is good to see the boys and girls who
are just learning to read take up
their first newspaper and begin TO
read to their parents at home.
In the eighth place, there is the
farmers column. Very often one
weeks issue OF The Citizen adds
twenty or thirty dollars to the
farmers income by teaching him
some useful thing.
In the ninth place there is the house
keepers department. Often and often
the housewife lightens her labors or
improves her table or restores the
health of a sick child by reason Of
the things she learns in The Citizen.
In the tenth place, there is the
continued story. Some people do not
believe In reading stories. but IL de-
ponds upon what kind OF story II
is. II you read really good story
IL is just as though you had become
acquainted with a lot of interesting
people. II certainly is instructive
to watch how people live and act
and what comes of their actions. IL
ought to make US wiser and better
to read really good stories.
In the eleventh place. there are the
market reports. Often a man makes

gether!
Now to meet this need some OF ns
In Berea dozen years ago started a
country newspaper. want TO talk
to you about The Citizen, which was
started on purpose to help this need
Of the farmers for mental food. There
are two educational institutions at
Berea, Berea College and The Citizen.
The Citizen is published by a com
pany OF men, of whom I am one,
and we don't expect to make any
money out OF Il. For dozen years
we have been sinking money right
along, but we did want to have a
newspaper that could go into every
farmers home and help him right
where his need is greatest. The far
mer may be shut up at home with
a lame ankle or because the bridge
is washed away. lie may miss hear
ing sermons because the preacher
fails TO get around. But the news

week, II he is a subscriber. The Unit
ed States government believes that
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1911-09-07

In the third place. The Citizen
gives the real news that is import
ant promptly and fully. You know
every week what has been happening
In the great world. what has been
happening at Washington, what has
been happening in our own state and
what has been happening in your
own neighborhood.
In the fourth place, there Is the
Sunday School lesson. This is the
lesson that is studied by almost all
the English speaking people OF the
world. II we take The Citizen we
can keep up with this great army
OF Bible students.
In the fifth place. there Is the SER
mon. We hear some words OF wis
dom from the great preachers Of
the nation.

Temperance column, and we keep
track of the progress OF this great
reform.

have to run it, and it has kept ME
more than once.
/ am very anxious you should really
understand that it has been impossi-
BILE for me to see my friends around
here, as / love to do, because ! have
been so busy raising necessary money
and so long broken down from the
effects of overwork.
In the fist place do you remember
that the beautiful buildings in Berea
College which the students enjoy and
which look so splendid do not bring
US in any money but every one OF
them costs money for repairs and
insurance and cleaning?
In the next place, do you realize
that we can only use the money put
into the hands OF our trustees by
good people for the purpose for
which 1t was given? People do not
give us money to use as we please
but only to use for certain fixed pur-
poses. We may have money to build
Pearsons' Hall or to buy a piece OF
forest land and not have money TO
pay our teachers.
And in the third place, do you real
:ze that no matter how much money
we have IL will not be enough II We
have too many students? Berea has
a great deal more money than It
used to have but THE STUDENTS
HAVE INCREASED FASTER THAN
THE MONEY. When we had three
hundred students we could take care
of them more easily with the money
we had then than We can take care
OF the fourteen hundred students with
the money we have now.
Well, all these things have kept
me busy and broken me down. For
fifteen years l suppose ! have work.
ed more hours a day than any other
man In Kentucky, and some Of you
know that head work is as hard as
hand work. Then got TO the place
where l could not work and bring
anything TO pass and the doctor said

things ] had been worrying about
here
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1911-09-07

two great lacks in life in the country.
The first of these is that country peo-
pie have too little love for their
neighbors. We love our own families,
but we do not see our neighbors Of
ten enough to love them and join
hands with them as we might. Every
body has done some foolish and
wrong things. and country people Of
ten remember every wrong and fool
ish thing their neighbors have done
and remember nothing else. We start
to elect a man to be school trustee
or superintendent of the Sunday
School He is a pretty good man and
would fill the office in a way that
would be advantageous to his neigh
bors, but somebody remembers that
five years ago he made some great
mistake and they bring that up AGAINST
him. The result of this is often that
nobody in the country is brave en-
ough to go ahead. We do not have
a good school because the school
trustee is afraid. We do not have
a Sunday School because nobody dares
stand up and be superintendent. ]
tell you, my neighbors, we must
learn to appreciate the people who
live around US. Remember that we
have made some mistakes ourselves.
God forgives sin and forgets II, and
we must do the same. In every COM
munity we must have the best men
elected to office, and In every neigh
borhood we must have a Sunday
School and not wrangle over the Of
fices and the leadership of il.
The other great lack In country life
is food for the mind. On the farm
we have plenty OF time TO think.
The farmer can think while he is
engaged in his work better than a
man In shop or store; but the
trouble is the farmer does not have
enough things to think about. He
sees few people. he attends few meet
ings, he reads few books, his mind
is like a fertile field which is plant
cd with an insufficient amount OF
seed. IL is a corn field where there
il only one kernel planted In a hill
and great many hills missed alto
The citizen. [volume] (Berea, Ky.) 1899-1958, 1911-09-07

