ECONOMY T0 BUY_ PARKS FOR CITIES Dr. Eliot Tells of Valus of Playgrounds. . VERY NEGESSARY ADJUNCTS ' —_— Should Consider Welfare of Children and Grandchildren In Expending Public Funds, President Emeritus of Harvard Asserts—Necessary to Civ- * ilization In Growing Communities. Discussing the need of parks for a city, Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard, says: “It is very poor economy of human life, it is very poor economy of money, to postpone the purchase of parks any further. ‘Nothing is so costly,” it has been well said, ‘as sickness, disease and vice, nothing so cheap as health and virtue. Whatever promotes the former is the worst sort of extrava- gance; whatever fosters the latter is the surest economy.’ “And now every argument that has been thus far advanced bears with at least equal force upon the question of DR. CHARLES W. ELIOT. the country park or the public park proper. In the town squares'and bou- levards men and women will find fresh air and shade and decent surroundings for their hours of sociability and safe playgrounds for the children and fresh nurseries for the babies. But there is an important element in human nature which the town square cannot satisfy. This is that consclous or unconscious sensibility to the beauty of the natural world which in many men becomes a passion and in almost all men plays a part. “The providing of what I call coun- try parks, to distinguish them from squares and the like, is as necessary for the preservation of the civilization | of cities as are sewers or street lights, As our towns grow the spots of re- markable natural beauty which were once as the gems embroidered upon the fair robe of nature are one by one de- stroyed to make room for railroads, streets, faciories and the rest. The time is coming when it will be hard to find within a day’s journey of our large cities a single spot capable of stirring the soul of man to speak in poetry. Think of what this will mean for the race and start tomorrow to se- | cure for your children and your chil- dren’s children some of those scenes of special natural beauty.” Co-operative Effort Accomplishes More | Than Individual Work. | Organization for the betterment of ! country li onditions will show odl | results Hi any community. The -1 tary of the Minois farmers' institute is of the opinion that one of the first} signs of b rinent ina communi from oraanized effort in arousing comtmuunity pride. making both men and women, young and old, feel proud of the ueighiborhood in which they live, Without this neighborhood pride there | will be no anywhere. When men and women get together and talk over the problems of the home and 'm the conservative ave bound to get sonte of the enthusiasm of the morve progressive ones, and then things begin to move for the better. The neighbort:ood that has not some form of organization for social as well as economic hinprovement will soon find that it ix lngzing behind. A Small Plat Properly Planted. An old Iinglish garden of small size is described in the following mpathetic and appreciative words: “In ordinary ground it wounld have been a perfectly commonplace thing with the usual weary mixture aml exhibiting the usual distressing symptoms that come in the train of the jobbing gardener. In size it may have been a third of an acre, and it was one of the most interesting and enjoyable guardens I Have ever seen, its master and its mistress giving it daily care and de- votion and enjoying to the fullest its glad rvesponse of grateful growth. The master had byilt with his own hands on one side, where more privacy was wanted, high, rugged walls, with wpheéds for miny rock loving plants, and had the wall dle away into the rock garden.”—T.o0s8 Angeles Times. - et JOSEPH W.
