TOWN GROWTH.

Some towns, like Topsy, just grow up They concern them selves with neither direction nor destination. They accept that which comes to them un- bidden and unsought. They build without thought or fut- ure. If their streets are straight and broad it is only because they just happen to be so. If their commercial ,indust- rial and residential sections do not encroach upon one an- other it does not indicate that it is because forces have been at work to prevent such en- croachment. If towns of this type grow and prosper it is because they enjoy some pecul- far natural advantage which forbids community stagnation.
 And then there is another type of town. They have both direction and destination. They seek out and bid to come that which they otherwise would not be given the privilege of accepting They build like the engineer, giving thought to the unity of the whole and the relationship of the component parts. Their streets are pur- poSely straight and broad. They preserve we'll defined boundaries between the resi- dential commercial and in- dustrial districts Even without the advantage of natural op- pOrtunities towns of this type grow and prosper.
 Thus it behoOves every town to make the best of what it has and then to discover more that it may make the best of that also. Established communities are deprived the privilege of determining their own begin n,ngs but they are the masters of their own destinies.
