ATE FEDERATION OE WOMEN'S CLUBS Mrs. Solon shedd. President r Club Women of Washington . Way out "where the West begins' we are asking each other, "Can we set a standard for our cities and towns, just as a standard for the per fect nabies has been set?" Surely, if the most impossible thing to "stand ardize" in all the world— ■ baby— has been reduced to a scientific formula for measurement, the mil lenium is at hand. If the mllleniuin for babies is at hand, is it not possible that a rea sonable standard of measurement may be set for every city and town in our beloved state of Washington? Beginning with the setting aside •of Clean-Up Days, then state-wide Clean-Up Weeks, Fire Prevention, Educational Survey and Arbor Days, we have tried day after day. tint communities have been aroused from the obsorption of individual pursuits. They have even reached the point of asking "What is all this fuss about, anyway?" The results of all this educational propaganda (for such these special days and weeks are) is shown In the great progress made as a state. We have in the last five years— 1. Equal suffrage. 2. Minimum wage and eight-hour law for women. 3. The Red Light Abatement law. 4. The initiative, referendum and recall. 5. The direct primary. 6. Mother's pension. 7. Workmen's compensation act. And last but by no melius least: 8. State-wide (prohibition, with •the largest city in the state dry- - Seattle. The- last great educational week was that of Baby Week —observed as a national movement. One great fac tor /brought out in the comparative statistics for the larger cities was that Seattle is the best city in the nation for babies. Fewer infants less than one year old die here than in any other large city, rate 53 to each 1000. The nearest approach to this low record Is San Francisco, with a rate of 70 per 1000. As we are thus setting a standard for the entire country through the cleanliness and sanitation of our largest, city, Seattle, we are seeking to arouse the entire state to the point. of setting a perfect standard for every city, town and all rural com munities. Is there any conceivable plan so simple, practical and adaptable that a city, big or little, can use it ami gel definite results? Yes, through asking and then me curing the facts to answer the ques tion— Which is the best city and town in the state of Washington? Which city can measure up to the highest standard in Class A. Class B, Class C, Class D, Class E. or Class F? . Is Seattle, Tacoma or Spokane the cleanest city? Which has the best sewage dis posal system, the best water supply, garbage system, housing conditions, sanitation? What are the resources of our cities for caring for the people (housing, food, health)? Which has the best kepi streets, parks, alleys? In which city would we prefer to bring up our children. In other words, which has the best educa tional facilities? The schools, librar ies, newspapers, music, art, etc.? What does each city offer its peo pie in the way of industries? What are the best probabilities of earning a good living for a family? Which city offers the best recrea tional facilities for all the people (parks, playgrounds, boulevards, theatres, movies, concerts, lectures, etc.)? In which are the schools used as the civic, recreational and educa tional center for the community life? To what degree is community spirit shown through its men's or ganizations? Women's organiza tions? Welfare organizations? Other organizations? To what degree does the churches minister to the spiritual life of the city? The answer which each city and town of Washington could give in the concrete to some such questions as the above would show it. each case just where the municipality stands and lead to a far more prac tical and comprehensive city and town planning than has ever before been attempted. A state-wide contest to discover the city and town reaching the high est standard in each class is the plan presented to the people of Washing ton by the civic committee of the Washington State Federation ~of Women's Clubs.
