SMALL CITY: The divisions of govern- ment adopted for the Commission form of government throw into relief the main services performed for a community by its elective and ap- pointive officers. They are: 1. Pub- lic affairs. 2. Finances. 3'. Public Works 4. Public Safety. 5. Parks and Public property.

Some cities are able to maintain their own municipal reference departments, which give such cities all available information on the failures and successes of other cities. The state bureau of the Extension Division of the Uni- versity performs this service for such cities as cannot maintain such a library, thus giving a clearing house for municipal experiments and experience. CHART SHOWING LOCATION OF UNIVERSITY EXTENSION ACTIVITY"""""" IN MILWAUKEE DISTRICT. TOTAL NUMBER OF CLASSES IN DISTRICT -37 JANUARY I- 1911 (2.) Public Service Correspondence Courses. Of the 300 cor- respondence-study courses offered during the past year, in which a greater number of students are participating than were in resident attendance at the seat of the Uni- versity, there are several explicitly designed to be of ser- vice in the public welfare. There has been offered a course of instruction at a nominal cost to official road supervisors, which is soon to be extended to town boards and municipal road officers. Eventually the University hopes to offer such courses for bakers, barbers, and others whose work affects the health of the community. (3.) Vocational Teaching in the Schools. This work inaugu- rated "in two cities is now being extended to apply the principle to the public schools throughout the state. In the smaller cities a number of schools can cooperate to make up a practical itinerary for traveling instructors. PUBLIC SOURCES Wisconsin Organized for Civic Advance (4.) Instruction by Extension Lecturers. 217 lectures were given in the past year to audiences in 71 towns, reaching 26,000 people. Total number of people reached through lectures and commencement speakers, 46,000. 92 lectures for special organizations such as women's clubs, business men's associations, civic clubs, boards of trade and high schools. Many of these lectures affected directly or in- directly the general welfare attitude of communities in which they were given. (5.) Department of Debating and Public Discussion. Debat- ing material loaned in the form of package libraries of mailable size, through the medium of public libraries, and information furnished on public discussions to 213 locali- ties on special subjects such as commission government, woman suffrage, income tax, parcels post, initiative and referendum, and municipal ownership. (6.) Bureau of Civic and Social Center Development. Expert in charge who personally cooperates and advises with people of various communities concerning equipment, or- ganization, programs, supervision, use of public buildings for public recreation and entertainment, development of parks and organization of clubs and associations, and assists churches, chambers of commerce, etc., on non-parti- san community problems. (7.) Lantern Slides, Well selected sets of lantern slides on educational subjects with ample descriptions placed at the disposal of 24 schools as a traveling collection. (8.) Study Clubs. Directed study outlines, supplemented by lectures, for the women's clubs, school masters' clubs, and other study clubs of the state. (9.) Civic Institute, developed in one large city to enable those, officially or unofficially engaged in social or munici- pal work, to keep abreast of the times, held a twelve weeks' course in 1911. The university plans to develop civic institutes of this character in other cities of the state. CIO.) Vocational Institutes. A Bakers' Institute was held in one large city with a program by experts designed to assist in the solution of practical and technical problems through the service which scientific knowledge can render, largely attended by master and journeymen bakers. Other similar institutes are to be developed for vocations and enterprises that are essentially in the class of "Public Utilities." (11.)

EXHIBITS EXHIBITS SECTION "A"-CITY WELFARE BULLETIN Chicago School of Civics and Philanthiopy Because they "talk for themselves" the exhibit method of graphic publicity has now been widely adopted for presenting city welfare data. Indeed budget exhibits are advocated by Bureaus of Efficiency as the best means of acquainting citizens with the affairs and progress of government. Rarely is a con- ference of note held on a public subject without pertinent illus- trative exhibits. Exhibits of child welfare, city planning, hous- ing, health, safety appliances and industry are familiar examples. The list given on page 13 specifies some leading exhibits of different types. SOCIAL MUSEUMS AS EXHIBIT CLEARING HOUSES On the close and break up of such exhibits much valuable material expensive in the preparation, remains on hand and the best of it is very likely to find its way into a Social Museum. The Pittsburgh Survey Exhibit of 1909, for example, was deposited in the Harvard Social Museum; civic exhibits at the St. Louis Exposition, after a short use at the Municipal Museum of Chicago, were deposited in the Chicago School of Civics Social Museum. For educational imiiortanee of the Social Museum see brochure on "The Social Museum as an Instrument of University Teaching" by Prof. F. G. Peabody, Director of the Dept. of A])i)Iied Kthies.

Substantial equipment and extensive collec- tions illustrating Social Settlements, Housing and City Planning, Industrial Conditions, Social Surveys, etc. Large library of reference Such a museum is undertaken on the assumption that the most immediate need of students concerned with the social tjuestion is, not merely enthusiasm or symi)athy or self-sacritice or money, but wisdom, discretion, the scientitic interpretation and comparison of facts; and that this application of the induc- tive method may be encouraged by setting l)efore the student in graphical illustrations the evidences of progress in various countries and putting at his command the fund of experience accumulated in various parts of the world. The remoteness of the United States from other countries and the brevity of its social history make this provision of illustrative material all the more necessary. Germany has much to teach the United States of municipal administration, but may learn much from America concerning the free conciliation of labor- disputes, the treatment of juvenile delinquents, or the work of social settle- ments. England offers to Americans instruction in trade-uni(niism and industrial co-operation, but must turn to the United States for lessons in the reform of the drink-traffic and the checking of the drink-habit. For all such purposes of comparative study the Social Museum provides what a museum of comparative zoology offers to the naturalist, and becomes the corrective of hasty judgments and the prerequisite of judicious conclusions. — Prom Prof. Frances G.

