I.aek of adequate planning for indus­
trial communities is vigorously dis­
cussed In the Survey by George It.
Ford, city planning expert for Newark
! and lecturer on that subject at Colum-
I Ua university. lie says:
"Large cities are spending millions
. today to widen streets, cut through
new streets, provide parks and pluy-
. grounds in congested areas, ulmost all
i of which might have been saved if
the city had been originally planned
with foresight. Hundreds of millions
are spent on hospitals, asylums, sani­
tariums. jails, health, police and fire de­
partments, a large portion of which
could have been saved if the cities hud
not been so wastcfully and uiiseicu-
lltieally designed.
"For example, if the lot and block
units and dimensions In sections sur-
rounding the factories which moved to
Norwood and Oakley, on the outskirts
1 of t'im inim 1 1. had lieen laid out along
lines which experience has shown to
lie most economical and desirable for
workingmen's dwellings and if provi­
sion had been made for recreation for
grownups as well as for cjilklren, as
suggested by the English garden
j suburbs, the neighborhood of the fac-
I lories would now lie almost exclusive­
ly occupied by the employees In those
factories Instead of largely tiy clerks
ami business men. who commute dally
to Cincinnati. And furthermore, the
j slum problem of Cincinnati itself
would be vastly less urgent.
I “if the lots were cut for the occu­
pant Instead of the occupant being
trimmed to the lot. if streets and road­
ways were designed in location, dlrec
lion, character and width for use and
not according to obsolete precedent; if
transit lines were designed with the
same efficiency that the manufacturer
exhibits in designing Ills own plant; if
people could only realize that money
spent In Bcientilically designed recre­
ational facilities is paid hack in many
ways to the community, then the work­
ingmen's residential area instead of
being an eyesore and a disgrace to the
Community would lie whnt the Eng­
lish gnrdeu suburbs now are—the most
charming and efficient housing areas
to be found anywhere in the world.
"The problem Is simple. It requires,
first, merely an appreciation of the
fact that city planning pays. and. sec­
ond, It requires a cooperative effort on
tile part of the workingmen to secure
such scientific city planning.”
A very observant traveler of unques­
tioned taste observes: "I wish I could
more forcibly Impress upon the mlmls
of the farmer the value of attractive
surroundings. Every farm home should

have a lino house or fancy cottage or

The need of gardens for children, es-
pe« hilly those residing in cities. Is be­
ing more generally rculized every
month, and many progressive cities
and towns are providing such spots for
their youth. In the annual reports of
the S liool Garden Association of New
Volk the president says:
•’After twenty-live years’ experience
as a teacher I am convinced tlmt 'the
iin ari cr,ilion of little chi.dren within
four walls of a classroom for too long
periods Is a great .error. The ..child

to s o llevelop. Therefore school gar

Here Is a moth«* ! of preserving rosea

Is dipped In ll«|tild wax until It Is com­

“The schools, too. have quite general

value. Its training power has been
thought of as incidental to tlie great
work of making better living comli

“No matter how much of value may
be ascribed to the other points of

Integral part of the education of chll

“The school that does not provide

MUST CARE FOR FLOWERS.
Plants Must Be Well Fed, Well Culti­
vated and Not Crowded.
In the Woman's Home Companion
Frank A. Waugh, a well known expert,
writes an article, entitled “First Aid In
the Garden," ail extract from which
follows;
••Prevention is better than cure iu
the garden as In the home.
"First and foremost, beyond all else
Important. Is the ability to resist dis­
ease. This comes with good health and
exuberant growth. Plants which nre
well fed, well cultivated, not over­
crowded and have a proper allowance
of water, and which are therefore mak­
ing sound and vigorous growth, rarely
acquire any serloot plant diseases.
Even insects, strange though it may'
seem, seldom attack a perfectly healthy
plant or. at any rate, they neatly al­
ways appear tirst and most viciously
on those plants or crops already weak­
ened by disease «>r neglect. Tims good
cure and proper general management
are tin* first and most important meth­
ods of combating plant diseases.”
