Mayor Mitchell is determined that the College of the City of New York shall justify its title. He wants it to put the soft pedal on Latin, Greek and other frills and get down to the brass tacks of modern municipal life. “The City college,” he says, “should look to training men for public ser-| vice, should give emphasis to train-| ing in business administration, and| should regard as its peculiar provinee | the training of young men for suc- cessful participation in the municipal | and commercial activities of the ecity, as opposed to the academic training of the conventional college.” What the mayor seeks to do in New York City is precisely what the University of Wisconsin has been doing. That institution boldly ignored precedent | and set about to train the young men of Wisconsin for participation in the public life of the state. How well it has performed the task was indicated last summer when a train load of eastern mayors, governors and educators went to the university to learn something about doing their ! own work. The time is coming when every state and city college supported by public funds will dis- card the hobbling traditions inher- ited from English universities, and proceed to prepare their students for life as it is lived here and mnow. There should always be opportunity for the youth whose instinet impels him along cultural lines; but that is no reason for spending public money in forcing the culture of other lands and times upon boys and girls who need preparation to fit them for voting, officeholding and modern business. Deserves the Office. The action of Henry Rines in con- | ceding the Republican nomination ! for state auditor to J. A. O. Preus is gratifying to friends of both. At no time during the contest has the result been in doubt, but the recount has nevertheless been of great value | to the state, for it has brought out primary weaknesses and called atten- tion to the fact that clerks and judges of election must possess an ordinary amount of common sense. Elections are of much importance and only competent officials should he called upon to have charge of the polls. Preus is a brilliant and wor- thy young man and deserves the state auditorship, a position which he is sure to fill creditably.

Streets Should Be Given Proper At- tention In Every. Detail. However well a city may be planned, its avenues laid out-and its parks pro- vided in liberality, it will-fail of; readiz- ing its full advantages unless jita streets are properly embellished, kept clear of nuisances and given proper at- tention in every detail. Such embellishment consists, IOnE| other féatures, of ‘boulevards, esplan: ades, bridge and park approaches, wa- ter gates, quays, plazas, squares, bay fronts, terraces, monuments, statuary, fountains, trees, grass plots, artistically designed electroliers, trolley poles.and other structures and details. The combination of such fegtures makes up the impressiom given by the streets, and just at this peint careless- ness, neglect or inadequacy in the treatment of small structures or other objects is likely to destroy the whole effect and spoil what has.been accom- soothing and -delicate the skin. ing cleanness which is labor and expense. A rigid policy of exclusion of all un- necessary objects and the ornamenta- tion or concealment of those that must remain’ should be followed. The most careful attention must be given to each.| IVORY SOAP ‘HE yo-tmg», old people of T today have used Ivory Soap along, % many-for ugwanfs of thirty years.

One of the most important powers a city can have if it is to prevent the de velopment of slum areas in the future. urges the Bulletin of ‘the National -Housing - Assoclation, is that giving it the right to control the layout of streets beyond its borders.

If, for in stance. house numbers are to be of a er hand, if the streets are too 'narrow. or if no main arteries are provided, or if the lot units are too small, the specu. lators may make quick sales to small buyers, but the city will have a long future full of trouble when it absorbs the new, misfit development. Toronto has provided against all these difficulties by securing a city and suburbs planning act, which gives it the power to control all subdivisions within five miles of the city limits with respect to the width and number of streets and the direction in which they run and the width and depth of lots. Pennsylvania has a similar law for cities of the third class, giving them jurisdiction for three miles be voud their borders .

Perhaps the most important features | of civic embellishment are the boule- vards, esplanades, plazas and the use}! of grass plots, shrubbery and trees on the streets. Trees and other vegetation are high- ] ly desirable features of civic embellish. | ment and should be employed wher ever it Is possible to utilize -them. They temper the heat and the. glare; afford agreeable shade, relieve the:eye, improve the air, reduce the violence of 34 the wind and limit thé force of| the rain, conceal defects and necessary structures, lessen the dust, improve the vistas and .offer unending sources Among the various structures ;andi minor utilities which are a_necessaryj period. which must be provided for and treat-4 3 ed in the proper spirit are tramw: stations, elevated railroad structures. subway entrances, safety isles, meteor-’| ological stations, news stands, comfort stations, advertising kiosks, electroliers, i trolley poles, letter boxes, fire and po-{ lice alarm boxes, hydrants, street signs;g and various forms of advertising signs. The proper method of treating most of these items has already been suffi- ciently indicated, but a further con- sideration of some of the items may. be useful, for it is always possible to treat all such equipment in such a: way as to make it serve an sesthetic as well as a utilitarian purpose. Bt Trolley poles in cities using the aver- bead system, if properly designed,;can, be made a highly ornamental feature of street equipment, despite their con- demnation by -many - landscape archi- tects. Indeed, certain civic engineers, after struggling with the problem of the street car on beulevards and being unable to solve it, suddenly “turned about and -announced the impressive discovery that the. street- car-was in reality a decorative feature of the first. aesthetic importance. The same. naive- te may be expected when the effect.of sultably designed trolley poles is;dls-| covered.—Frank Koester.

'Two-thirds of them are women and children who have been visiting friends and relatives in Ger- many and Austria, unaccompanied by male relatives.
