Suggestion Offered by Philadelphia

Suggestion Offered by Philadelphia
Committee Good For Smaller Towns.
The permanent committee on com
prehensive plans of Philadelphia in a
report recently issued advocates the
appointment of municipal publicity
commission that shall handle all mat
ters connected with throwing the
Quaker City into the national spot
light.
In speaking Of educating the citi-
zens to proper appreciation OF their
city the report charges that most citi
zens know little regarding Philadel-
phia and that little attention usually
is given toward instructing them. In
this respect the committee recon-
mends that the following educational
methods be applied, and the sugges-
tions are good for other municipali-
ties, large or small:
Institute course of free lectures in
city planning and municipal develop
ment. These should be given in series
and be historical in nature, showing
primitive planning and present day
methods. Establish a lecture bureau
for the citizens in order that various
officials may be made easily availa
BILE to address public meetings, thus
giving first hand authoritative infor-
nation, as we'll as unbiased reports of
the projects in hand and contemplated.
To educate the children in city plan
ming by means of textbooks, moving
pictures and graded course of study
In the schools, the moving pictures
could be shown at motion picture
houses, with enough reading to sup
plement and carry the lesson to the
spectators.
In regard to the committee, the re-
port advocates that it be given perma-
nent headquarters, where the public
could come and see by means Of maps,
pictures and books. the plans of the
committee put forth pictorially and by
means of circulars.
The report declares that the purpose
Of the committee and its advice to all
citizens is to aid In making Philadel-
phia more healthy. convenient, pros
porous and beautiful" It is necessary.
too, to prepare program Of progress,
not alone for the present, but for
twenty-five years ahead. 1t is suggest
ed that the work be divided into three
parts-development, exploitation and
education.

"Evervbody assumes that the Progress

there would be any need of his entering

he regards as bunk he may feel so out

elect President Wilson,

nobody knows how long it will take to

Saturday, but, if there is deadlock,
the convention may go over to Mon

Lucrative body, and it is pure specula-