A splendid campaign of civic e(l\i- cation is being carried on by tlie Woman's City club in co-operation with the park commissioners, the board of education, and tlie city health department. The basis of this campaign i.s a city welfare exhibit which utilizes the resources of the remarkable child welfare exhibit given at the Coli- seum a year ago. This is now being taken to the people in various parts of the city, and in connection with it are given lectures, moving ])ii'- tures, singing, and folk dancing. American cities have been mis- governed and maladministered Vie- cause the people lacked the city sense and knowledge or awakened interest in city problems and affairs. The city welfare campaign will have an influence both wide and deep in stimulating the intelligent self- help of the people. City officials will be held to a higher standard of efficiency, wise city policies will get necessary support, the heavy burden of spoils politics will be lightened. The city welfare campaign should be taken into every district of the city and kept up as a permanent process of democratic education. — Chicago Tribune, April 12, 1912.

The achievements of the Tuberculosis prevention societies in this method of welfare campaigning are notable. All of the leading State societies have traveling exhibits of some kind. Many national organizations for welfare, as well as schools of philanthropy have tried or are adopting this graphic method of interpreting civic needs. As the Chicago, New York and St. Louis City Clubs have organized material for exhibits of civic weMare, it is to be hoped that some rotary system may be adopted for conunuous display in a succession of cities somewhat like tlie rotary art exhibition sj-stem that helps to make our Art Institutes so popular. SOCIAL NEEDS OF A MODERN CITY A traveling social exhibit, prepared partly by the students of the School of Civics and Philanthropy, was sent last year to the University of Illinois, to Beloit College, to the University of Wisconsin, and to the University of Michigan, in each case under the auspices of the insti- tution's department of Sociology or of Economics. At Madison, the exhibit was displayed in some five or six centers outside of the Univer- sity, as well as in the University Museum. This spring it goes to De Pauw University and McCormick Theo- logical Seminary. It has been shown at the State and National Con- ferences of Charities and Corrections, and is available for general city welfc^e exhibits. ,yhis exhibit is shown on a 15 wing frame display fixture, as shown below. Each wing is 5 ft. high and 3 ft. wide. No rental is charged, but all expenses of carriage or of damage (if any) must be covered. Instructions given enable the frame to be quickly set in position. Address, Extension Dept. Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy. For style of frames see in picture on page 9. ILLUSTRATED SOCIAL NEWS As a direct outcome of this exhibit there ha.N been increased interest on the part of the college students in social subjects. From several of these universities has come the invitation to the school to enter into a sort of Social Exhibit exchange. This contemplates co-operative prep- aration of special photographs, maps, specimens, etc., at the school and forwarding in turn from one university to another. A number of organizations in Chicago including the United Chari- ties, 111., Children's Home and Aid Soc, Chicago Tuberculosis Institute, Visiting Nurses' Association, Elizabeth McCormick Memorial Fund, State Factory Inspector, Chicago Health Department, Chicago Sanitary Inspector, Muncipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium and others are working in harmony with the School preparing exhibits, illustrating phases of their work that can be used for such traveling purposes. Further information in regard to this may be given at a later date. 21 EXHIBITS Traveling Civic Exhibits SUPPORTS AND UNIT FRAMES BEING INSTALLED Each Exhibit Is 22x28 Inches (Cut loaned by Educational Exhibition Co., manufacturer of this exliibit system) EXHIBITS COMMERCIALLY MADE Organizations that prefer to avail themselves of expert constructors of thij form of welfare exhibits are referred to the illustrated catalogues of the following firms.

Lake St. ^^^^^^^^^^^^V Miss 1.\Niv Aduams THE DELIiA ROBBIA BABY Customary Device of these Exhibits SECTION B-CITY WELFARE BULLETIN Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy The Child Welfare Exhibits spreading with such enthusiasm over the country, are effective instruments for promoting civic welfare, picturing as they do, little known city social conditions and suggesting remedies or ideals, private philanthropy or organized public effort may realize. The child and posterity is an appeal that finds a quick and powerful response, both in time and money, from any community with public spirit. The administrative work of the exhibit and the research committee work on such subjects as Homes, Work and W'ages, Laws and Juvenile Courts, Parks and Playgrounds, Public Schools, Libraries and Museums, Public Health, Philan- thropy, Neighborhood Associations and Clubs, afford wide scope for the intelligent interest and effort of a large number of workers. The social energy thus unlocked in behalf of youth is applied later to city welfare problems generally. In the words of a prominent social worker, quoted in a recent article on "Child Welfare Exhibits": "We are all of us learning, for the first time, what place our work has in the city's life. We have worked over our exhibits, trying to state in concrete terms our purpose and our success ; then we see our organization placed here beside all the others, and we find out how inadequate we all are, and yet how important, each at our own job. We find out where there is overlapping and where we can use each other in the future. And then we walk over to the section on industrial conditions, or on housing, or on infant mortality, and we see the big underlying problems, that we haven't any of us touched yet. And we realize that no private organization ever can touch those problems. Only all the people, acting for themselves through their repre- sentatives, can begin to make a dent in them." — National Municipal Review, April, 1912. NOTE. — This section on Child Welfare Exhibits is issued as a pamphlet of in- formation by the Chicago Child Welfare Committee, which temporarily is undertaking extension use of its exhibit material in association with the Extension activities of the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy. The data is also printed here because of its obvious bearing on city welfare propaganda. 25 EXHIBITS Child Welfare Exhibits GENERAL CHARACTER The wall display of photographs and signs, the printed literature and prize contests, the models and full size reproductions even of home interiors, the live exhibits in action (section demonstration), the choruses, drills, band and orchestral music, the athletic games and festival exhibitions, conferences, sermons, addresses, and motion picture shows, ofifer something to attract, interest and instruct the peasant immigrant, the cultured and philanthropic, the child himself, the plain citizen and the city official.

