San Diego Union, November 6, 1902. Note only: "A Practical Use of a Park" by Mary B. Coulston:

Means of familiarizing the young with a study of botany; A park is not primarily a place for instruction, but rather a tract of natural landscape, improved and beautified, for enjoyment and recreation. A botanic garden, good as this it in itself, is not a park. But if a park is, first of all, a public pleasure ground, planted with a view to beautiful effects and convenient use, instruction may properly be a feature made to contribute to its greater usefulness.

San Diego Union, November 27, 1902. Note only: "Development of Park Systems" by Mary B. Coulston: City parks improved within recent years; The experience of other cities may serve as useful examples in park making at this time. A well-planned park includes besides its own area, well-designed approaches and outlying boulevards. San Diego has natural advantages and possibilities that lose nothing in comparison with any of the cities names.

San Diego Union, December 12, 1902. Note only: Mr. Marston’s View on the Bond Issue: It goes without saying that any additions to the safety, convenience, comfort or beauty of the city will be greatly enjoyed by ourselves, and that sensible people should provide all such benefits they can afford to. But there is another phase of the matter. One of the great resources of a Southern California town is its attractiveness. It is the best sort of business investment to make a town wholesome and beautiful. There’s literally millions in it.
