ESSENTIALS TO THE
GROWTH OF A CITY,
Editors Herald:
Suppose a number of people now IIv
ing in the east, the north and the west
because of tin* climate, as well ns Uu
onward inarch of progress In the houL
wished o move In this direction, doer
any thinking business man .suppose
for n moment that they would con*
to any particular point In all of the
sunny south with out first ascertain
ing if they did not already know
whether or not thorp are churches nnd
good schools in such a place? Would'nt
those people, before pulling u^ flakes
and disposing of many of tnelr house
hold goods at second hand prices, or
before sacrificing their homes and bus
iness themselves or make special in
quiry with reference to the religious
and educational features of tho pros
pective home? Common sense reason
ing r.nsjvers In the affilrmatlve.
Well then, suppose the prospective
home seekers were to come ana in
vestigate for themselves, who would
they most likely hunt up first, or to
wiint point make for to get the deserv
ed Information? Would they first hunt
superintendent of public
schools? “Not on your life” Mr. Editor
Would they call first on one of the
ministers of the various churchee: No
ir. Who then would they most likely
nquire for and where would they go
to find him? Now, Mr. Editor, don’t
forget that we are discussing the es
sentials to the growth of # a city, and
that while churches and schools are
inevitable essentials there Is another
that holds a most important place in
the list—not newspapers, sir, for any
block-head knows that no city has
thrived and grown, within the past
half century, without the aid of tho
newspaper—and that essential 1 is a
good Board of Trade.
No matter whether the prospective
home seeker comes In person or writes
for the information he desires, he will
feel much more freedom in trying to
obtain it from a chamber of commerce
or board of trade, through Its secre
tary than from a private Individual.
It Is the business of such on organiza
tion to look after these inquiring ones,
