HOLD CHILDREN'S INTEREST
Garden Cultivation Has Proved a Great
Success In the City of
Albany, N. Y.

At the annual convention Of the
American Civic association Mrs. John
T. D. Blackburn of Albany, N. Y, told
a most interesting story Of Children
at Work In Gardens" in her home city,
where, during the past two or three
years, thousands of children have been
interested to develop flower and vege-
table gardens about their homes. At
the close of each summer session a
garden exhibit is held where are dis
played the best selections Of flowers
and vegetables, plants grown in pots
from seeds and plants grown in win.
dow boxes. Awards are made to the
children for the best efforts. Concern
ing this kind of activity for children,
Mrs. Blackburn said: Gardening gave
increased health and knowledge Of ma
ture, and furnished a continuous inter-
est through the summer, giving a pur-
pose to life. It kept the children at
home and off the streets, promoted a
common interest in the family and re-
duced the cost of living"

The Legislature Adjourns

The 10th session of the New Jersey
Legislature adjourned at 9,45 Tuesday
night. Governor Fielder's review of
the work of this session is as follows:
81 think / a hear the mighty sigh
of relief and satisfaction which will go
up when the people learn of the ad-
journment. This has been the most
tedious and wearisome session, with
more promised and less accomplished,
than | have ever been thru.
Fifteen weeks were uttered away
on things of little Importance, and the
main result is that we now lave seven-
ty-eight more laws than were passed
last year, with probably a hundred
bills still to reach me and be disposed
of. l have done what / could to keep
down the volume of laws by requesting
the recall from my hands of thirty-nine
bills and by vetoing thirty"

FOR PROPER CITY PLANNING
Authority Makes Assertion That
Beauty and Commercial Prosperity
= Go Hand In Hand.

'sThere is no reason why our cities
should not be sensibly planned. There
is no reason why they should be al
lowed to run wild and grow without
care and scientific regulation. There
is no reason why commercial consid-
erations should ruin the beauty of a
city. and there Is no reason why con-
siderations of beauty should interfere
with it's commercial prosperity" So
said Arnold W. Drummer Of New York
city at the annual convention OF b
American Civic association In Wash
ington when he responded to the sub
iect, "Our Surroundings and Their In
fuence." Continuing, Mr.. Drummer
said: 'There is every reason why
these two considerations should go
hand in hand and supplement each
other. They do so when we destroy a
slum, and let in light and decency,
when we open up a ~congested district
and replace a mass of ~disgraceful tene-
ments by a playground, when modern
harbor improvements supersede old
wharves and neglected water fronts.
We must make it clear that city plan
ming properly understood, is intended
to prevent blighted districts; to pre-
vent the ruin of our streets; to pre-
vent the spoliation Of parks and
squares. We must make 1t clear that
It is not only a good financial invest
ment but that it brings a direct return
in the improvement Of the welfare,
comfort and happiness Of the citizen. l
believe that our newer ideas Of social
Justice will produce better cities. Cities
will be cleaner, healthier, more beauti-
full, for even the unframed already feel
that their rights are not recognized
and realize vaguely that their sensibili-
ties are hurt by unsightly surround
ings. The outside of the other fellows
house is of more Importance to us than
that Of our own, and he must consider
us as we must consider him.
"The future American cities will be
beautiful and inspiring, and Washing
ton will lead them all. When the
LEnfant plan is pushed further, as it
surely will be, the Lincoln memorial
finished, and the glorious mall, lined
with digniied buildings, sweeps
triumphantly up to the capitol as a
climax, we shall have a scene, a back
ground worthy of a great nation"

Five Thousand Communities VIII
This Year Join "Clean Up and

AKORE than 5000 cities and towns

Ing to Allen w. Clark, chairman of the
National "Clean Up and Paint Up"
Campaign Bureau. st. Louis. Many OF
these committees, Clark declares, are
thus breaking away from the old
established clean up or annual
bath" idea and are striving to make
their improvement programs continu'
hi performances.
Files in the bureaus offices, which
indicate that the organization has in
reality become q national clearing
house for the dissemination Of COM
munity betterment ideas, show that
last year more than 1000 cities and
towns made an effort to "clean up and
paint up" This year." commented
Chairman Clark, ut looks as though
we would cooperate with more than
5000 communities, in each Of which
some live civic leader is trying to i'm
prove living conditions. Though Q
majority of these campaigns will start
with an opening week. a definite
program Of activity, we know that the
bureaus success has been chiefly due
to the fact that we try to get away
from the old-fashioned annual clean
up idea that has become odious to
many civic leaders and an annual Joke
In nan cities. The plans Of the
bureau call for continuous campaigns
that bring permanent results and help
form worth while civic habits"
The Work to Be Done.
The work Of the bureau this year II
more comprehensive than ever before.
Everything that will beautify. pre-
serve, improve sanitation, reduce fire
risks, and better health conditions has
been carefully provided for. Among
the things which local Clean Up and
Paint Up" campaigners are doing this
year are: Cleaning the streets and
alleys, front yards, back yards, cellars,
stables, atticks; the removal Of ashes
and rubbish; cleaning up vacant lots
Of rubbish and weeds; eliminating
breeding places of flies and mosqui-
toes; planting and care of trees,
hedges and flowers; and the liberal
use of paint on everything that
needs it.
It is this constructive, permanent
nature of the Improvements effected
that has won the endorsement Of
national leaders in every branch of
civic uplift work. Among those serv-
