Since those early days, Newton has de- veloped tremendously along educational lines. Now there are high grade modern buildings -schools of the highest type for this purpose, with proper exits and due caution against fires and other emergencies. There are also new modern high schools, and the number of pupils that enter the high schools has in- creased appreciably within the last decade. There also are several very fine private schools. The Lasell Junior College, with its beautiful spacious grounds, established 1851, has long been famous. This young ladies' academy has admitted young women from all parts of the United States.
Among other well-known private schools within the city are Mt. Ida School, Allen, Fessenden, and Country Day Schools. The higher institutions of learning are represent- ed by Boston College, in the Chestnut Hill section of the city, and the Andover Newton Theological School (1825) at Newton Centre.
Newton also has a splendid playground system which has developed tremendously within the last decade. There are now many beautiful spots which have been turned into playgrounds for the young. These play. grounds are in charge of very efficient young men and women and the children are taught all sorts of healthful games, while other edu- cational opportunities and interests are en- couraged and promoted.
The Public Library
Another important factor which cannot be disassociated from the school room is the Newton Free Library. This was organized in September, 1869, and received the property of its sponsors, the Newton Library Associa- tion. In 1875 the stockholders of the associa- tion transferred the entire estate to the City of Newton. The location of the building is on Centre street, the ancient main thoroughfare of the town. The Newton Library contains 171,033 volumes and is continually adding to the collection. There are valuable reference books of all periods, as well as works of old and new fiction. There are also many beauti- ful and rare prints. There are now branch libraries in nine sections of the Newtons, the most recent one being that established in Waban.
Church and Social Activities
Church influence is strong in Newton, many social and welfare activities also centering in the church organizations, of which there are forty-four in the city. The first church was organized in 1633.
There are over one hundred forty clubs and fraternal organizations in the city, a federa- tion of Women's Clubs, Kiwanis and Rotary, and the Newton Chamber of Commerce.

Growth
History shows that the different parts of Newton have made rapid strides in develop- ment. In 1860 Nonantum Hill had only the Ricker family on its massive western should- er. The greater part of it consisted of scrub oak, a lonely and desolate tract of land. Early in 1800 Newton Lower Falls was a tranquil little village with but ten resident families. In 1872 the village had risen to 940. A little later the village of Newton Highlands was not much more than a crossroads settlement in a region of farms. Nearby were shops of the blacksmith and wheelwright. But today Newton is a great modern city teeming with activities, ever growing, ever expanding. Beautiful modern structures are constantly being erected. Among the later ones the An- gier Memorial School at Waban and the West Newton Memorial Library add much to the appearance of these sections. There are also the Christian Science Church and the Junior High School in Newtonville and Bos- ton College in the Chestnut Hill section.
Business Activities and Opportunities
Although Newton is widely known as a residential city, the waterpower privileges at Upper and Lower Falls have attracted to it various industries. At Lower Falls is lo- cated one of the first paper mills established in the country. In Newton there are also ma- chine shops, and factories engaged in the manufacture of fire alarm supplies, silk, worsted, rubber, paper boxes, curtains, rail- way signals, cordage, &c.
There are numerous retail stores and specialty shops, pharmacies, modern sanitary markets and food shops, and up-to-date cloth- ing stores well managed and well stocked, a complete range of merchandise at prices as low as any in the large centers.
Information regarding manufacturing op- portunities, business facilities and residential advantages will be supplied on request by the Newton Chamber of Commerce, 277 Washing- ton street.

There are two kinds of Advertising
That which the Buyer seeks, and that which is thrust upon him.
Both are good
Display advertising suggests wants and creates desire. Of its tremendous power many present day successes bear witness.
Reference Advertising steps in when the desire has been created. It shows where the goods can be purchased and gives information that the buyer wants when he wants to buy.
A Connecting Link
The weakness of display advertising is that often a need is not realized until the ad that suggested it is misplaced or thrown away.
A shrewd buyer usually looks the field over before buying and where is so logical a place to look as in this book.
A Help to You
In your buying, use the lists in this book. If you see a name in heavy type it is because that concern thought enough of your possible business to make it easy for you to find them. If it says "See page - - ", you will find there information that will really help you.
Are You Covered?
Have you made it easy for buyers to find you, by putting a bold type listing under every heading where they might look for you or a competitor? Have you put information in the "Selling Section" that will really help a buyer, and point to you as the one who can serve him best?
If not, make a note to do it in the next edition, and let us tell you now how little it costs to be protected.
