THE SCHOOL AS THE SOCIAL
CENTER OF COMMUNITY

One Of the best addresses OF the
North Dakota Educational asgocia-
ton convention which closed yester-
day was the address by Miss Minnie
y. Nelson Of Valley City. Speaking
on the schools as the social centers
she said:
My grandmother used to say. eff
: ifs and ands were kettles and pans
there'd be. no trade for tinkers." I
was about to begin this discussion by
saying II we had consolidated schools
there would be no need for this num-
Der on the programme, for the social
ization Of the school would as natural

The scfoolhouse would be the center
OF the social life Of the neighborhood
without any effort or thought. with
Its well equipped gymnasium for bas-
ketball and other games, Its WELL
equipped department of domestic aci-
ence, Its large auditorium. it natural

social and religious life Of the COM

when many of these beacon lights
tower over our fields of grain and be-
cause we have Just the one room

no effort to make the schoolhouse a
magnet toward which the people Of
the community WIN be drawn during
the long winter months when they
have time for something else beside
work.
We all realize the crying need OF
the advancement of the social life Of
our rural communities. There is
sameness, monotony and loneliness
Of life, a lack of inspiration and out
look unknown to the city population.
Sociologists tells us that "Only the
agricultural class possesses perma-
nent vitality. From it's overflow the
city population Is formed, displaced,
renewed" The people OF the cities are
realizing that after all the future veal
or woes of our nation is being shaped
in the country and some excellent or

Y. M. G. A. are doing effective work
in this regard. One of their secre-
taries in a little pamphlet called a.
Plea for Country Girls says. There Is
slight intellectual stimulus in the
country and little that leads to am
bilious desires for promoting educa-
tional development. In our grand
mothers day the spelling bee, the
singing school. the literary society,
and the debating club afforded not

Aously enough these organizations
have been grossly neglected for one
reason and another and are no longer
in existence. The little red school
house is now seldom the arena for
fierce debates and the mecca to which
the big boys and big girls on the farm
travel during the winter months, for
we find in the country schoolroom

TAPESTRIES IN NEW DESIGNS
Are Prettier Than Those of
Recent Seasons.

Each year brings its special fashions
in furnishings, and just now. when the
question of house cleaning is promi-
nently to the fore, no little interest is
being taken in tie new chintz and
tapestries which are now on show for
loose coverings of all kinds. Every
where one notices the effect of the
Jacobean influence which is reassert-
ing itself in matter appertaining to
household decorations.
In place of the bunch Of roses tied
with bows of colored ribbon, which
have figured on all chintz of late, one
finds the new furnishing fabrics are
printed in variation of rich reds,
green's browns or wine color on a
cream ground, or display bold 'conven-
tional designs somewhat closely pat.
termed. which lend themselves admir-
ably to furnishing purposes and which
look far more handsome and imposing
than the simple floral designs OF yes
terday?
This new Jacobean taffeta is being
used for curtains. bedspreads and
cushion covers, as well as for cover
ing chairs and sofas.

SERGE is POPULAR MATERIAL
Coats for Both Grown-Ups and Chill
dren Are Seen Both in Dark Blue
and Checks.

Serge is preferred to cloth for the
serviceable coat and very often a
smart little coat of serge has no
trimming at all save a big collar of
some contrasting material.
Dark blue serge and black and
white check seem to be the favor
ties for the tailored coats designed tor
serviceable wear, though biscuit and
khaki tones are considerably used.
On the dark blue serge big collar
of dull blue crash, plain or with seal
Hoped and embroidered edge and per-
haps some other embroidery design
is liked. Ecru linen is used for col
lars, too. and some little coats in dark
blue have big collars of soft rose linen
embroidered in white
Then, too, big collars of embroid-
cred white pique are very smart on
the dark coats. Often in the coats
for children from three to six years
of age the coat which falls almost to
the bottom of the dress has collar
wide over the shoulders and sloping
down quite to the bottom of the coat.
Or perhaps the fronts cross diagonally,
following the natural line of such a
collar and two big buttons are set on
diagonally at the very bottom of the
overlapping front, the collar ending
just above.

SMOOTH EYE NEEDLE BEST
Choice of Needles for Embroidery
Matter in Which Great Care
Should Be Exercised.

Exercise care in the choice of nee
dies for embroidery. The best is g
needle with smooth eye that allows
the silk plenty of leeway and will not
pull or rough it.
Be sure your needle is adapted tc
the size of the silk. A too small eye
cuts and trays the silk, gathering II
in a thick lump which must be forced
through the fabric. A too large one
on the other hand, shows the holes
and makes the work look as If it had
too few stitches.

usual materials. No. 9 or No. II

The Worth Of the Voice.

How wonderful is the human voice!
1t is indeed the organ of the soul!
The intellect of man sits enthroned
visibly upon his forehead and in his
eye. and the heart of man is written
upon his countenance. But the soul
reveals itself in the voice only: as
God revealed himself to the prophet
of old in the still, small voice, and in
the voice from the burning bush. The
soul of man is audible, not visible.
A sound alone betrays the flowing of
the eternal fountain, invisible to man.