As Miss Addanis, the Chairman, stated: "Not since the World's Fair have so many men, women and children worked together for the accomplishment of a single aim as have the "2,000 volunteers who were responsible for the Chicago exhibit. They came together in the stirring conviction that the city that most cares for its children, will be the greatest city."

EXHIBITS Child Welfare Exhibits ELSEWHERE Kansas City (Mo.). — Convention Hall, Nov. 3 to 11, 1911; attendance, 100,000; general fund about $7,000. Was under auspices of Municipal Board of Public Welfare. Used 200 screens from New York and Chicago Child Welfare E.xhibits, besides making new special mate- rial, including 150 screens. Director of Exhibits, Miss A. L. Strong. RESULTS. — "As a result of the exhibit in Convention Hall it ought to be possible for the Board of Public Welfare, and the other remedial agencies of the town, to depend on a public backing in a way that was out of the question before. If the Exhibit does not produce tangible results in bettering conditions in Kansas City, then the impression that it made on its visitors has been wrongly estimated." — Prom Kansas City Times. DESCRIPTIONS. — See official Handbook and article: Spirit of Youth and Child Welfare Exhibit, Kansas City; Illus., Survey, Dec. 2, '11.

Organizing. — A small group or committee impressed with the need for informing the public on matters of urgent common concern by exhibition methods calls a meeting or meetings of the most influ- ential, public-spirited persons, representing a variety of interests and occupations to form a general committee, to consider finances, to discuss the most effective time and place for holding the exhibit; and to elect officers. Finances. — Financial support or a guarantee fund should be pledged before the exhibit is attempted, whether by individual subscriptions or by appropriations from the city departments and civic organiza- tions. As the object is purely philanthropic and educational, no receipts should be counted upon, although some will flow in. Co-operators. — Abundant and enthusiastic volunteer helpers for com- mittee work, and willing co-operation from public boards, particu- larly the School Board, of course, for Child Welfare Exhibits, and from private social and civic organizations, are essential to success. Time and Place. — The exhibiton hall should be of such size and shape as to provide not only room for wall exhibits and booths, but an ample central space for drills, athletic games, choruses and enter- tainments; wide surrounding aisles, and if possible, gallery seating accommodations for spectators. The exhibition period naturally should be at a time when the schools are in session and the children consequently organized for participation; also when no tense politi- cal or other distracting situation is dominant. Administrative Committee. — To a small executive body should be dele- gated by the General Committee full power to act. Besides the principal officers of the Exhibit — Chairman (or President), Vice- Chairman, Treasurer, Secretary and Director — the heads of the more important or general committees of arrangement, such as of publicity, exhibits, explainers, entertainments, conferences, etc., should be on this committee to keep all lines of activity closely related. The latter keep in close touch with chairman of the Section Committees. — For large exhibits, at least, much invaluable aid is gained by subdividing it into subject sections, such as Homes, Settlements, Recreation, Health, Schools, etc., and by placing a committee of experts in charge of each not only to undertake re- search for the Section, but to have charge of it during installation and exhibition. Publicity. — -The Chicago Publicity Committee, as the Chairman reports, used every conceivable form of publicity — bill boards, painted boards, street car and elevated car and elevated platform signs, announce- ment leaflets, circulars, passes to school children (400,000), posters (specially designed by local artists), magazine articles, press agentry, display advertising, muslin banners changed daily, amusement column advertising, handbook publication, prize contest cards, pro- grams, pulpit and platform announcements. A comprehensive report on extent and cost of this service is available at the Chicago office, 31 W. Lake St. The recommendation of the Committee to other communities is to use every possible, publicity measure for the three weeks preceding the performance, but to cut down very materially a few days after the opening. It will then carry itself if supported by the printing of daily programs in the amusement columns and the services of a good press. 35 EXHIBITS Planning Welfare Exhibits Director. — A trained, experienced exhibition manager, understanding the technique of exhibit making, should be secured if possible, both to provide correct materials, assistance and guidance for the physical execution of the plans of the committees, including appointments for the programs as planned, and to attend to other matters of physical management, such as superintendence, firemen, guards, cleaners, porters, etc. Exhibit Construction. — An architect is of course necessary to design and erect temporary stage, booths, decorations, etc., for large exhibits to give harmonious treatment to the whole. Wide spaces for aisles and in the booths are important. These spaces and the section lines and as much other detail as possible should be blue printed and copies placed in the hands of all committees at the outset, so that all preparations can be correctly adjusted and pro- portioned. Sizes of photographs, labels, signs, backgrounds, and arrangement, Bhould follow standards found economical by previous exhibits. For these details of exhibit making see subsequent pages. Explainers. — A competent force of volunteer guides, intelligent on the meaning of the different exhibits and sections, should be trained by preparatory lectures, for constant service. They can be arranged in shifts of four hours each and should cover every section each hour the exhibit is open. There were 1,000 at the Chicago exhibit. Those speaking several languages wore flags as badges to designate the languages spoken. A central "Information" desk is usually the headquarters for the explainers. Entertainments. — The committee arranging these schedules will have a large responsibility. It must see to it that the general programs for choruses, athletic events, folk games, drills, tableaux, pageants, moving pictures, and music, come in proper order, as well as the live exhibit demonstrations in the smaller section spaces, and that both are announced correctly in the daily program sheet. Special occasions or festival days have also to be provided for in con- junction with the committee on Conferences. — These include large public gatherings, held in the evening, addressed by prominent speakers, and the daily meetings of experts in various lines of welfare, to discuss the problems connected with their work and the directions in which advance is most needed. The best papers or discussions should be gathered for printing and placing in libraries. INEXPENSIVE SMALL EXHIBITS The plan of organization for a small city is in briefer form than for a large city or child welfare exhibit. The same general activities and features prevail. To illustrate how inexpensively comparatively, and at the "same time how successfully a home-made exhibit can be carried through, the following comprehensive statement of the manage- ment of the Hampshire County Child Welfare Exhibit at North Hampshire, Mass. (20,000 population), will encourage small communities. 36 EXHIBITS A Small City's Satisfactory Plan NORTHAMPTON. MASS. "The committees for the Hampshire Child Welfare Exhibit numbered seven: — an executive committee numbering eight, and others on survey, program, time and place, exhibits, finances and publicity. I think these are self explanatury pxcopt the survey, which made a survey of the educational facilities and needs of the county. The expense of the publicity committee is comparatively small for most of the newspaper work was done in the reading columns; a banner across Main Street, and programs distributed throuarh the school children, with illustrated cards sent out to the country stores, were other means of publicity. The committees num- bered ten to twenty members, chosen to interest all classes and to represent the near-by villages. As a result the work was done by a very few. The number engaged in the work of preparation numbered not more than fifteen, all volunteers. At the time of the exhibit, there were probably a hundred, including the explainers. PART OF THE HAMPSHIRE COUNTY CHILD WELFARE EXHIBIT In the City Hall, Northampton, Mass., 1912 "The ('xliil)it was held in City Hall, rent free, covering about 3,500 square feet, including Hospital and Rest Room.s, but not the stage. There were 75 screens used. The stage was used for games, drills, etc., while the formal program was carried out in High School Hall, some two minutes distance. "The cost, met by subscriptions, and exhibiting organizations, most of which paid for their screens, was divided as follows: Director (salary gift of one woman) $200 Handbook (gift of one man) 125 Screens (material and lettering) 195 Installation (carpentry, wiring, janitor, etc) 122 Publicity 55 Program 110 Office (express, telephone, etc.) 40 Total $847 "The initiative toward the exhibit was taken by the Hampshire Branch, Mass. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, which invited other organizations to send representatives to a meeting to discuss the matter of holding an exhibit. The length of time used in preparation was really less than a month. All the exhibiting societies had the data at hand, or the work could not have been done in such a short time. "The response of the community, and also that of Amherst and Smith colleges, was so immediate that I doubt whether six months' preparation would have given us a markedly better exhibit. I would not advise any other community to try the ex- periment, however." Courteously furnished by Mrs. Alice B. Montgomery, special agent of the Mass. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, which developed the exhibit. 37 EXHIBITS Exhibit Making and Cost The physical parts of an exhibit require much time and money to manufacture. To produce them economically the following stock facts and methods should be considered. Outside of the special three dimension exhibits, models, repro- ductions, etc., panels of uniform size, four feet wide and eight feet high, are usually adopted as the unit of exhibit. On them are mounted the photographs, maps, charts, placards, statements, illus- trating a specific subject — one subject to a panel. Six hundred and fifty such panels or screens representing the work of the New York and Chicago Committees were shown at the Chicago Exhibit. These are rentable, and represent subjects generally applicable, but most communities will wish to supplement them by screens on local conditions made new for the occasion. Exhibit Loans.