Nothing so good as a fine city is to be had for nothing. It will cost a great deal of time and energy and some money. If the people of Boston decide that they have not time to make their city what they would like to have it be, it will mean that they have other things which they would rather be doing with their time than im- proving their city. If they decide that t"hey have not energy enough or money enough to make their city what it ought to be, it will mean that there are other things which they prefer and for v/hich they would rather give their energy and their money. The whole question, therefore, is whether the people of Boston would rather have the finest city in the world or whether they would rather use for other purposes the time and energy and money necessary for the accom- plishment of that purpose. — Professor Thomas N.
