AS was said recently, most of us no

these possessions than the people Of
Europe before 1892 appreciated what
1t meant to have the earth. There
was a whole hemisphere of i~ncalcula-
BILE wealth and opportunity about
which they knew nothing. And in the
school plant there is a whole hem
isphere Of value unrealized, undiscov-

sional evening school,"
The school building should be the
capitol Of the neighborhood, the focal
point of educational. recreation, po-
litical and social life. Its importance
as a place for the development Of in
telligent public spirit through the free
discussion of public questions is funda-
mental. for those who are opening u
schoolhouses for the largest public
service are simply carrying on the ira
ditions of freedom"
Back in the eighties it was custom
airy to turn the schoolhouse over to
the janitor at 4 o'clock for sweeping.
An hour later he locked the doors, and
the building was not used by anybody
during the rest Of the day. When he
got through on Friday afternoon the
school premises were closed until the
following Monday morning. On Sat
urday and Sunday the school grounds
were stunned as forbidden territory.
During the long summer months no
n entered them except possibly the
workmen who went there to make re-
pairs. The whole school property was
used from 0 to 4. during 1870 days out
of the ~year-about 80 per cent of the
total disable period. But within a
couple of decades a vast movement has
been started for a wider use of the

Yes. he did"
Then that's the way we must be