- — Before undertaking to prepare new material, committees on exhibits with a view to borrowing should consult the list of civic ehibits, also of Special Child Welfare screens from the Chicago and New York Exhibits as in- deed on previous pages are rented at $3.00 per screen, f. o. b. Address the Chicago Child Welfare Exhibit Committee, 31 W. Lake St., Chicago, from which also a few exhibits in the round — such as standards of clothing, box furniture, children's toy shop, health models, etc., can be secured or arranged for. 200 of the screens were borrowed for the recent Kansas City Child Welfare Exhibit, 80 went to the St. Louis Exhibit and calls are coming rapidly for future exhibits elsewhere. Motion films, slides, and photographs showing these screens are described on later pages. The New York screens are of canvas covered with gray cartridge piper and mounted on heavy wooden frame work like theatrical scenery, with exhibits pasted on. The Chicago screens are of "composition board," ^ inch thick and painted gray with exhibits nailed on. They are shipped in boxes holding 8 New York and 15 Chicago screens. Weight, filled, about 600 lbs. Three dimension exhibits illustrating the model home, settlement work, play- grounds, library work, health, the school, etc., can usually be obtained without difficulty from the local community. Backgrounds (or Panels). — Composition board is found most successful for light, yet fairly durable, panels. It has a dull paper finish with filled wood centers ^ in. thick over all. and comes in uniform, four-feet widths, and in eight, ten or twelve feet lengths, at four cents a square foot. It can be obtained through any lumber com- pany. Exhibits can be pasted or tacked on this board. Painted or paper-covered duck stretched on frames like theatrical scenery is the next best style. For the more expensive duck cheap oil cloth can be substi- tuted. Using cloth necessitates pasting pictures and labels on this screen. Photographs. — To take new photographs on "outside work," interiors or exteriors, of groups or of special features of social interest at different points, photographers charge from $1.25 to $1.50 (including carfare) on a quantity, and give one 10 x 12 in. or 11 x 14 in. dull finish or mat print, mounted for exhibition use. These original new subjects should form the principal part of the photographs used, i Photographs from copy furnished in 5 x 7 in. size, the best size for enlarge- ment purposes, cost from 40 to 50 cents. Control should be reserved. Contact prints from negatives furnished, 5x7 size, cost from 5 _ cents in quantity to 10 cents for a single one; larger sizes in proportion. Sepias 10 to 15 cents additional. The card mounting should be carefully done with special materials that prevent warping and cockling, and allowing only half to one inch margins. Photo-Enlargements. — To give variety to the photograph exhibits and to show up certain important features, enlargements should be freely made. They add very much to the effectiveness of the exhibit. The prices for these, from either negatives or copy furnished (use dull grav finish^, are 8x10, 30 cents; 11x14, 40 to 75 cents; 14x17, 55 cents to $1.00; 16 X 20, 65 cents to $1.25; 20 x 24. $1.10 to $1.50; 20 x 36, $3.50 to $4.00; 30x40, $4.50 to $5.00, depending on quantity ordered. *See pages 13 to 15 of City Welfare Bulletin of the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy. 38 EXHIBITS Exhibit Making and Cost Signs and Labels must be freely used for description of separate pic- tures or exhibits, and for master or key labels for separate screens or groups of exhibits. Also as placards or carefully worded state- ments that form an exhibit in themselves. If these are tacked on screens or walls, an 8-ply double-coated white or rream cardboard .should In- used, costiiiE :! or 4 cents a sheet : if pasted on, a Marquette bulk paper, costing $5.75 a ream (500 sheets). The sizes supplied are 22 X 28 in. or 28 x 44 in. If sizes of labels are standardized to cut without waste, there is much saving. Muslin or white oilcloth is a cheap material much used for large signs, and costs much less than mat board. Oil cloth was used effectively at the Kansas City exhibit. The ink used by professionals for lettering, is Bissel's lettering ink, which will not crack like India ink. Broad lettering pens can be used for hand shading work, but a professional show card sign writer can probably do the work cheaply. Prices of prepared lettered labels, for the smaller sizes, range from five and ten cents up to fifty and seventy-five cents for 6 x 44 in. Placards of 22 x28 or 28 X 44 size, with moderate amount of lettering would cost from $1.50 to $2.50, but a large amount of fine lettering or statistics brings up the price rapidly. Printing from type for single signs is too expensive; only when a number of copies are to be reproduced will it be economical. Rubber type printing, or Denison gummed letters of different sizes can sometimes be used for a cheap, quickly made up sign. Painting, Drawing, Decoration. — Cartoons in pen and ink, or posters in colors are very effective, but cost dear — as much as $10 to $35 apiece. These can be mounted and hung independently. The decoration of the background or screen is important. A neutral gray harmonizes with nearly every color exhibits may come in. A simple conventional border design stenciled on adds much to th.e artistic effect. The subject heading of the screen is painted on in 4 in. white letters (cost fiO cents), or can be attached in placard form. Ready-made scenery for the stage can be rented, of course. Flags also can be rented at from $1.00 to $2.00 for larger sizes — 6 foot lengths and up. Decorative burlap is hung at about 25 to 30 cents a yard. The Toy Shop The Box Furniture Room CHILD WELFARE THREE DIMENSION EXHIBITS Models, Three Dimension Exhibits. — These vary from miniatures to full sized rooms and naturally require special estimates from archi- tects, builders, model makers, architectural and plastic decorators. A number of firms undertake such work themselves, or in conjunction with other contractors, such as the Architectural Decorating Co., 1600 So. Jefferson St.; the American Decorating Co., 1405 E. Irving Park Blvd.; the Historical and Industrial Pageant Organization, 726 Chicago Opera House Block; the Decorators' Supply Co., 2547 Archer Ave., Chicago Model Works, 168 W. Madison St, Chicago, and similar firms in other cities. 39 EXHIBITS Assembling and Installation Three Dimension Exhibits — Continued. Dummies of paper mache, etc., in full size or miniature, of children, or grown-ups, of animals, etc., for "still life" groups, can be purchased, ready made, of large city retail stores. For apparatus such as projecting and talking machines, etc., see next section, pages 27 to 30. Designing Wall Space. — Before orders are given for any photographs, signs or other exhibits, a plan or "lay out" for each panel, screen or wall space, should be drawn up to scale, showing where each card or object is to be used, and its proper size. If this is not done much time and money will be wasted, and the result probably will be an inartistic hodge-podge. Cross-section paper, representing a square to the incli, was used to design every screen made for the Chicago Child Welfare Exhibit. This design was then reviewed and criticized as to spacing, proportions, contrasts, harmony, etc., by artists from the Chicago Art Institute, or Chicago Normal School. Floor Plan. — On the floor plan of the building, usually a blue print, scale, quarter inch to the foot, furnished by the architect, the con- secutive number of each panel and description of each model should be indicated. If this plan is begun several months, or at least weeks, before the exhibit opens, the constant changes necessary in location will be worked out inexpensively and systematically, and re- corded. From this guide, installation can be made quickly but accurately. Installation. — To mark the actual position sections, panel screens or models are to occupy, the installation manager draws a chalk line down the main central axis of the hall. He then locates and marks the aisles (which must be amply broad) and other positions by measuring from these axial lines. Outer walls of exhibition buildings vary so much that measurements from them, rather than from the axis, will induce error and confusion. As panels are in uniform four foot sizes, variation of a few inches will make misfits in placing scaffolding or supports and additional expense. After rough structural work is built to the chalked position, the chairmen of Section Committees should take charge of their respect- ive spaces or departments, under the general oversight of the Di- rector of the Exhibit in order to supervise the placing and number- ing of the exhibits themselves to correspond to the catalog and to be generally responsible for its proper interpretation by special literature given out in the section, and by explainers or special demonstrations in the section. The Decorator attends to any needed draping of space or exhibits, with emblems, bunting or flags that harmonize with the general scheme of decoration, and finally the general superintending forces under the Director attend to the guarding, cleaning, repairing, and. other matter of maintenance. Demolition.— As this usually has to be done hurriedly, and vigorously, all valuable articles should be removed at the outset and special guard placed on watch, as petty thieving usually is attempted at this time. An exit pass for each exhibit removed should be issued by the chairman of the proper section and the latter should understand that his responsibility does not cease until at least all valuable exhibits are withdrawn. 40 LECTURES AND PROGRAMS SECTION C— CITY WELFARE BULLETIN Chicago School of Civics and Philantrophy LECTURES This list is provided for the purpose of supplying lectures to cities and towns in the middle west. Outside of Illinois no list of lecturers is given, as correspondence with the State Universities will supply information in regard to members on their faculty of instruction or in the extension department work, that lecture on civic welfare subjects. The lecturers given below who have personally been con- sulted with reference to the matter, advise their willingness to give lectures on civic subjects, cither in or outside of Chicago, on the subjects placed after their names. It must be remembered that they are very busy people engaged in daily work in their specialties, and are not in every case, immediately available. Engagements, therefore, should be made some time in advance by correspondence preferably sent direct to the lecturer in care of his institution. In all cases terms for the lecture must be ar- ranged with the lecturer. Prices range from gratuitous to $10 and up and expenses. Where lectures are illustrated, slides are furnished by the lecturer. Stereopticon is supplied by the local organization. From CHICAGO SCHOOL OF CIVICS AND PHILANTHROPY. The Extension Dept. of the School, 31 W. Lake St., will forward applications for these lecturers.

