In the smaller towns and country
districts people say I'VE" when they
speak of governmental activity. 1--WE"
built the courthouse and got it done
at low cost. 1--WE" organized the high

In the big cities people say they"
"Why don't they do thus and SOP"
People wonder when the city govern
ment falls down. 1t isn't a personal
matter with them. The government
isn't their government. 1t belongs to
somebody else.
There is a world of difference in the
two attitudes. When the people of the

cities and counties then they are go

PLANTING TREES AND SHRUBS

Avoid haphazard planting Of trees
and shrubs. Many planters make the
mistake of thinking that the chief
thing is to get certain trees or shurbs
on to the lawn. This is great mis-
take even at the first, and the mis-
take grows more apparent as the years
go by and the different things become
of various sizes till there is a yer
liable chaos in the arrangement, with
little and big things intermingled
The house should have an absolutely
clear lawn in front of it except in
cases where native trees have been
left in the clearing away of the ar
boreal growths. The fact that such
trees are already in existence when
the house was built is often a reason
for keeping them. But when the
builder has a clear field in the first no
tree should be allowed to stand in
front of the house. The desire should
be to produce a picture, with the trees
and shrubs arranged along the sides
of the lawn. with the tallest growing
trees and shrubs farthest back Such
an arrangement greatly increases the
appearance of spaciousness, for the
eve naturally uses the things nearest
as a measure of distances. This is OF
importance when the area that can be
devoted to ornamentation is rather
limited.

IMPORTANCE OF THE ALLEY

The objections made to alleys are,
first, that the ground cannot be af-
forded for this use; second, that the
expenditure necessary to pave, clean,
police and light an alley system is not
warranted" says correspondent Of
the Chicago Daily News. "These OBJ
jections have as their basis the ques-
ton of expense only. AS to the first,
it is my belief that the area set apart
for alley purposes is better utilized
than that taken for any part Of the lot
itself, and is second only in Importance
to that portion Of the ground area
needed for the street, which, we may
remark is often of unnecessary width.
Admitting that alleys in many cases
are at present marked nuisance for
lack of proper maintenance, can only
urge the necessity that they be paved
as a prerequisite to proper cleaning.
That they demand lighting and po-
licing is of course evident, but this
expense is much less in the case of
alleys extending directly through the
square than those which have Offsets
or bends in this course.
"For the safeguarding of light and
air in city blocks in our own day and
for the preservation of these essen
tials Of sanitation in the days that are
to come, let us stimulate an apprecia-
tion of the benefits conferred by alleys
and by providing suitable equipment
and adequate care minimize their dis
advantages"

FOR CHILD-WELFARE EXHIBIT
Work Issued by the Federal Depart
ment of Labor Is of Value to
Every Community.

"Child-Welfare Exhibits" is the
title of bulletin issued by the chill
dren's bureau of the federal depart
ment of labor. This has been pre-
pared in reply to the many inquiries
received by the bureau about exhibits,
and single copies may be had for the
asking. The bulletin will give those
who expect to observe the nationwide
Baby week next March, or those who
are planning baby show, children's
health conference, or any kind of chill
dren's exhibit the benefit of expert ad-
vice and practical experience in sue
cessful exhibit work.
The bulletin is full of suggestions
for communities of all sizes. 1t de-
scribes effective small exhibits of one
or another phase Of child problems.
It defines a "child-welfare exhibit" in
the title of which the name of the city
or state appears as a 'well-rounded
presentation of the whole question Of
the welfare of the cOmmUnity's chill
dren," and sounds a warning against
undertaking such a general exhibit
without the cooperation of all the So
cial agencies of the community.
The results of childwelfare exhibits
are emphasized. "a new factory in
spector in Kansas City, a housing in
spector in Louisville, $4,000 school
building in a cOngested district of
Northampton, increased sewer connec-
lions in Easthampton where the ice
supply of the town was menaced, are
types of results which have been Sc
cured in practically every community
that has devoted sufficient time and
thought to the planning of childwel-
fare exhibit. In cities where no or
ganized combination of social agen-
cies exists to interpret and carry out
the legislative program suggested by
an exhibit, the exhibit organization it.
self is often a first step to such a
combination"
The bulletin includes a complete list
of all child-welfare exhibits owned by
state departments, January 1, 1915.
and a copy of the record blank used
by the Children's Health Conference
of the childrens bureau.
