the county come before dinner and
stay all day.
-. T. MOORE, Manager"
This notice means that the ladies may
attend the fair that day at the expense
of the association, provided they come
before noon. 1t is the desire of the
association that all the ladies come
and be their guests on this day.
This explanation is made, because
there has been some misconstruction
placed on the meaning of the rule set
forth in the catalogue, some constru-
ing it that all ladies would be charged
for staying in the afternoon, matters
not whether they were already in the
grounds or came in afternoon. Thls
is a mistake and when you once get
inside of the grounds you are expected
and requested to stay, and the asso-
citation wants every lady in the county
to come before noon and see all the
show and then go home and tell their
neighbors what they saw and try and
boost the fair and get others to come.

concern themselves with the average
city mans making-a-livlug problems.
1t is worth while to inquire II they
are really serious, since in their ac-
tivities they have almost entirely ig-
nored the producing end which is The
basic problem of everyone's life prob
lens. Indeed not only have these
constructive activities ignored coun-
try life and its business, but they
have so magnified the special prob
lens Of city life, and have provided
for them on such splendid scale, as to
withdraw practically all attention to
the woes of country life. And by their
diversity and scope the institutions
of the cities put institutional life on
such high plane as seems to have
entirely discouraged this form OF So
cial expression in the country. It is
public information, confirmed by the
inquiry and report of President
Roosevelt's Commission on Country
Life and other authoritative agencies,
that the people of the open country
are woefully unorganized for any pur-
pose; that their churches, schools and
such organizations as do exist lack,
for the greater part, both body and
spirit; that there is little if any social
life, and that in practice ambition and
progress among country met and wo-
men are most generally denoted by
their departure for the city.
1t must be true that for every man.
ufacturing and trading man surround
ed by healthy social conditions in
town. there should be a proportionate
number Of producing men, or part Of
a man, in equally healthy conditions
in the country.
Who is attending to this business?
Every national or local organiza-
tion Of persons working for the adj
vancement of humanity, which Is con-
tent to limit its activities within city
gates, is pursuing a policy which may
eventually perfect a manufacturing
and trading scheme, but which makes
absolutely no provision for putting it
into effect through the production Of
raw material and for sustaining it
through the production of food and
clothing.
We are engaged in n broad, lasting
development of our national life, yet
all roads lead to town, all action is
there, all plans are city plans. In the
United States the self-governing po-
litical unit is the county, each with a
county-seat, which is frequently a
sizable town or city, and for a great
part of them these counties are the
country in miniature exhib ting with
in their limits TO a greater or lesser
degree most of the imDOrtant vital
phases of our national life.
Who ever heard Of a county plan?

The schoolmaster could not well
avoid the conclusion that youth who
had the skill thus to conquer a re-
fractory mule would succeed in man

himself to Greenwood, talked with
him about his arithmetic. and asked
him If he would like to come to the
normal school and study.

HE KNEW HOW TO TEACH.
SchooImaster Reasoned That This Bow Had
the Ability

Mr.. James NJ. Greenwood, superin-
tendent Of the schools of Kansas City.
Mo, for thirty-five years, attracted
attention as a mere boy by his super
Tor ability. in mathematics. At the
age OF sixteen ne was at work on a
plantation I'm Arkansas. The princi-
pal of private normal school in that
vicinity had heard much about the
boy, Jim Greenwood writes Mr..
Mowry in his RecOllections of a New
England Educator and wanted to
see him, and on a certain Saturday he
walked over to the farm where Green
wood was living and inquired for the
boy.
lie was told that the young man
was out in the field plowing. and he
was directed how to find the place.
When he came in sight ne found the
boy plowing with a mule and cow.
The mule was balky and more de-
voted to kicking than to helping the
COW drag tho pillow. The principal OF
the normal school, Keeping out Of
sight, watched the process After va
rious attempts to make the animal do
its duty, Greenwood took a rope, and
making a slip knot ina one end, placed
it round the lower jaw of the mule.
and tied the osher end OF the rome to
Che fetlock of that leg of the mule
with which &c was accustomed to do
Che kicking. Then going back to the
piow he. gave the usual signal for the

returned to the pillow handles, and re-
poatei his command togo ahead. The
team started. and plowed straight on

The record of constructive philan-
thropy in the United States is remark
able from an almost exclusively city
point of view. Year after year great
national and local organizations lay
out programs, prepare budgets. col
lect funds, hire expert workers, and
take account of actual progress made
lin the cities. Existing conditions
are constantly being probed, dag
nosed, cauterized, cured or cut off.
while new conditions crowd on the
outskirts of the old, waiting their
turn. The cities are surely the hos
pitfalls for all and sundry social ills.
and their organization, staff and
equipment are bright with efficiency
and use.
r." The great pity attending this social
vaccination, treatment and GONZALES
cence, is the jealousy with which the
cities hold on to their hospital func-
ton and permanently house all pa
tients applying.
1t smacks OF absurdity to follow
our present course to it's logical con-
culsion. Social conditions are associ-
ated with population, and so must
their treatment be. If we continue to
conlne this treatment to population
after it has come to the cities, then
the resident population OF country
districts-which is generally thought
to be a good thing-will shortly be
exhausted. For sooner or later all
social conditions need treatment. AS
backing up this course OF reasoning
the population statistics of the United
States are good to quote. AT the time
OF the adoption of the constitution
eight or ten per cent. of our citizens
lived in towns and cities Every sub
sequent census has recorded a steady
shift from the country to the cities.
In 1850 some siXty-five per cent.
were still In the country, and in 1900
thirty-eight per cent. or thereabouts.
Whatever may be assigned as the rea-
son for this cityward current of peo-
pie, the most confirmed optimist can
scarcely find in the last decade any
new conditions in the country itself
to reverse the flow, and probably
never before in the history of the
world have the lure and promise of
cities so subtly and effectively shared