Motion films and slides are being utilized for welfare propa- gandas to a surprising extent. Quite a number of the Civic Asso- ciations, listed at the end of this bulletin, have adopted this form of visualized education to spread their information, even to drama- tizing the subjects. The Russell Sage Foundation, for example, has prepared quite a number of motion dramas. Motion film companies have pictured activities in settlements, charities, schools, play- grounds and departmental work of the city government to meet the public demand. Motion Shows. — Few realize how easily available this form of illus- tration really is. To make more widely known to your fellow citizens one of the many different subjects for city betterment, you have but to arrange with one of your local motion theatre managers to show the films. Usually they are glad to do so. He can get it from his "exchange" or you can borrow it, as described on the next page. To start interest in the film at the theatres, school and "wel- fare" people should be asked to co-operate with the theatre manager in arranging private views to be attended only by influential persons and the reporters who will advertise the regular exhibitions. Send to Mr. C. A. Perry, Russell Sage Foundation, 400 Metro- politan Tower, New York City, for illustrated advertising folders, posters, etc., giving the story of these films for promoting the wider use of the school plant, if only to see the striking new methods for furthering civic advance the motion film and theatre makes pos- sible. The following postal to be signed by several, and addre.ssed to the General Film Co., 19 South Wabash Ave., Chicago, is supplied by the Russell Sage Foundation as a means to promote the freer use of its educational film on Social Center develop- ment: Gentlemen: . There is a large number of people in this city who wish to see — and have the public in general see — the Edison film, "Charlie's Reform (released on April 5, 1912). • ... , It will enable us to advertise it and make sure of seeing it ourselves if vou will kindly send to the undersigned the addresses of the exhibitors here and the dates on which they will have the film. Very truly yours, A series of motion films of the Chicago Child Welfare Exhibit (belonging to the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy) and on various health and philanthropic topics, was displayed to crowded houses up and down the Pacific Coast last summer by an independent lecturer, Miss A. L. Strong. Doubtless professional lecturers will more and more adopt a motion film equipment. ,r , t,t t^ a t^;^i, Co„-„ The People's Recreation Co., 147 4th Ave., New York, Mrs. David Kirk Secy organized last vear to socialize commercial recreations, has operated on a capital ot $20,000, a chain of educational theatres in which 180 films have been shown. Film Renting.— If you wish to exhibit in a private hall, church, etc., films and machines can be rented at reasonable rates. Sorne films can be rented direct fropi special owners, as mdicated on the next pages The film exchange, however, will furnish the largest number. Get the name of the nearest exchange from your local theatre manager. There are over 100 exchanges which distribute the films of some 35 film manu- New York City, or 1412 Harris Trust Bldg., Chicago. 51 PROJECTIONS Projection Aids The exchanges will rent by the week or day; $5.00 to $15.00 a day when the film is new, and as low as $1.00 a day when PO days old, for a reel of 1,000 feet long .requiring 15 to 18 minutes to run. Films are submitted weekly as they appear, by the manufacturers to the National Board of Censorship of Motion Pictures, 50 Madison Ave., New York, established by the People's Institute of New York City. This Board of disinter- ested group of persons, clergymen, social and civic " workers, is glad to give information about films to anj' inquirer. Care must be taken to consult local ordinances regulating the use of machines. Motion Picture Machines and Supplies, — Machines showing both films and slides can be rented (in Chicago) for $15 to $17 per occasion, including the services of a licensed operator and all equipment. Outside of Chicago, $5 to $10 a week. Machine alone can be pur- chased at about $185 (N. Y. Model). Or a parlor machine, on incandescent current, at $67.50 (from Mackay Sales Co., 36 W. Ran- dolph St.). Address the following Chicago firms: Amusement Supply Co., 105 N. Dearborn St. Commercial Filmers, 173 N. Green St. Christian Lantern Slide and Lecture Bureau, 30 W.

