1T is our idea." said Mr.. Greenlee,
ito have members of the ASSOCIATION
take up two or three thousand acres
all together, and We could adopt a CON-
munity plan of having certain part Of
the ground set apart for living quar-
tiers, and then the people could go out
on thief arms from there every morning,
1t being only ride of mile or so. This
would enable us. as We got further ad
vanced, to make arrangements for a
summer Chautauqua, and we could
have some of the leading men,
bers Of our association visit the
farm at intervals and give us
lectures. and take up other edu-
cational work. In this way, those
who spent the summer on the farms
would still be in touch with school and
