WORK THAT COUNTS 'state christian endeaaor. IMPROVEMENTS IN A JERSEY TOWN INSIDE AND OUT. Clvle Advancement an Seen nt Mont Clair Hotter Street anil Removal ol Garbage Imurot el Train Service. SewliiK School For Chililren. Much work is being done in cities and towns which does not receive n proper amount of credit. This is be cause of the unobtrusive way in which It is done in ninny instances. The true value of suh work would best be recognized if it were suddenly to come to a stop, says Varpraret Mo net In Municipal News. Work of this nature Is being done by the Town Improvement association of Montelair, N. J., a place to make one draw a deep breath of satisfaction in contemplating it as a residence. This association, organized In 1S94, is working along the lines laid out In the beginning except in what Is being done for children, the latter being regarded as an important advance step. Othei work has to do with matters which make life comfortable in a small town And this is the work the benefit of which would best be seen were it sud denly to stop. It is like that prosaic matter of getting three meals a day for the members of one's household. No one thinks of talking much about it, yet havoc would ensue if it were overlooked twenty-four hours. The ordinance providing for prompt removal of snow from sidewalks was drafted and pushed through by the ef forts of the Montelair Town Improve ment association, a work the good of which will not be denied by city folk who go anywhere iu the country tc spend Sunday and who have to make an early train back Monday morning regardless of a blizzard overnight. Street signs guiding the stranger tc his destination were secured by this same agency after efforts extending over four years. Through the work of the association, assisted by Robert M. Boyd, assemblyman, the amended law providing for the collection of garbage and ashes in towns under certain con ditions was approved by the legisla ture. This is a good measure, but is one that needs still further attention, some dilliculty having arisen iu the disposal of garbage. As the town is allowed to contract for only one year at a time, it is a difficult matter to find any one willing to equip himself with horses and wagons without a guaran tee for the work for a longer period than twelve months. From the beginning the association has worked for Improvements in rail road service. Trains have been added from time to time and the schedule altered to suit the convenience of the public. The surroundings of the sta tion, too, have been improved. Where once were heaps of ashes and old lumber one now sees flower beds and grass. Instead of a plaza, dusty in summer and muddy In winter, there are now good pavements. Another line of work pursued by the association is the movement by the health inspector to place in tenement houses distinct rules, printed in Italian and English, to assist tenants in living In a sanitary maner. A sewing school Is held every Saturday in the old li brary building from 0:30 to 11:30. This Work was undertaken three years ago and ha? become quite systematized to day. From sixty to sixty-five children attend these classes. They commence with the simplest patch, and last year the older girls made shirt waist suits for themselves. Last summer the school board assisted this work in a financial way. Cooking classes have been introduced and met with success In order to make this work thorough ly practical only the plainest kind of cooking is taught. Following up this work of teaching the children to carry usefulness into their own homes, the association later gave seed to the pupils of the Chest nut street school and offered a prize for the best home garden. In many case9 the children not only supplied their own families with vegetables, but had some to soil. The enterprise of one tot is worth recounting. Having no plot of ground in which to plant her seed, she sowed it in an old dish pan which she kept on top of a wood pile. An effort is also proceeding to have the town authorities approve the New Jersey law permitting the ap pointment of a tree planting commis- Bion and thus to place all the trees of Mont'''.nir under centra! cnntml.

A class which should bo beneficial in its influence has been formed by the Young Men's Christian association in New York, 'writes the Pittsburg Dis patch's correspondent Underlying It is the idea that good citizenship is en-1 hanced by the intelligent comprehen- Bion of the principles which underlie the building of a great city or town in ' so far as these pertain to art. While: the matter of professional art training is left to other classes, this class tin-! dertakes to teach the duty which a community owes to itself to beautify its surroundings. This instruction cov-; ers the art of various periods, illus trated by a chalk talk, followed by present day questions relating to park ; schemes and buildings and the work : of the municipal art commission. One' evening in the week the class meets at ' the Metropolitan Museum of Art to 'take an object lesson in the subjects; covered by the chalk talk.