New films made to order cost up to $1.00 a foot for the first copy, and five to fifteen cents a foot for a duplicate copy. Lantern Slides. — Stereopticons are now in such general use, in churches, schools and ciubs, that an adequate supply or exchange of slides is the only important consideration for the civic worker. The lists given on page 56 show the provisions made or making to meet this need — either duplicate slides or rentable slides, or free circulating. While new slides cost from 35 to 50 cents apiece, plain (50 cents to one dollar and up, if colored), duplicates can be ordered from slide negatives at about one-half this cost. The free circulating system for slides for an entire state, undertaken by the University of the State of New York (Dept. of Visual Instruction), is an ideal educational plan, as yet not adopted, liowever, by Western Universities. Automatic Stereopticon. — This machine, while not practical for long range projection lectures, is very effective in booth exhibits, or for "demonstration" talks, and for silent displays. It throws 86 sHdes through a funnel hood onto a ground glass 22 x 24 inches at the rate of one every 8 seconds. Leased by the National Automatic Advertising Co., 202 So. Clark St., Chicago, at about $15 a day. Size — stands 52 in. high; distance from front to rear of machine, 72 in. "Oral Motion." — Edison is now inventing, it is said, a plan to hitch the talking machine to the motion picture. In the meantime, the closest approach to this, for exhibit and civic publicity purposes, is the "Oral Motion" machine, which times talking records to revolving card displays or changmg stage scenery. Leased by the Oral Motion Co., 431 So. Dearborn St., Chicago, at $50 per week, including 12 specially made talking records, but without cards. Extra records, 2 minute, $1.00; 3 minute, $1.50.

