33 WINNETKA TALK April 24, 1926 Professor Eliot Is Appointed to Recreation Board Mayer William E. Dever has notified Professor Thomas D. Eliot of the de- partment of sociology at Northwestern university that he has been appointed a member of the Chicago Recreatioin Commission. Mayor Dever says in his letter of notification: "TI know of nothing that Chicago has attempted that is fraught with so much consequence to present and future citi- zens than the development of the plans and work ahead of this committee. am very 'anxious that you accept this appointment to the end that we may develop plans looking into the future for the improvement of conditions-- social, educational and cultural--which surround our children and our citizens." Inasmuch as Dr. Eliot has made special study of this type of sociological work his connection with the Chicago Recreation Commission will not only be in a familiar field but will greatly add to his experience and usefulness in this field, it is said.

This can be stated with certainty at this time, as a check of local Better Homes committees already formed a few weeks before the beginning of Better Homes Week, April 25 to May 1, showed that 2684 are already at work. From comparison with former years, the number of chairmen who have ac- cepted appointments to head local committees at this time indicates that fully 4,000 communities will take part in this movement for making known to American families of modest means the utmost they can secure for their homes in the way of comfort, utility, and beauty, within the limits of their income. Movement Has Grown Starting only a iew years ago with a few hundred Better Homes demon- strations, the growth of this educa- tional, public service organization has been truly remarkable. With the hearty cooperation of many depart- ments and bureaus of the Federal government and of powerful national organizations of men and women whose aims are, in part at least, com- mon with those of Better Homes in America, it may truthfully be said that the spread of these aims has been in every respect a movement of nation- wide importance. New York leads in the number of chairmen who have thus far been appointed and accepted leadership for their communities, having 153. Next comes Texas, with 121; next is Ilfi- nois, where 118 chairmen have begun their campaigns. Virginia is fourth, with 101 chairmen, followed by Cali- fornia, with 96 chairmen, North Caro- lina, with 94 chairmen, Alabama with 90 chairmen, Minnesota with 89 chair- men lowa with 85 chairmen and Mis- sissippi with 81 chairmen. No state is unrepresented, and be- fore the end of April it is confidently expected there will be scores of chair- men in every state, carrying forward in their own localities the educational work directed to betterment of the American home as the primary and most important unit in American civilization and progress.
