FUNERAL DIRECTOR AND Itraml Ao. TOWN PLANNING WHAT IT MEANS A Civic Awakening Among Communities. Town Planning Means the Guidance and Control of Community Building to Insure Social EfficiencyIt Means That the Ideal Town of Yesterday Can Be Built Today. As ail eviJs must sooner or later find their temedy. so our abhorrent methods of city building are finding their remedy in the development of the town planning idea.

Town planning means the guidance and control of community building and rebuilding with a view to insuring the highest degree of human aud social efficiency and the conservation, of all human resources. Communities are built for the people and not people for communities. The cities and towns should therefore be laid out and developed so as to serve the interests of the people. Parks, playgrounds, proper homes, transportation, water supply, amusement centers, art galleries, schools, museums, are essentials of civilized community life. The town and city planner njust co-ordinate these essentials and so humanize his plans as to embrace the highest ideals of present community development backed by a community patriotism that will stand the test of the highest standard of social well being.

The cost of community planning may be measured in dollars and cents, but a more accurate measurement is to be found in the rate of infant mortality and the daily deaths and the amount of ill health and crime that we must suffer and pay for. The well planned garden cities of England and Germany are teaching us the lesson that health, morals and industrial efficiency are possible of control by proper community planning. Statistics show us that density of population goes hand in hand with frequency of deaths, sickness and crime. On every side we find overwhelming evidence of the value of proper community planning and development and the growing desire for better living conditions among the people. The diagnosis is made, the remedytown planningis known and we shall pay a well deserved penalty if we do not apply it.

There is present in every stratum of population an all embracing civic awakening which affects both men and woiroen. Discontent with the present order is everywhere pregnant with great promises for the future. Democracy in its broadest interpretation is taking the place of bureaucracy and plutocracy, while political parties are coming to represent true public sentiment and interest, where partisanship based upon a spoils system is being relegated to the junk heap of social inefficiency. The women are taking a large sharp of the social burden that social inefficiency has created in the past, and they should be among the first to realize the importance of suburbanizing the wage earner and restoring to him the right to a proper home located in fitting surroundings and related to the community in a way that will make his or her presence in the community count for its full value. Town planning deals with the distribution and arrangement of building land so as to avoid congestion.

It deals with the location of shops and factories so as to make them more accessible and yet unobjectionable to the home districts in which the wage earners must live. Community planning deals with transportation and street development so as to provide the greatest facility of distribution of population, accessibility to the industrial and social centers and easy access to food markets necessary to insure a proper standard of living on a moderate income. Town planning deals with sewage systems, water supply, waste disposal systems, so as to insure the greatest protection of the health of the people, while it concerns, itself with the distribution of churches, schools, parks and playgrounds, so as to give every man, woman and child an opportunity to develop spiritually, intellectually and physically. The distribution and development of civic centers are the last but not the least of the functions of town planning, and the presence or absence of these centers determines success or failure of a plan. These are large claims, but they are faithful to the facts.

The large cities present an opportunity for reconstruction, for palliative town planning, while the younger cities and towns have the open country before them, little to rebuild and readjust and a great advantage over the congested city slums which they have now the opportunity to condemn to everlasting death by their superior living advantages and their free opportunity for shaping their future growth to meet future as well AS present needs. The Utopian city of yesterday can be bnilt today, and the future will blame ns or praise us as we realize, as realise we can. the practical Ideals that science and art and a living democracy make possible this dar 3 Tnr PIOHMT Want AOa. EXTENSION OF THE IDEAL COMMUNITY. PLAYGROUNDS OF THE EAST Orientals Are Adopting the idea From America.

A Sacramento Business Man Tells of introducing American System In the EastFilipino Legislature Quick to Appreciate Work Toward Social Betterment. On a recent trip around the world C. M. Goethe, a business man of Sacramento, sought to spread among missionaries and the leaders of the "new east." the message of the American movement for play and recreation. Prior to this journey he had established a playground at an orphanage in Sacramento and helped to organize the playground work of the city.

Mr. and Mrs. Goethe are now backing playground work in Calcutta until a point is reached where the government will take it over, and they are also conJributing the American share toward a playground leader in Korea. Mr. Goethe has written an article for the Survey on the spread of the American recreation movement in the countries in the orient, in which he says that China shows the most progress.

The title of his subject is "Exporting In the course of it he says: "Recreation is a world need. To what extent has our splendid American recreation movement spread to the countries of the orient? There are only a few little beginnings. A start has been made in Manila. Through the co-operation of the Young Men's Christian association and the Playground and Recreation association, a committee was appointed by Acting Governor General Gilbert, who granted an appropriation for an experimental playground in the Tondo, a congested district. Success came at the very first The attendance ran into thousands.

"The effort now is for a complete Manila system, and then should come extension throughout the islands. The AN EXAMPLE FOH THE EAST. Filipino legislature is quick to appreciate work toward social betterment. Members return to their homes with strong convictions that their towns should have the same improvements as the capital. "Talk of the typical Chinese merchant of Singapore or Penang, owner of tin mines and plantations of pineapple and rubber, with one son perhaps at Princeton, another at Oxford, who poured his wealth into China to back the theories of Sun Yat Sen against the Manchu.

How his knowledge of American institutions surprises you, and how eager he is to learn of American playgrounds! The soil here awaits the playground seed. It will grow as luxuriantly as the bananas on his es- tate." Mr. Goethe tells how he has started to organize a playground in a suburb of Calcutta, which will be the first playground in overcrowded India, and goes on to say: "The whole value of such experimental work must be educational. A good field for another playground is Bombay, center of the wealthy Parsees. We criticise them for their towers of silence, where bodies of the dead are exposed to the vultures.

We criticise them for giving funds to hospitals for sick dogs and neglecting human needs. But they are a benevolent people, and they have that shrewd intelligence which gives them the control of great Industries, such as the vast Bombay cotton mills. They need only to have knowledge of American playgrounds to start them at work. "Publicity is needed. When a breakfast food manufacturer wants to demonstrate its merits he plans a campaign costing hundreds of thousands.

If there was an opportunity to make 1 cent a year on each of India's 000.000. how American capital would be poured in! Yet a very modest sum spent in a campaign of education such as the Plnygronnd association conducts in this country would start these people to help themselves." Subscribe for tb Ptmaer.