Because cities possess only such powers as are granted them by the State governments, the State libraries usually contain the printed data on which State legislation for the city is based. These libraries have been established in nearly 30 states, and al- though not always incorporated with it, are usually in the State Library at the State capitol. They have been developed to aid the Legislature, but the law establishing them often specifically provides for service to any citizen of the State. Citizens of small communities, therefore, where the facilities for civic research, and libraries are limited, should not hesitate to write to their State Library or to the director of the Legislative Reference Bureau for assistance. These libraries have a force of trained assistants to aid with reliable information about water, gas, or electric railway rates and franchises, how other cities are hand- ling these problems, what cities are obtaining home rule, how they draw up their charters, what thev do about factory inspection, the management of the liquor trade or the tenement evil, etc. Some Reference Li»t« Initiative and referendum: State legis- lation. 1910.

All the progressive Central and Western States have organized, often in connection with the State Library, a commission to carry library aids to the people. They send, on request, small traveling libraries on special subjects to Clubs when library facilities are absent, or loan special books to individuals through town or village libraries. In some cases the Legislative Reference Libraries previously described are operated by these commissions instead of by the State Library. Idaho State Library Commission; Sec, Boise.

A group of libraries, called Municipal Reference Libraries, has sprung up to aid the city officials primarily, but also serving the citizen. On May 1st, a Civics Room was opened by the Chicago Public Library, even broader in scope. Its object, as stated by the librarian, is to meet not only the needs of city officials, but of citizen organizations whose opinions influence legislation and administration. The following outline of its activities, copied by permission of the Librarian from the Book Bulletin of May, gives a fair idea of the service rendered by this modern type of libraries: A LIBRARY DEPARTMENT OF CIVICS It includes as part of its material up-to-date publications in book, pamphlet and magazine form dealing with such subjects as housing, public markets, electrification of terminals, parks and playgrounds, recre- ation piers, milk inspection, smoke consumption, long and short ballots, and other topics of current interest bearing on the life of the munici- pality. This material will be fully indexed and classified and arranged for the most convenient use of students, public ofiicials, committees of civic clubs and others interested. Much of the material consists of pamphlets, separates from maga- zines, and important clippings from newspapers representative of the entire country, as well as separates from American, European and Au- stralian documents or special reports, topically arranged. Manv of the recently adopted city charters are on the shelves, and the trend in local lawmaking is further exemplified by digests and copies of recent ordinances. Other printed sources of interest to city officials, aldermen and students of municipal conditions, as derived from the messages of mayors and other officials, publications of societies, and pamphlets pri- vately issued, have to do with the making of city budgets, and the many important problems which are incorporated in budgetary studies; civil service regulations, and examinations conducted in connection therewith; municipal art, in co-operation with organizations of architects and other civic bodies, electrification of railroads at terminals; and many other subjects of large import in city administration. University students, and students in special schools dealing with civics, philanthropy and economics in general will be given freedom of use, and special facilities will be offered members of the City Council, School Board and other official bodies, in the form of "package libra- ries" on certain subjects, which may be loaned for use elsewhere than in the Library for limited but reasonable periods.

