Industrially, it is dis- S tinctive in the middlewest. In the civic, the social and the political world it lg is not only one of the cleanest cities in the state of Illinois, but is best organized for the better things in life. At no period of its existence has it had political gl corruption and it is distinctive among the cities of our country for the co-operative spirit which prevails between the employer and employee, and all classes of its citizenship. It stands and strives for the better things in life as is evidenced S by the several activities of the Red Cross Nursing Service, the XVelfare Service, the Leisure Time Activities and the several activities in the schools and churches. The morals and ideals of Moline are unquestionably much above the average S for an industrial city. Twenty-four churches, having a membership of approx- imately thirteen thousand, which is nearly half the population of the city, are evidence of the moral standard of the city. The illiteracy is negligible and is E '+C O9 E 5 QS ,.L.f'D on Eg Em 55 0 O2 -ht-os f-+5 55.

Of the total enroll- ment in the entire school system, 22.4 per cent is in the High School, which shows the keen interest which the community maintains in the educational wel- fare of its children. It was among the earliest of the communities of the state to introduce the kindergarten, the manual training and household arts in its schools. The schools.maintain a health and hygiene department under the direction of a trained nurse and employ the service of a dentist for half time to safeguard the physical welfare of children. S The graph of the Child Hygiene Association which shows the infant mortality for 1921 in 573 cities shows Moline, Illinois, Pasedena, California, and lflrooklyn, Massachusetts, as having the lowest infant mortality in their class. In the adult population of Moline the personal contact and friendly spirit which prevail, make for a wholesome neighborliness that helps to make a con- tented citizenship.

'l'he ollice of the Chamber of Commerce is to develop these qualities in the community and to make the community sell-reliant. This can be done in mass thinking and mass action. lt cannot coerce a community into S home loyalty and home patronage, but it is possible to develop a desire ot the heart to do these things.
