TULY 13. 1S23 ^j'PSlMBfeiiffe^ >â- â-  :'3w'M9 HEARLECniREON UACK 0'YARDS' I â€"------------- Miss Mary McDowell Tell* Kindergartners of Her Set- tlement Work in City URGES WOMEN'S DUTY Must Use Ballot to Beautify Chicago Miss Mary McDowell, Head Resident of Chicago University Settlement and Commissioner of Public Welfare of the T3ity of Chicago, in speaking before the summer session of the. National Kinder- garten and Elementary college this week said, "the only thing I ever took thoroughly was the course in kindergar- ten wori^nr this college under Miss Elizabeth Harrison. I have loved it very much and it has affected my attitude toward life, my method of doing things with people and children, because it is a philosophy that gees beyond little children and one who is to be a kindergartener must see the child never as a little child all alone but as a child who is part of the great Social circle. In speaking of her life back of the stock yards Miss McDowell said that she has lived in that district for twenty- eight years because she wanted to get in touch with the laborers, the unskilled workers who get the lowest wages. Ac- cording to Miss McDowell the little children there are not unlike those in other placesâ€"some are less spoiled, less bored, more simpleâ€"but they have all the possibilities of any child. Right To Beauty "We put the child of the poor in sor- did ugliness where there is no beauty," said Miss McDowell, "and are surprised at the unlovely result. Every child has a right to beauty. You must not be- lieve in this just in your own schoolâ€" you must spread the gospel." Miss McDowell said that in showing slides of "Beautiful America" to the people of the stock yards she tells them very emphatically that they have a right to beauty, to grass and trees and flow- ers." Will that make them discontent- ed?" she questioned. "Yes! I want them to be discontented with dirt and ugliness. What do we have schools, and kinder* gartens for if not to stir up a noble dis- fl*PtK'ti.?" A**ef ?n* *1<ph l*«*nffg sf. Ht- tSt-JPoltsh boy, who lives in a wooden hut below the level of the sidewalk said, "it is true what you said. I no like it here. I go away. I like grass and flow- ers and trees and I like lambs that eats out of your hands like on the farm." Miss McDowell told tersely of one experience in the district "back of the yards." "There were great clay holes filled with rubbish and garbage from all over the city. Mothers came to me about FISHBRMEN. ATTENTION I .

PJMsie Geaea Jet. ft it and I went to the City Hall, thinking that all I had to do was to tell them of the high death rate of babies in families living near these holes, and that tney would immediately change it. I kept on going for nineteen years. After about fifteen years one man said that I coma never get it changed until I had public opinion on my side. I went abroad and found how such matters were handled there but it was not until women got the vote that anything was done about it here." ' , ^ According to Miss McDowell women s votes are not to be used by any political machine but as a weapon or method for getting something done. "City govern- ment," said Miss McDowell, "is not for political partiesâ€"it is for the welfare of the homes, to bring cleanliness, pur- ity and beauty into the lives of the peo- ple. We haven't got it. We have beau- ty in spots but we have far more ugli- ness, ft is patriotic to say that Chicago is ugly, and is beautiful only in spots? It is neither patriotic nor unpatrioticâ€" if is the truth." In conclusion Miss McDowell said that she does not consider' her work back of the stock yards as finishedâ€"that it cannot be. finished until politics stops playing with such things and science starts working on them. "In this coun- try," said Miss McDowell, "we can ncv-^ er have a love of beauty until we have a knowledge of ugliness. No neighbor- hood liveth unto itself. The city as a whole must care for the stock yards as well as the Lake Shore drive."
