Chiâ€" tnd:: has a larger relative proâ€" of transient population than other great city, and her buildâ€" ing program suggests that she looks forward to becoming more metmpoliâ€" tan along this line. +; N _ Most Metropolitan : "It is inevitable that Chicago should beâ€"as she alreadyr isâ€"the mogt metropolitan of cities; The ‘cenâ€" tres‘ of population, agriculture, and industry, of the nation, have for a century been moving toward her. And, furthermore, as. intensive growth takes the Fl:t“t; of gei:t:ederin% and expansion, a so is favorâ€" ed for metropolitan development, For internal .. nerce. assumes rreater he national life, and this is its real #Moreover, a metropolis of today is and less to be judged on the basis of nml{ Fesident population. ; The m an cities of the past have s been, and progressively, cenâ€" "Chicago <has qualitative advanâ€" tages over the other cities which outâ€" rank :nn in mere quantity of popuâ€" lation. It is more youthful than that of any other leadingâ€"city. It has a more even balance of the sexes. Chiâ€" cago people are a whole generation nearer to the soil than those of New York, and much more so than those of London. | Chicago too is most fortuâ€" nate in her racial and national eleâ€" mentsâ€"German, Polish, and Italian predominating. These are human reâ€" sources of great, value in the rivalry to become the first city of the world. Leads In Change @Chicago today leads in the epochâ€" making: change from the external reâ€" cruiting which has characterized modâ€" ern, and especially Amgrican cities, to some measure of=~ selfâ€"recruiting through natural increase. The leadâ€" ing European cities have for a genâ€" eration been forced to maintain their lowered rates of increase by such reâ€" forms as would allow of and conserve natural increase as the basis for threeâ€"quarters of their growth. Amerâ€" fcan cities have not been forced to such reformations and ‘conservation, but Chicago today leads in furnishâ€" ing w of its increase. This gives her at ‘ advantage as foreign imâ€" migration falls off, and as rural miâ€" gration will necessarily lessen. ~It is already enabling Chicago to mainâ€" tain by a considerable margin the highest rate of increase for any great city. This too, in spite of the fact that she has a very active, though not large, suburban movement. It will also tend to further her advances in urban living, and true metropolitanâ€" m middle west stocks. | Chicago has the highest vital index, and naâ€" tural increase of any of the world‘s great cities. ‘fileun is the healthiest of the world‘s great cities. This is due to the ‘bcuL:u‘eta just referred to, but also to gource of population and to her hunian resources of social comâ€" position.â€" Chicago, has led all great cities in her reduction of mortality from tuberculosis â€"â€" the outstanding scourge of modern citiesâ€"and has alâ€" so notable achievement. in typhoid control; Chicago has mever had death rates such as other great cities have all shown, for from the first she has expanded rapidly in aréa with resultâ€" ing low density, her suburbanization being favored by her growing up in the days of the greatest advances in rapid transit. Her population too,‘ has been largely recruited from relaâ€" tively youthful migrants, of the sturâ€" dier groups of later immigration, and from the second generation of pioâ€" . "No other city in the world is so ;centrally located for modern metroâ€" pdiw except Moscow. But for the as it is rapidly coming to bg‘* London nor New York are gituated as favorably as Chicago," \__.. Climate Is Good "Climatically, Chicago has a primaâ€" cy: which is seldom referred to," conâ€" tinqed?tlm speaker. â€" "Lying between the prairies and the lakes, she is the windy city, but her winds cleanse and invigorate. Chicago has the most moderate climate, least subject to exâ€" tremes, or undesirable special feaâ€" tures, such as fogs, among all the greatest citi¢s of the world. Chicaâ€" go <experiences ‘no summer exodus but is rather actually a summer reâ€" sort, and this is extremely rare among great cities. £ mwufiam L. Bailey of ,‘ university, in a talk m&;mxymm radio a few days ago told many listeners why Chicago is the first city of the world. He took oeml;:‘::t to glorify Chicago so much a geological standpoint as he complimented her for her freshâ€" ness and her stern purpose to improve herself from within. He said that other great cities, in Europe, had cenâ€" turies of a start on Chicago and suburbs but that Chicago already is a more interesting city than any of them. Dt.
