Prof. Augustine Jones' Paper on “ Parks and Tree<Lined Avenues.”’ The regular monthly meeting of the Ad vance Club wegs held last eveuiu'g at the rooms, 26 Westminster street, The fea ture of the evening was a paper read by Prof. Augustine Jones, principal of the Friends’ schuol" on *Parks and Tree- Lined Avenues. e BRealbs S “It is a great work of art,” saidthe speaker, “ to lay out a [;]ark. securing the beauty and \'urlet{.whic are allowed by the location of its surroundings. Parks have an immense value as breathing films for the poor, and are a blessing to umanity because of their cool depths and guiet byways, “Cities now furnish biuhwn}‘l. waterand light for streets, and most of them also have parks, tree lined avenues and oPen air spaces, thus allowing the working class toeuj(?v the cool breezes and ex{)erieuce the delights of freedom untrammelled. “The project on foot for the laying out of additional parks for Providence ought to be entered upon at once. It is the duty of the hour., As maturity is an essential element in a park, we cannot begin too soon to furnish the benefit and richness of years, or too much deplore a Policy which relegates to other generations a service which can never be performed hereafter with so little labor and cost. We, also, must not lose sight of the fact that Parks b{ mtoring the health of the people, add directly to their productive power and to the wealth of the city.” During the nu-etin% the question of distributing some publications of the club was brought up and tabled until fur ther action by the executive committee, It transpires that a special committee, acting withont pm‘per authority, have had a series of pamp nleflsru olished on the municipal manu(semem. of public lightlnli. They were called *“‘ Advance Club Leaf lets.” The club wisely decided to con= sider the matser further and to inquire into the contents and the authority for statements made before {m blicly commit :inglit:ilf to the principles of nationalism nvolived, The editor of the Telegram, who has re {)‘;mliuhfil these ramphlets. thus violuting some extent the courtesy of the clu secrets, was severely censured by mem bers of the club and a motion for his ex pulsion was referred to the executive com mittee for action.
