Social Centers and Civic
Unity.
r. K. Phillips.


1t has been with pleasure that l
have read the articles in Farm and
Ranch on Civic Unity, by G. W.
Holman and other writer's. And
it should b. q matter of pride to
all who are interested in the deve-
lopment of our great Southwest
that a paper like Farm and Ranch
is taking su:h an interest in the
social advancement of our people.
1t may perhaps wound our pride
to admit that conditions are so far
from what they should be. but ha-
wing once made the admission, we
are then in position to work for
better things.
Carnegie libraries for few CT
ties, which are able to support
them arc of but little value in
reaching the mass of tho people.
We must devise some means OF
getting the libraries into the small
towns and country communities,
and of making these libraries a
part of the lives of the people. l
believe that the work now being
done by Farm and Ranch will be
productive of untold good in the
future, for they are showing the
people how to help themselves,
and that is the best help that can
be given to any man or communi-
ty.
When I was a boy in school, my
teacher one day made tho state
ment that he thought every man
should be forced to teach school
for at least six months, 80 that he
might know the difficulties under
which the teacher labored. The
remark struck me with force at the
time, and since arriving q man.
hood I often feel that my old in
structor was very nearly right.

the lessons l learned there will re-
main with me throughout life. My
first term was spent in a school
room situated in tho heart OF the
black land belt of Central Texas.
Although tho land iu the district
was as rich as the Valley of tho
Nile. the school building would
have been a discredit to tho poor
est farming community in Ameri-
ca. On tho coldsst days of the
winter, the school had to DO dis

because the building could Mt kept
warm. The district did not repre-
sent any community whatever, ha-
wing boon arbitrarily laid of for
school purposes only. There was
no public meeting of any kind held
in the sohoolhouse during the en-
tire term, and the trustees were
about the only visitors that the
school ever had. Now, if that
schoolhouse could have been used
for public meetings, as a place for
social enjoyment, it would have
been speedily repaired and made
comfortable; and if tho patrons,
pupils and teacher could have
been brought together in social
way each week. or oven once in
two weeks, the efficiency of the
school might easily have been in.
creased 100 per cont.
The schoolhouse being the COM
mon property Of the whole people,
it can be made the center of the
social life of the people.
Why erect school buildings and
then use Thorn only eight hours a
day? Why devote so much time
and money to the education of our
boys aud girls, and whom they have
reached the age of II shut tho
door of the school room in their
faces and tell them they are bar
red forever? Let us get rid of the
musty and archaic idea that sdu-
cation is a thing ii for young and
immature minds, and that tho
fountain of knowledge should DO
denied all those who have reached
the ago of discretion and have be-
gun tho battle of life. Many q
man Of 40 is a moro ardent seeker
after knowledge than he was dur
ing the years in which the state
had furnished him free tuition.
Lot Us make our schools some
thing more than a place to teach
our boys AMI girls to read and

houses with q view of using them
as places for social gatherings and
lectures. Let them contain libra
ries filed with the worlds best

contain, not only the best thought
of tho great minds of the past. but
they should also contain those
books which treat of modern life,
of the latest achievement OF
the best methods of farming, of

 Fruit to start the morning meal Is at once appetizing and wholesome. The processes of digestion are more rapid in the morning. and hence fruits, which are more quickly digested is to eat only an apple in the morning, the dinner in the
 evening not later than o'clock, and a lunch of only one or two articles of sub
 stantia food at noon. This plan is easily adopted by the sedentary worker and the beneficial results are soon apparent. af- ter the system has become adapted to 1t Green salads and green vegetables, such as tomatoes. in all forms. with plenty of

Russia's Queen Doctors

From the London Chronicle.
 Doctors in Russia would probably vel come a national scheme of insurance against sickness, Dr. Ralph Thompson, in Medical Europe states that .in Rus sia nobody ever asks the physician the amount of his bill. It is universally un- derstoo that a gentleman pays his doc tor fair sum-such a sum as he can afford to pay within the limits of his income and sense of generosity. The Russian mind cannot conceive how a man engaged in the holy pursuit of saw ing life and alleviating suffering can put a price on his services" After this it is not surprising to learn from the same authority that Russia is the only European country of importance where the medical profession is not over crowded.

EXECUTIONER WANTS JOB
Business Falls Off in China and For
 tune of An See SOO Declines

From the New York Telegram
 An See Soc, heriditary executioner of Ming Yan Tse, came into port Thursday on board the stamship Seneca. in from Chinese and Japanese ports. Because of the skill which came from years spent in the exercise of his art in China, An See Soo is billeted on the ships papers as cooks assistant, being the principal decapitator of chickens eaten by the 40 other Chinese in the crew.
 Because the missionaries came An See Soo and An See Lee, his father, rolled in wealth and prosperity. The crop of criminals never failed them then. and never a day went by that they did not draw their snickernee and remove some wrongdoer from this earthly existence. This constant practice made them so expert in shortening the stature of their fellow villagers that they were the most popular executioners for many miles around.
 With the coming of the missionaries began the decline of the fortunes of the house of An. The missionaries may not have materially raised the ethical stand ards of the Ming Yen Tse-tes. but they made it cost more to attain the dignity of being beheaded by the artistic An See See who becam me sole executioneer by the death of his father.
 Under the old regime it had been pos- sibe to be decapitated for almost any thing at all. The influence of the mis- sionaries caused the village elders to de- eide that to be executed a man must steal something worth at least s20. This so reduced the opportunities of the ambi- tious in Ming Yen Tse that an execution a month got to be considered a pretty brisk business. Moreover. the mission aries got them to change deca pitation for hanging, which is not so dignified and does not demand such art on the part of the executioner.
 An hated to do 1t. but finally promised to turn hangman instead of headsman. As no one could find anything in Ming Yen Tse worth s20 to steal and as they did not like to be hanged Ans work fell off to nothing. No longer able to devote himself to his art because of lack Of material. An put the button which show ed his honorable station In life on his cap and went down to the sea and shipped on the Seneca.
