THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1913. THEY OiiJECT ON PRINCIPLE. It is ever the lot of reformers or persons back of any progressive move- ment to meet with objections from those who, satisfied with the old or der of things, object, on principle, to any innovation. Sometimes, and much too often, it happens, that the institution of the most sensible safe- guards meets with strenuous opposi- tion from persons who chance to en- tertain* ideas contrary to those held by the public generally. Last winter, in Evanston, when a small pox epidemic seemed to threat- en the children in the public schools, the demand for vaccination of all chil- dren whose period of immunity from earlier vaccination had expired or who had never been Immunized, was resisted by certain of out citizens, who because of their individual viewB were willing to run counter to the united wisdom of the health departr ment and the school board. ______ In Wilmette a similar situation pre- vails. An endeavor to acquire and to maintain the very highest degree of efficiency In the public schools of the Tillage has actuated the residents to Institute a systematic medical inspec- tion of the pupils. Forthwith arises a .cilifcen who not only proclaims his / own right to refuse to have his chll dren receive the benefit of the in- spector, a physician approved by his professional brothers, but offers to in' struct others in the law by which they may evade the attentions of the Inspector. ' In such instances it is always the man who has least respect for the combined rights of the many, who Is loudest in bis claims of personal liberty. *£â- Â£ * & * P"f&!r%JS GROWTH OF FIFTY YEARS |,?'V An exposition designed to exploit 'the progress made by the American negro is being planned, to be .ield in Chicago in 1915, marking the half century since the emancipation of the , slave In the United States. r Very general surprise is likely to follow such an event, because of the lack of recognition among us of the very extraordinary development which ':.. Has been going on among the negroes during the past fifty years. The habit has grown upon the white man to sit in judgment over the negro, compar- ing him as he now is with what it is desirable he should be, rather than with what be was a generation ago. Such an organization as the Tuake- gee band, to which Evanston tans were ^. privileged to listen Friday night, i bears evidence to the lajent capablli #: tl«s of the race., The increasing num- ber of negro young people who are enjoying the privileges of such schools M Plney Woods Country Life pchool, ; In Braxton, Miss., the interest that is being manifested in bis behalf in such enterprises as the Emerson street T.

HAS 200 RAVINIA MEMBERS Evanston has done its share toward putting Ravinia Park upon a firm financial foundation. To that city be- longs a great share of the credit of "saving Ravinia" A perusal of the membership of the Ravinia club shows that there are some 200 Evanstonians who have contributed their mite to- ward the expenses of the park.

The ap- pliance will be kept in the flre sta-, tion, immediately available in the event ol any accident in which its use may be of benefit. Possibly, as Mrs. Jameson says, it was the natural instinct of the parent to protect the life of her offspring which prompted the gift to the cilx ^uTTf ^ppearT to be the generosity HOLIDAT8 IN MISSOURI. Missouri will enjoy two holidays, In the celebration of which residents or other states will not be expected to participate, for they are to be "Good Roads days." August 20 and 21 have been set aside in a proclamation by Governor Majob as sacred to the cause of good roads in the state, and every able-podied citizen will be expected to do ft man's work making ditches, building bridges and whatever else is necessary to make good roads out of bad. Women will not be exempt from the celebration of the holiday, for they are to furnish lunches for the workers and urge them on to greater achievement by virtue of their pres- ence. It Is estimated that the financial \alue of the two days "' contributed labor will amount to $l,E>i>0,000, a sum which Missouri is apparently unable to raise in any less original way. Other states will admire the courage of Missouri In thus meeting an emer- gency which could not be handled in a more customary manner. It is safe to prophecy that good roads, thus ^ followlng ^ fhB Evan8tonians secured, will be esteemed by the pub- J wno nave subscribed money to the lie at their full value and an interest j park and are members of the Ravinia created in them which will make It J club: easy to keep the highways In a state!

Sunday night ends the engagement of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Miss Hutfi St. Denis at Ravinia Park. The concerts given by the Chi- cago musical organization and the entertainment furnished by the danc- ing of Rl-th St. Denis have attracted larse crowds to the popular north shore resort and the wijdom Of the Ravinia chili In providing really first rlass attractions has been justified by the liberal patronage of the residents of the north shore communities and of Chicago. Beginning Monday the character of the program Is to be changed and grand opera excerpts by well known singers will replace the performances of the orchestra and the Interpreta- tive dancer. Past experience war- rants the assumption- tbat the popu- larity of Ravinia an a delightful place to spend an afternoon and evening, will be in no way diminished by the change in the nature of the entertain- ment, and that there will be consider- able increase la the attendance. m * * The drowning - accident which oc- curred in. the lake at the foot of Main street.

An Unknown Fact Few of the Evanston people wno attend the beautiful park realize that the beauty of the place and the gen- eral plan are due to the work of one of their fellow citizens. To Peter J. Weber, 1804 Wesley avenue, belongs this credit Mr. Weber was the archi- tect of all the buildings. It was he who drew the plans for the stadium and concert hall, arranged the land- scape and had general supervision of the architectural scheme. Many new attractions have been added to the park this year to provide for the comfort of the patrons. Among these are the young people's dancing sessions in the Casino, the children's playground and the enter- tainment for the children conducted each Thursday afternoon in the waea- ter. A large number of leagues have been formed, the members being ad- mitted to the various attractions upon presenting their membership buttons. MRS.MARTHA C.FRENCH DIED IN EVANSTON Mrs. Martha C.
