Expert's Report en Conditions In
Springfield, III., Worth a Lot of
Consideration.
In tho first part of his housing mir
vey of Springfield, 111., for tho Sago
foundation John Ihlder of tho National'
Housing association highly commend
ed tho provalllng typo of houso in
Springfield. In tho third part ho finds
somo features concerning which hid
comments arc not so favorublo.
"If Springfield is to remain what it
now is, a city of homes, it must tako
other measures than merely discourag
ing barracks construction," reads tho
report. "Wo havo reached a degreo
of civilization In America whero an
abundant and convenient supply of
puro water and convenient sanitary
water closets inside tho houso aro
considered necessities In any progres
siva community. Springfield's ideals,
aro up to tho standard. It has dono a.
food deal to bring these twin neces
sities to tho homes of its people. But
It has not dono enough to get tho roi
Bult actually aimed at"
Tho difficulties in tho way of getting
this result aro admitted, "but in tho
caso of a city, as of an individual, to
glvo up becauso of difficulties argues
weakness of character." Instances ore
quoted in tho report wherein thoso dif
ficulties havo been ovorcorno and tho
opinion Is confidently expressed that,
Springfield can ovorcorno them in tho
other districts. But this calls for de
termined effort nnd it is suggested
that it is not enough to lay sewers and
wator malnB in tho streets, Houses
must also bo connected.
Just what tho situation is now and
what progress tho city has made In
tho last fow years will bo learned
through another division of tho sur
vey which, with tho co-operation of
tho city department of health, is just
completing an inspection of all prom
ises in' tho city. But, though its com
ploto results aro not yet available, it
is already soon that many houses aro
still not connected, nlthough' tho op
portunity to do so has been at hand
for years.
Tho housing report saya that the
city authorities should take moro vig
orous action and that thoy should for
bid tho erection of multiplo dwellings
on streets without mains and sewers.
FIRST OF SOCIAL REFORMS
Doctor Eliot Points Outecesslty for
Proper Housing of Inhabitants
of Any Community.'1
Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president
emeritus of Harvard university, is an
old man, but his scent for the basic
evils of our. civilization is much keenot
than that of many younger reformdra
who seem to be turning in a circlo in
stead of getting at tho center of things.
Ono of tho chlof problems of our present-day
civilization, according to Doc
tor Eliot, Is tho "dirty, filthy back al
loy flat."
Boston, Now York, Chicago, ho as
sorts, no longer permit great sections
of their population to "llvo normally."
Tho housing of workmen in theso cit
ies must undergo drastic changes or,
as a nation, wo will run tho risk oi
drifting toward "a country-wido ten
dency to degenoracy." Tho ex-president
could havo strengthened hla
chargo against dofectlvo housing con
ditions of tho United States by citing
not morcly tho largest cities, but also
many of tho smaller industrial towns.
It lias been pretty dcflnltoly estab
lished that slums grow up wherever
largo industries locate, and that an in
dustrial town of 15,000 can havo fully
as bad, if not worse, housing condi
tions as an industrial city of 2,000,000
or moro.
Tho romlndor from tho Cambridge
savant that tho homo, or lack of a
home, is at tho root of many of the
social ills which distress tho country
should servo to bring tho subject of
housing to tho forefront of all socio
reform progress, whero It belongs.
Individual and Communal Health.
Tho health of tho community de
ponds upon tho health of tho citizens,
but tho health of 'each individual aiao
dopends in Bomo moasuro often In
largo measure upon that of other
members of tho community. Health
of tho individual is, therefore, a con
dition that, generally speaking, can
bo maintained only by a combination
of individual and community effort,
nnd its Importnnco is such that in tho
activities of tho city and of tho state
it should hold a prominent place.

Older Cities More Beautiful.
Tho prevalence of artistic ideas la
tho city planning of past ages and la
tho much less successful efforts of the
last generation can bo explained by
tho fact that tho city-planning work;
was dono by either architects or land
scape architects, both of whom were
mainly trained to seo csthotlo values.
But during tho nineteenth, century
theso artists havo otton been ' sup
planted by surveyors or civil engi
neers. This is ono of tho reasons to
explain tho much greater success of
artistic city planning in the past com
pared with tho nowor efforts.

"You had a good tlmo on your vaca

"Fancy that! And you still bo
