No existing organization can do the work as well as a 
new organization formed for the purpose of beautifying 
the city unless such organization already has ever)' mem¬ 
ber of the city in it. The membership fee should be so 
low as to exclude no one. Some will give large contribu¬ 
tions. 
Persons living in the poorest section of the city and 
under the worst conditions should be especially urged to 
join. Results are sure to follow. Lawns will take the 
place of grassless yards; gardens and flowers the place of 
unsightly, unsanitary and unproductive back yard dumps. 
Whole streets will be lined with well kept lawns and well 
planted homes. Coming in closer contact with the soil 
and in the open air and sunshine will make the people 
nobler, better citizens. Whole families will become 
interested in making the home the prettiest as well as the 
best place on earth. Children will be occupied in gardens 
instead of spending their time on the corners of the street. 
The city of attractive homes, well-kept streets and healthy 
citizens will rapidly become the city beautiful.
