MODEL GARDEN CITY
IS MILWAUKEE PLAN.
A Co mm-unity of Three Zones, Indus
trial, Civic and Residential.
To make the joys of country lift* an
fill the year rouud possibility for city
dwellers a model garden city having
three distinct, zones, industrial, civic
and residential, is being laid out in
southern Wisconsin with the expecta
tion that ultimately it will become a
suburb of Milwaukee. Railroads which
run through the site will separate the
manufacturing and industrial eentei
on one side from the residence and
municipal districts on tin* other
Over 1,000 acres of laud have been
pledged to the project, and »,vners are
working together in the development
and execution of the model city plan,
which provides first of all that no
home shall have less than an acre of
thickly wooded ground and that at
least 50 per cent of the trees standing
when the land, a primitive woodland,
is sold shall be preserved.
The combined holdings represent
something over 1,000 acres lying on
either side of the county line road, two
miles west of West Allis, one of the
future suburbs of Milwaukee. Both
the Chicago and Northwestern and the
new belt line connecting the North
western and the Milwaukee roads run
through the property, while the Wau
kesha interurban cars make the resi
dents of the district but half an hour
from the Milwaukee terminal station.
One of the fundamental features of
the plan is to insure a community of
garden homes. The residence district
will be bordered along the county line
road and the road to the north with
the stores, offices and other places of
business. No Store will be allowed in
the heart of the residence district,
which is laid out in one acre lots.
In the industrial district only those
factories will be allowed which will
meet certain requirements of attrac
tive design, as well as modern building
regulations governing sanitation and
other details for the well being of the
employees.
Many of the natural beauty spots in
the residence section will be retained
for the benefit of the community, one
especially picturesque glen overlooking
a natural lake having been transform
ed into an open air theater. A certain
number of lots will be reserved as
playgrounds for children. Arrowheads
and other Indian relics which are be
ing found will be housed in a munici
pal museum.
THE COST OF SMOKE.
Abatement of Nuisance Has Been Agi
tated With Much Effect.
The question of the abatement of the
smoke nuisance has for many years
been agitated without great effect. Ad
mittedly an inconvenience, it has sel
dom been considered that the soot of
the smoke may constitute a real men
ace to the prosperity of the city.
The contrary, indeed, has been the
general contention. The Saturday
Evening Post says iu a recent issue:
“In the United States a great national
election was won on the platform that
abundant black smoke should pour
from all factory chimneys.”
* Some aesthetic souls, it is true, ob
jected to the blanketing clouds of
gloom, but their objections were sneer
ed at as highly impractical.
Then, one day. some’ (me" sat dow’ii
and began to figure out just how much
this luxury of smoke cost His figures,
quite accurate, set most of the “prae
tical” thinking.
Jggre they are; _ ’7
“ London, England, annual damage
from smoke, $26,000,000; Pittsburgh,
$10,000,000; Chicago, $40,000,000; Cin
cinnati. SIOO for eveiw^ family.
Significant, are they'not?
In these estimates, however, only
damage directly done to clothes, build
ings and the cost of washing, painting,
papering, replacing of corroded metal,
damage to merchandise, etc., have been
considered.
A wider and possibly more injurious
effect of uncontrolled smoke has been
discovered by an investigator of the
University of Pittsburgh, who has es
tablished incontrovertible evidence of
cause and effect between the becloud
ing smoke and the acres of dead vege
tation all about the Steel City.—Town

I CIVIC INEFFICIENCY. ’

than he knows what he can do. y

PRACTICAL CIVICS TAUGHT.
Courses Given to High School Boys In
Their First Year.
Because the usual course in civics
is given the last or next to the last
year in high schools, when only a frac
tion of the original classes is left, a
high school in a Pennsylvania city is
giving a course in practical citizenship
to its first year students. Samuel H.
Ziegler contributes an article on this
innovation to the American City, in
which he says:
“In the organization of the work ot
this department several propositions
were kept in mind.
“First.—The ordinary citizen, im
mersed in the task of caring for his
business and providing for his family,

gives at present little thought to civic
problems. Good water, sewrnge dis
posal. parks, playgrounds, treatment ot
vacant lots, paving, street cleaning,
economy of administration, the city
beautiful and all other civic problems
are somebody else’s business.
“Second.—For this reason principally
the government of American cities has
many defects; officials are chosen not
for their fitness, but for their political
availability: good officials rarely re
ceive credit for what they do, and bad
ones are rarely censured
at t!le age of thirteen
br fourteen" are full of energy, which
is usually bent on mischief. Their
■ninds are at that age ‘was to receive
and marble to retain.’ Enthusiasms
then aroused are more liable to make
a permanent impression than at any
other age? *Sm if they" can be Tn ade
conscious of their peculiar responsl
bility as American citizens, if theii
pride as citizens can be aroused the
results are likely to be permanent, and
thus in the course of years there will
gradually be built up a body of citi
zens that will be a tremendous civic
asset to their city.
“With these propositions in view, the
work was organized. All the entering
class take history the first year. So the
first six weeks of the fall term we de
vote the history period to this work. Al
most the Hi-St thing each boy does is to
commit to memory the pledge of Solon:
“ ‘We will never bring discrace to
this our city by any act of dishonesty or
cowardice nor ever desert our suffer
ing comrades in the ranks.
“ *We will right for the ideals and sa
cred things of the city, both singly and
together We will revere and obey the
city’s laws and do our best to incite
a like respect and reverence in those
above us who are prone to annul or set
them at naught.
“ ‘Wewill strive unceasingly to quick
en the public sense of civic duty. Thus
in all these ways we will transmit
this city not only not less, but greater,
better and more beautiful than it was
transmitted to us.’ ”
Mr. Ziegler goes on to describe both
the class work and field work under
taken by the students. The latter in
cludes regular inspections of the city,
ind the boys have been enabled to in
sugurate some much needed reforms.
