at Bismarck by winning two of
the best prizes and thirty-five
other prizes. 1t is a claim no
other county can make this
year. The good advertising this
will do for the county may not
be felt at once but it will be
sure to count. The Corn Indust-
rial Association of Garrison,
the Tuesday club Of Washburn
and the county superintendent of
schools made this county win the
prizes that are ours. 1t was
hard work for a few but after
the success this year many
have already offered their ser
vices for next year.

\ %majoriety Of the voters
have decided against the ere
alton of a new county out OF
Mclean county's territory. The
people have spoken so decisively
on the question that there can
not we'll be any dispute as to
their wishes. The territory that
was to be most benefited by the
creation of a new county was
where the vote WAS most decls-
i've against the question. 1t is
evident that the people in the
north end do not care for the
division of the county. The south
end gave a good substantial ma
jority in favor OF division and
thereby substantiatcd the claim
that the south end wants to be
fair and reasonable with the
north end and were willing that
the north people should have a
county Of their own. The blunt
of the campaign for division was
assumed by citizens Of Max and
to their credit it must be said
that their campaign was a clean
-cut one-frwe from lies and mis-
representations. Their Zeal for
division did not lead; to bicker-
ing and trades. They let the d.
vision question 60 before the
people on it's merit. The Max
people certainly conducted a
ceditable campaign and their
division proposition was from
all viewpoints the very best that
could be proposed.

A VISTA UNsPoILED BY TON WORK.
that there may be too much stone work
in the views. These vistas would be
most effective in sections where the
monuments are restricted or prohib-
tied. as is sometimes the case, says the
American City.
The long respected custom of putting
up monuments seems to be waning.
Monuments are at least limited to lots
Of certain sizes. and head markers are
made to conform to certain maximum
heights and widths. In some new sec
lions of certain cemeteries the head
markers are required to be level with
the ground. and in some few
even monuments are restricted to slabs
in the lawn. The sales in these Sec
lions seem to prove that many people
put up monuments not because they
want to. but to avoid criticism. and so
long as the section without stone work
is Stylish they are more than glad to
take refuge there from a burdensome
custom.
