Children Learn Value
of Clean Home TotUn


In Pensacola 1000 school children
Joined in cleanup campaign. 1t is
another impressive example of what
children may do to make life cleaner
and better In urban centers. Children
have been playing in all the progress
sive cities of the country in recent
years, and 1t Is properly looked upon
as a very important part of their
practical education. 1t teaches them
many useful lessons in civics, and at
once brings them face to face with
the vital fact that health and beauty
go hand in hand.
1t Is interesting to note also that in
these cleanup efforts children often
are very much more efficient and thor
ough than are grown persons. Youth
Is wide-eyed. Youth sees more, and
sees more accurately, as rule, than
age, when it comes to rubbing out
the ugly spots in urban centers. The
range Of vision seems to narrow, and
the eyes become slower and duller,
as we age. Youth sees many things
not picked up by the eyes Of older
persons. Children are not likely to
overlook anything in these cleanup
campaigns where they are interested
in what they are doing.
It is useful work, useful from the
standpoint of the health and beauty
Of the city. and useful, too, from the
standpoint of the children who take
part in it, for it helps them to acquire
