Il was attracted at Prescott by the
workings of the neighborhood school
center which was recently established
here. 1t was SO interesting and every

ually making full use of the public
property they pay taxes to keep up.

children. using the public square green
as Il playground for evening recrea-
ton. l saw parents and children get
together in the schoolhouse for an

come more ~ncighborly in this little
time than they have been for a gener-
alton. In a word the town has found
its social center. And practically
, everybody. except the members of one
: small church. recognizes that center
!, now. That church backed out he

i, girls to dance Russian folk dances and
: do other ring-round-the rosy stunts.