PRESS SERVICE The Survey- Press Service, 105 E. 22d St., New York City. The Survey magazine offers, free of charge, every week, a well written newspaper article of about a column in length on some topic concerned with social betterment. The range includes health, civics, charities, playgrounds and recreation, child labor, juvenile courts, crime and its cure, housing, city and town planning, and industrial conditions. The articles are "newsy," full of "human interest," and appeal to the average newspaper reader in the smaller as well as the larger places. They are supplied to only one newspaper in a city, and arrange- ments should be made between the local paper and The Survey. For information as to how this press service may be secured, address The Survey, 105 E. 22d St., New York City. As a social worker* visiting as Field Secretary many cities well points out "Civic club.s, tuberculosis societies, women's clubs, etc., can render a great service by securing the regular use of this material by infliiential local dailies. Tuber- culosis workers, for example, are learning that a broad social interest in the com- munity lessens to a considerable degree tlie problem of winning the anti-consumption fight. "So workers in other lines are beginning to appreciate the significance of getting people interested in the general welfare of the city. The more of general interest, intelligently founded, the more easily possible it will be to cultivate interest in the specialized topic, and the more likely that support can be secured for a particular enterprise.'

The City Club (with 23 committees) and the Woman's City Club, of Chicago, the Civic Leagues, the Voters' Leagues and similar organizations* of various cities, are good models to follow.

Mi^ 1^^ IB 1 S B a ■■#<"» ^ I V ■I" ' THE WORKERS' SCHOOL IN SESSION Meeting Evenings at the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy Workers' School of Municipal Government. A successful example of building" a civic school on club lines is the School for Workers, developed last winter at the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy, by Mr. John C. Kennedy, graduate of Cornell, and long a resident at the University of Chicago Settlement. 63 STUDY METHODS Workers' School of Civics Some hundred working people, busy at their trades during the day, devoted their leisure on two evenings a week — Monday and Wednesday — to learning how municipal affairs are conduct- ed at home and abroad. Sixty of them have become active stu- dents and maintained the regular two night a week courses. The meetings are held from 8 to 10 o'clock, in the rooms of the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy, where the students have the advantages of its library and museum material, and conference rooms. After a short lecture of .30 minutes each evening, the whole class resolves itself into committees, as shown below. COMMITTEE ORGANIZATION These committees, which have spent several months in making a study of municipal problems, were divitled on the plan of the prominent city clubs. The standing committees are as follows : 1. Municipal revenues and expenditures. 8. Education and vocational adjustment. 2. Streets, alleys and garbage. 9. Health, smoke and smells and noises. 3. Transportation and traffic. 10. Parks, playgrounds and beaches. 4. Gas, electric light and power and 11. Police, justice, penal institutions, re- telephones, formatories and charities. 5. Water, drainage and sewerage. 12. Labor conditions. 6. Housing, building regulations and fire 13. Efficiency and organization, civil ser- protection. vice. 7. General municipal enterprise. 14. City charters and city planning. The object of the school, as stated by its director, is: To train the workers of Chicago for intelligent citizenship and for active par- ticipation in the administration of municipal afifairs. (1) By explaining the nature and extent of our municipal problems. (2) By explaining the powers, duties, functions and methods of the various departments of our city government. (3) By informing the students regarding the best work being done in American and European cities toward the solution of municipal problems. METHODS The methods adopted for this educational work are: A. — Lectures. (With and without lantern slides.) B. — General reading of books and magazines on municipal govern- ment. C. — Investigations and reports of standing committees. D. — Class discussion of committee reports. There is no tuition, but an initiation fee of 50 cents is charged and dues are 25 cents per month. This fund is used to purchase books, magazines and other material needed by the students for reference purposes. No single text book has been found best for the use of the class, but books most suitable are indicated on list given on the next page. It is believed that this school has much to accomplish in view of the increasing extent to which the working class are interested in poli- tical afifairs. It has been pointed out that the plan to pursue is to work out satisfactory methods of teaching municipal government to the rank and file of our citizens in the evening schools. Our public school system has a great opportunity but has thus far been unable to give our adult citizens the special training they need to meet intelligently the vital civic problems that are confronting them for solution. 64 STUDY METHODS Workers' School Library A STUDY CLUB COMMITTEE AT WORK Workers' School, Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy GENERAL WORKS Demiug, Horace E.

See on page 71 the organizations housed in a special building in New York. Chicago needs such a building. At present, the new City Club building (see previous page) and the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy, 31 W. Lake St. (see map on page 76) form two centers on opposite sides of the "loop" district, at which this grouping is evident.
