Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 195, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 18 August 1915 — The City Beautiful. [ARTICLE]

The City Beautiful.

A one-time mayor of New York, George B. McClellan, said: "In a self-governing community, the ultimate object of the government is the happiness of the governed. Something more is needed to make the happy city than health and wealth and wisdom. The city healthy, the city wealthy, and the city wise, may excite satisfaction, complaisance and pride, but it is the city beautiful that compels and retains the love of people." When last the tree men of the South met at Riverside, in the music room of the famous Glenwood Mission inn, an illuminated sign stretched across the stage, which read: "Make your city beautiful and you will learn to love it."
