LA GRA.NDE BOY PASSES. j
W 111 Peare and Oue Other Succeed
lint of rinsa tit riirlitann . 1
Will Peare received word yesterday
that he passed the examination of the
state board of optometry. The exami
nation was held In Portland a week
agq. Eighteen took the test and Will
Peare and only one other succeeded
In passing. In some of the branches
he scored one hundred per cent.
Will is to be associated with his
father, J. H. Peare, who is an optician
of 30 years experience. He recently
completed a tour months' course In
the Northern Illinois College of Op
tometry in Chicago which Is recognlz
I ed as one of the Tending colleges of
! the nation. Under lawa passed by the
! last legislature the examinations have
become very rigid and anyone passing
Is abundantly qualified In his profession.
Streets as Necessary Arteries.
As the arteries are to the humna
system, so are the streets to the phys
ical ell bclnjr of n city, says A. T.
Erwin in the American City. A well
planned city is a highly developed or
ganism with one member or district
devoted to places of living, another
to manufacturing, another to mercan
tile pursuits, etc.. A ready 'means of
communication between these Various
members Is a fundamental requisite.,
The Rttvet prnvirt?.! the means of cir
culatlo.j, ajid any la :ur wiik-h cheeks
or Impi'ues its nw is a serious menace
to the iKiblii- Kod.
There are uidny who think that the
mapping onf. of streets Is about all
there In to city plnnniug and that the
laying: of a sidewalk and paving repre
sents the win! total of a street prob
lem. That these are fundamental no
one will deuy, but there are other Im
portant considerations which should.
enter lu which affect both convenience
and beauty. k
The rtty comes into possesslou of Its
streets ui oue of three ways through
public usage during a stated period
(advene possession), by condemnation
and by dedication. Probably IK) per
cent ot our struts In tbe rolddle west
have "become public proper- tirough
the last method. A street so dedicat
ed Involves two Interests, the one
being public, the other proprietary.
In too many "additions" the later has
been tb? active party, and plans are
shaped too largely from the personal
and pecuniary point of view. It be
comes the duty of the city officials,
acting e the trustees of the pxple. to
guide and mold these plans -da in-'

THE WORK OF THE PEOPLE.
York, Neb, Has Park Which Was
i Bought by Inhabitants.
: York, Neb., la a Uttle city about 100
miles dye west from Lincoln, and In'
(he rolling lauds to the south of the
river Platte. It has and has. always
had much of green fields around it.
Some doen years ago It boasted. In a
shamefaced way, of an area of nearly
thlrteeu acres, says E. T. Ilartman In
American City.
Presently a chic streak was struck
In the body politic of 'York, and leaders
sprang up to say that something should
be done and that the old pasture of
fered a good opportunity. A mass
meeting was called, and the Idea was
laid before the people. The ogre "cost"
thmst his head among them In the
shape of a hirsute bend of patriarchal
cut and croaked as usual. "But where
Is the money to come from?" He was
toldthat the leaders had secured an
optio'n at a fair price, that there would
be no touching of the community purse
and that the money would come' from
the people, a dollar frm each citizen
making all possible. The ogre retired,
aud the people went to work.
The land was bought and a land
scape architect employed to develop It
And the people learned to use what
they had provided. Tramping, pic
nicking and even camping became the
vogue, for any reasonable use Is al
lowed so long as the people scatter no
rubbish.
