Oh, the Easter egg sat on the pantry
shelf,
And its oval face wore a crafty smile
IT think l can travel alone," said the elf,
"And l won't come back for long, long

But gray old rat heard the odd remark
While passing by the pantry door
"That's right" he squealed, well have a
lark
If you'll just drop gently down to the

So the fattered egg puffed till its face

And rolled itself over and over, and then
Smashed on the foor-and the old rat

As he ate: "You'n never go back again" !"

To solve the problem of keeping
young people from focking to the ci.
ties, the Great Round World cites
the modernized "Village Hail." as a
centre for the social interests of the
community and says: "The present
tendency of the younger generation in
rural communities to seize the earli.
est opportunities Of finding homes in
the larger cities, is due in considera.
BILE part to sense of social needs.
Existence becomes monotonous where
there is no social variety, and aside
from the desire for larger business
profit and for making more of
n&me, the longing to know more peo-
pie, to see more sights and to get
more closely into touch with affairs
is persistent pull on the content of
the average rural young man or won.
an. 1t is quite evident, therefore,
that If the young people are to be
kept in the towns and villages, some
thing must be done to improve tneir
social surroundings. Their need must
be met-and met wholesomely and
as completely as possible. At the
same time such an effort, properly
carried out, is certain to bring educa.
tional results of other values, for to
make the community desirable to the
young it must be modernizei it must
be knit more closely together, it must
be brought into nearer relation with
the world outside. All this can be ac.
Ccmplished only by emphasizing the
points of agreement among the inhab.
itants."
