'The building of the town or city in which you live is the biirccst enterprise in which any man of you will ever have a hand. Your private business, however important, is hut a fragment of the communal interest. Your welfare is bound up with tin happiness and prosperity of your neighbors. The citiz. n who peeks the ommon good is struggling most intelligentlv for his own private- gain. In the Hold of community interests the great Law of the spiritual world is likewise dominant. "Me that eth to save his life shall lose it." That man is greatest among you who serv es. "Most towns grow up by chance, not knowing from one year to the next what the outcome is going to be. everything that is done is apt to be v ronglv done, aimlessly and extravagantly lone. Yet the opportunity lor f..iii:imiln'' and correcting the errors of the past is always ours. "The energies of a community are largely wasted, because of a lack of knowledge of the local needs, and a coordination of the constructive forces which everywhere exist. If a general Is to light a battle, he must have hefore him in advance a man of the territory in which the action is to occur, that he may familiarize himself with every square foot of the ground if possible. If a people are to build :i town or city, they must map out the lines of growth years- in advance that "heir resources may be conserved and their activities wisely directed. Kiciis Arc Needed. "Business firms today will spend thousands of dollars for the services of experts from outside who come in and examine their methods and processes and tell them where improvements are possible. A town ought to do tho same thing. This is a social survey. It means a searching investigation into conditions physical. Industrial, commercial, sanitary, educational, recreational. religious all the conditions affecting the welfare of the people in the community. "Such an Investigation must be the result of an intelligent demand upon the part of all the people, and miu-t bo backed l,v a permanent local organization whoso aim is the welfare of the community. "I cannot make such a .survey from the platform I can only reveal tho need of It. nvtrk out the lines alonu which I Uinic iind emphasize it outfit in proceed, ; the benefits which .

"l'eonomy, beauty. permanency, dignity these are obligations which j ot upon all the people who contribute towards the growth of the town in which they live They can only be secured through cooperative action. The free, bun of the individual must be subordinated to the welfare of the group. A town-planning commission is everywhere an imperative need. This commission must command the confidence of the people, and must be clothed by them with authority to protect the tornmunal interests. Watch Public Health. "?.

Your 'educational equipment is another of your most important community assets. "Are vour schools the bet in the modern world '.' Have you compared them with schools e!uie in the Pnited States and in Kuropo to assure yoursehes that u are dealing fairly with your children'.' "How much money do you pay your superintendent? Wriat are the salaries of vour Haehers? The average teacher's salarv in the whole country i lf.va than that of a farm hand, and I she pays her own board. Ten.s of thousands of teachers in the rural districts are paid annually less than tho cost of feeding and clothing a convict in the state penitentiary. "No man of lirst class ability will remain in the teaching profession unless he be a missionary. The compensation is too niggardly. Women are being employed almost wholly, because they are cheaper. If a woman does the work of a man in tho school room or anywhere else, she ought to have the pay of a man. If she cannot do the work of a man, she ought not to have the job. I respect women and tneir anility, i would open every vo-, cation on earth to women. I set no limit to their career. Put there are departments of school work that men alone ought to till. When a boy reaches the age of It, l.", he ought to be placed under the discipline of strong, clean, wholesome men. and kept there through that period, (live your girls to women, and your boys to men, while they are passing out of boyhood and girlhood into manhood and womanhood. Are your school buildings scientifically constructed? Are they well lighted, well heated, well ventilated. Have you ample playgrounds for your children? Are. they i ,ed as outdoor gymnasia, and sup ised by intelligent directors? T e play of a child determines charaettr as definitely as religion or learning. ltablMi Social Centers. "Your school buildings ought to be established social centers, and kept open every night in the year for the use of your people, ndult.s as well as children. Those buildings ought to be voting booths in every political campaign. "Our school clay is too short; our school year is too short. Five years of a boy's life might be saved and bettor work be done by him. through a wise adjustment of our school system. "Tho public schools must bo related moro intimately to tho irdustrial life of tho community that children may be taught for vocation as wed as for culture. "Survey your school situation, and give your children the best facilities that can be offered. "4. Your municipal government is the last asset of your community upon which I want to lay stress. Other things being equal, the town that has the best local government will forge ahead of any other. Tho old form of town government, modeled after our national constitution, with mayor, council, aldermen, etc., is the least efficient and the most expensive ever invented. It has proved a tragic failure. It is based on politics, .steep. ed in politics, cursed. by politics. Did you ever elect a mayor or an alderman because he was a democrat or republican? Why not elect one because he is bald headed, or sings bass? Tin1 conduct of a town's affairs is not a political enterprise; it calls for export knowledge and ability of the highest order. The mayor of a (lerman municipality is educated for his task in the best universities of the- modern world. He is not a politician; he is an expert. A town is a business corporation and all the icopie are stockholders. It is doing bnsipess alomr nianv linos. It is sm ndimr thousands of tho people's money. It town or city government, vcrsally adaptable. "Is it not Incontestablv It is unltrue that for every the first step p in wisdom town is to turn the searchlight of investigation upon its own bcal needs, that its pcopb may understand them, and be in position to adopt th most effective measures for the common betterment? Put this investigation will simply exhaust itself -n fruitless protest, unless the men and women who are deeply concerneel for the community welfare hind themselves together in advance for vigorous and sustained action. A community welfare association, embracing all other etrganizations. existing for the service of the public biv.irds of trade, chambers of commerce, civic clubs, library associations, school boards, etc.. and including every adult resident, ought to bo organize l in eery town ami city ir- the nation. Such an associa- ! tUn could take hobl of the facts reVe :iled and tbul ited bv :i vlirv eC niiil t formulate a le!inite concrete program of local development. The building of a city, clean, beautiful, permanent, dignified, calls for united action cm the part of the people. Factional strife must e ease. The petty scramble for spoils must be rebuked. The greed of individuals must be leashed and a community consciousness must be created and fostered." iL-riui:MA. visits ii i-:ui-:.

WORK ON RACE TRACK AT SPRINGBR00K PUSHED l'po t Steam Shoxels to HnMi Their Work Hy Augu-t To S!art on Stand. Construction work on the new race J track at Springbrook park is progressing at a rapid rate. Two steam shovels are at work excavating the hill in the rear of the casino building, making ready for the concrete work of the big grandstand. It is thought that this part of the work will bo finished by Aug. 1 .and the erection of the stand begun at once. The circle of the race track has been completed and a definite outline of the perfect oval is easily diseernabie from any point on the hill. The natural amphitheater of the park makes it an ideal location for a course of this kind. From every seat in tho grandstand every portion of the track will bo visible. Tho lirst two days of this week were devoted to interesting soil tests to determine the best combination for tho surface of tho track. This was finally decided to be G5 percent clay, l'j percent loam and 10 percent sand. A fine deposit of suitable clay was found in the west end of the park, near the river. Tho rich loam is obtained from a track of land on the north side of the river. There is sand in abundance in the park. The main entrance is assuming shape and the rustic loading station of the street railway company will soon bo completed. Work on the band shell and pavilian at the west end of the park is progressing satisfactorily.
