Dinit, Not pennit.

In seeking honorable dismission from
a grange a member secures a card
known as g "dimit" This word is
often spelled incorrectly "demit," for
which there seems to be no valid rea-
son. A writer in the American Agri-
culturiSt gives the correct derivation
of the word rs from the Latin dimit-
tere, TO send away. Webster defines
it as to dismiss, let go or release
Demit is derived from the Latin de-
mittere, to end or bring down. to low
er. a dimit from an organization does
not lower one, and no grange should
accept bylaws from its committee with
such spelling in the text.

NEED OF THE HOUR,
A Closer Union In the Work OF
Grange Lecturers.
The Lecturer of the Michigan State
Grange Suggests Specific Methods
For improving Present Conditions.
Value of Directed Effort.
Especial Correspondonce.1 ]

'What in your opinion would
strengthen the grange and grange
work today?" you ask.
A closer union among the various
lecture departments, national, state,
pomona and subordinate. On the
basis that the greatest mission of the
grange is educational and that the lee
turcr occupies the position of teach
er the organization should develop
strong constructive plans for exploring
and pre-cmpting the full possibilities
of the lecture hour The system with
which its educational work is conduct
cd should be made coordinate with
that of other similar institutions de-
voted to agricultural and rural social
upift As whole, we will do our
best under an aggressive, stimulating
and directing force, emanating from
the highest ana permeating every de
gree of the order.
Some of the specific methods by
which this closer union might be en-
couraged are:
First Through communications and
advising by correspondence of the ma
tional lecturer with under lecturers.
nd.-Through up to date printed
matter relating to grange history, ac-
complishments. progressive methods
and present methods, made available
for distribution from the national and
state offices.
Third.-Through n few broad topics
suggested to form the basis of uni
formity in program work and to Sc
cure concentration of discussion
throughout the order within a given
time.
Fourth-Tmough lecturers confer
ences (a) at national sessions which
state oranges should encourage and
perhaps assist their lecturers to at
tend: dl) at state sessions, which po-
mona and subordinate oranges should
encourage and sometimes assist their
lecturers TO attend; (c) at pomona ses-
sious, which subordinate oranges
should encourage their lecturers to at
tend JENNIE BUELL.,

Men on the Farm.
The drift of young people from

National Stockmau. We no longer

every schoolhouse had its singing

are there also.
There is no better method of over
