Reading Room Suggested.

We suggested last week the organ
ization of debating club in the town,
and we feel sure it would prove in
structive and entertaining to the young
and old of the community.
Along the same line comes another
suggestion which is deserving of consid-
GRAFTON, and which we trust will take
FORM
1t is the establishment of a reading
room. A new lot of books have been
ordered for the county school library,
which with those on hand could be
made available for the purpose, if the
citizens of the town will cooperate.
The County Superintendent, Miss Pearl
Hindman, expresses her willingness to
open her Office any two evenings a
week, and to furnish the use of the
books in the library-the books not to
be removed.
In connection with this should be two
or three papers, and the leading period
icals.
A small contribution from our public
spirited citizens could secure all the
current literature that would be re.
quired. The periodicals could be re-
tanned in the office, in connection with
the library.
We trust some one will take charge
of this matter. 1t would certainly
greatly benefit the community, especial
ly our young people,

that 1T makes no difference whether

but the Jacksonburg location would

COUNTRY LIFE
AFFAIR NEXT
Institute Will Be Held in Con-
nection with Washington
Presbytery Meeting.

"a Country Life Institute win be
held at West Alexander, Pa. April
II and is, in connection with the
spring meeting of the Washington
presbytery. 1t viii be OF interest to
farmers, rural bankers, country
school teacher. ministers and al! who
live and serve in the country.
Th!s Institute will be held in the
Presbyterian church, of which the
Rev. Howell M. Evans is the pastor
1t will be under tho direction Of the
Department of Church and Country
Life of the Presbyterian Board OF
Home Missions. The superintendent
Of the department, IDr. Warren IL.
Wilson, OF New York. will preside.
This department is formed to study
the country church and community
and to develop an enlargement of
the service rendered 10y the church
to the country population.
The modern farmer does not live
in his own home alone, or on his owa
land. The important unit OF life
today is the community. 1t is nee
lessary that there be a. new kind If
a school and a new kind of church
in The country community. The
study of this problem of community
building Is the central feature of
this institute. The prosperity of the
farmer gives him PROMISE of much
larger life than has been possible in
the past. For this larger prosperity
the farmer is planning the best in
stitutions and those suited to his
needs.
More and more students of coun-
try life are coming to recognize that
the first value of the church Is as a
social institution. 1t is the most
widely extended type of organization
OF farmers, and the farmer is the
largest factor in the membership of
Protestant churches. Where the
farm is best managed, the churches
are strong. Where farming is a
failure, the churches are abandoned
The one corresponds to the other.
This is the reason why the Country
Life Institute has business with the
work of the farmer.
Some of the topics for discussion
will he THE Cooperation of Church,
Grange, and other Community In
stttutlons," The Church for the
Working Farmer" and Satisfying
the Social Need of Country People,
These subjects will lbe presented by
men who are speaking from large
experience and successful work in
the country.