II is very important that the peo-
pie in the country should have some
thing to read, and, as you all know.
Uncle Sam spends a great deal of
money every year in having the mails
carried over these lonely country
routes, where the mail is light and
the government is losing money all
the time. II spends that money for
the benefit of the farmer. 1t brings
his paper to him even though Il
loses money in so doing.
Now here is a copy of The Citizen.
Let me show you what we aim TO
give in this paper.
First of all. it shall not contain, If
we can help it, any badness. II does
not contain the stories about wicked
ness which fill SO many newspapers.
In the second place, 1t will not con-
tain, If we can help 1t. any lies.
am sorry to say that many newspa-
pers receive pay for telling things
that are not true. They will praise
one man and dispraise another thru
favoritism of one kind or another.
And they will print advertisements
of bogus medicines. The Citizen tries
to tell the truth, and nothing but
the truth.

Mallory Springs Picnic
competeGood Music Sports Feeling
President Frost Praises Country Life and
Recommends The Citizen

Saturday morning II was good to
see the roads leading toward Mallory
Springs quite thronged by happy
faces.
"All play and no work makes Jack
bad boy;
"All work and no play makes Jack
a dull boy"
Six school districts had turned out
for a basket picnic.
We think there was plenty to eat,
but the eating is not the main thing
at the right kind Of a picnic. The
boys and girls had some good romps
around the springs, and Pres. Frost
taught the boys some of the sports
used on shipboard. The rooster fight
was something new and taking"
And the music. The big Victrola
gave us selections, comic and pathetic,
from the great singers and the big
bands and wound up by a speech in
the voice of Pres. Taft. Miss Am
brose, who is the pride of all Madi-
son and Jackson Counties, sang two
solos, and Mr.. Dick led in some gem
eral songs that gave every one
chance to make a joyful noise.
President Frost spoke in part as
follows:
Friends and Neighbours:
Many have asked me today why
1t is so long since l have visited my
friends at Mallory Springs and real
ly want to have you know. ! often
fear you think Berea College is rich
and its president can do just what
he is a mind to. Let me take you
into my confidence today and explain
to you a little about the business of
the president of a College like Be-
rea. Berea is not a money-making
institution. II every student paid
what his education cost and a few
dollars over Berea College would be
rich and its president would have
nothing to do except supervise the /,
school and draw his salary. But Be-
rea is here to help the people who /
cannot pay what such an education /
costs, and so we have to raise a
great deal of money to keep the .
school going. And you will notice
that we have to raise this money
whether or no. When we have en-
gagged teachers we have to pay them.
When we have started a school we

the selection Of good stock. II some
men had not gone further than the
philosophical education on the log.
The equipment OF a school is secont
only to the teacher. Give a good
teacher a poor school house, a miser-
able black board, and old-fashioned
books, and he win almost give up In

accomplish but half as much under
such circumstances as he would with
good building and good equipment.
But the greatest effect Of all Is on

And the best school is the school

and II has the best teachers. All
these things go together 20 impress
the student that he Is at school y
business. that he has all he needs To-
learn with, that his teachers know
their subjects and are ANXIOUS Cor his
advancement. These are the silent
but powerful factors in education.
There is n small instrument that
shows the power OF sunlight. We all
know that white clothes are cooler
than black ones because they reflect
most OF the sunlight. The small boz
knows how TO make a wooden wind

wish I could tell you all the
things | saw In the ocean voyage
and the time | spent in England
Scotland and France. found things
Just as they are described In the
geography. The Atlantic Ocean IL
three thousand miles across, London
is the biggest city in the world,
Scotland is the mountain region of
been there.
But | love to be here in Kentucky,
and when am in Kentucky would
rather be in the mountains than any
where else. l believe I'm country life
| have seen most of the great cities
of the world, | am acquainted with
hundreds of people who are working
in shops and factories and stores and
offices, but l believe the people who
are born in the country and who
live there have a better time in this
world and a better chance of getting
to heaven.
In the first place, country life Is
independent. The owner of a farm
is boss as well as workman. He has
the fun of management and II makes
him a bigger man than the fellow
who works always at one bench in
a shop or at one counter in a store.
And the farmer is not so helpless as
the city man. With his land and
his crops and his animals and his
own roof over his head he is a kind
of king.
And country life is healthful. At
any rate, you do not have to be
made sick by your neighbor's dirt.
And you are out of doors. At the
Presidents house In Berea have
built two great porches so that while
must spend much time in my office
and study can sleep out of doors.
And country life is honey. The
family is by itself. The father and
mother are with the children, and
the children are with each other.
In the city families are scattered.
The father is away all day and the
children dispense to different schools
and workshops, and from weeks
End to weeks end they do not have
he opportunity to be with each
other that we enjoy in the country.
But no life is perfect, and there are
