Excerpt from The Home and the City On entering a city we at once form an impression. If the city be one of attractive homes, tree-lined streets, with neatly kept and vine-covered cottages, the impression will surely be a good one, for such a city is a grateful contrast to the many towns and cities where this air of homelikeness and neatness is notable for its absence. The individual home owner who maintains a well-kept lawn, tastily displayed shrubs and flowers, with such features of personal charms as a rose-covered arch, bird baths and possibly a productive vegetable garden, is certainly making a contribution to the city's beauty. Every city should have a city plan just as every home should have a definite plan of development; and yet if the homes, the units which make up the city, are not made attractive, the city is sure to fall short of its aspirations. Plan as we may for beautiful boulevards and attractive streets, to which we assume that contiguous buildings and grounds will conform automatically, it still remains in the power of the individual to spoil the effect of the whole scheme by building any kind of monstrosity he chooses or by developing his grounds in the most inharmonious manner, thus preventing a satisfactory working out of the scheme. "The exterior of your house is not private property," says Ruskin, and this we should all realize; and in planning our places we should have the welfare of the entire street in mind. To assume that there would eventually be a regulation of housing architecture is too remote for conjecture, and yet one cannot help but wish that such regulation were possible. Often when a portion of a street or certain districts are developed by the same company, the houses are built in a uniform type of architecture, study having been given to the street or section in order to produce a harmonious and thus a pleasing effect. That these developments win the admiration of all who see them is proof that a certain amount of regulation is desirable. Some, however, should be left for personal expression. Good architecture should be a characteristic not alone of the larger and more expensive home, for the small house can be designed in just as pleasing manner as the larger one.

Excerpt from Our City: A City Reader Educators are just beginning to realize the great difference between the life Of the city child and that Of the country child, and apparently but little effort has yet been made to put the former into touch with his com plicated environment. The reading material available for the young in our schools is written or compiled almost entirely with the country child in view. The authors Of this book have tried to supply the need Of the city child by furnishing material which shall give him some knowledge of the organized life of the city, an ideal Of city conditions, and an idea Of the good things, which the city makes possible. Our City is designed for use in the home and in children's clubs as well as in school - in every place where there is a child who can read. The book is designed to stimulate the child to think as well as read. At the close of each chapter are ques tions which the pupil is to answer orally or in writing. They are SO framed as to lead the child to observe and to reflect upon the subjects which have been brought to his attention. The teacher will gain additional insight into the lives of her class by considering the answers given to these queries.

Excerpt from Our Home City The west is growing fast, and there is room for our new town, and an excellent chance for growth. Finer villages, towns, and cities than any on the map will yet be built in the United States. This does not mean larger. While still keeping close to practical enactments we may yet take the best from other cities in the way of good government. It is easier to build a new house than to remodel an old one; and 'better to start out living under good laws than to struggle for their introduction afterwards. There is plenty of unknown ability to design and build a model municipality. Engineers, architects, landscape men, electricians - all the wonder workers who have given us of their best in many fields can join in this city, and not only make a career for themselves, but a contribution to American progress. We do not need the old established men. They would charge us two dollars for doing the work, and three for their reputation. Those with a living to make, men and women in search of a new home, will be our chosen ones. One of the essential beliefs of a real democracy is that there is always plenty Of un discovered talent ready to do any kind of work about as well as those who are already famous. We have seer) many beautiful expositions since the best one at Chicago. There have been Buffalo, Omaha, St. Louis, Portland, Jamestown, Seattle, and soon there will be one at San Francisco; but their beauties have been only for a season. Our architects and engineers can design a miniature exposition that will be permanent, and that will ever grow better looking. By planning in advance each new feature can be added when the time comes, when the money is ready, when the people say, Yes.

Excerpt from A Home Geography of New York City Wholesome pride in one's home, one's immediate surroundings, and one's own city engenders not only a love for this circumscribed area, but opens the heart for the larger love, - the love of country and of humanity. Home geography emphasizes man's intimate connection with surrounding geographical features and, his dependence upon them; it shows how man utilizes the opportunities Offered by nature to establish relationships with her; it dwells upon man's expediency in turning to profitable account the resources of his environment; and it also arouses in the learner a feeling of reverence for those responsible for the great changes wrought, and for the institutions that helped to effect those changes. Home geography does not restrict itself to present conditions alone, it concerns itself with the past. While it gives us a faithful picture of the present, it describes the local conditions of former times. In other words, it is not only an outlook into space but the starting point for history. The value of home geography lies in the fact that it enables the teacher to present concretely the geographical features of the vicin ity. With these features, thus Observed, as basal ideas, the learner can be taught by analogy to get a clear idea of such forms as do not come within his immediate experience. In short, home geography is practical geography, and should, therefore, be the preparatory step to geography in general.

Excerpt from Our Happy Home: Or the Family Circle Our Happy Home! One of the sweetest words in the English language, is Home; be it ever so humble, there is always connected with it some of the most pleasant associations of life. "There is no sweeter spot than home Upon this bleak and barren earth; There are no purer joys below Than sparkle round the peaceful hearth. At home the wearied one may rest Awhile from tasks of worldly strife; At home the care-worn soul may find A shelter from the storm of life." With what pleasure does the aged sire, upon whose brow is stamped the impress of seventy winters, relate the scenes of his youth.
