THE health of the community,
depends upon the wholesome sat-
isfaction of [the] Wholesome in
stinct of getting together for
wholesome talk and recreation, E.
if you know people, things look
different, among the people who
watch life and help it to live
there is the spirit that rejects
the conscious notion of clearing
| up the world. The Wisconsin
University has created an office
whose duties are to develop
neighborhood centers, through
out the State and to assist in
their activities. One result of
this has been the recent National
Convention at Madison with dele
Igates from sixteen states and the
formation there of the National
Association of Social Centers and
Civic Development with head
quarters now established in New
York City. And the University
of Virginia has followed Wiscon-
sin in establishment of a Social
Center Department, and other
Universities have afoot similar
plans. 1t is as if the adventure
of being human were something
new. 1t is not new. 1t is the
ancient and simple way to &C
complish ment :. . Only children
and sages know that folks are
are folks -"
Every Superintendent OF
schools, every public school
teacher, and especially every
lSecretary and other officer or
ipatron of a Y. M. C. A, Chris
tan Endeayor, or similar or
ganization, are leaders in this
work. This is the Chautauqua
Movement which grew out of the
old Camp Meeting System, and
the system of Lyceum Lectures,
land it should have, and believe,
will rapidly receive the cordial
support and Endorsement of all
the members and all the minis
tiers of all the churches. ! can
conceive no higher duty of any
church member and church Of
icer, and every christian minister
than to aid in this good work, and
1 will now read something of
this vision as it appeared to me
in 1890 az years ago. when l
took the field as The Tribune of
the People and for s years lived
on my road from Lexington to
Chambersburg, travelling on foot
and in any sort OF vehicles going
my ways, and working at the
type case, assisted in the press
| work and binding and mailing of
our periodical, by my first wife
and our children.
AS l sketched this vision
there and then in this introduce
+! ton to new part of the first ed
ition of my writings, l little
thought that for seven years to
come / was to measure so large a
portion of the Shenandoah Val
ley, and so much of the Cumber-
land Valley over so often with
soles of my feet and behind the
feet of SO many horses including
the iron horse that draws the
railway trains, and eat more
meals in the stores and groceries
and hotels and boarding houses l
advertised, and especially to sleep
in more farmers homes and eat at
tables of more farmers than any
man who travelled the country
since the war of '61-'65.
The University Extension Lee
turer and Writer of a quarter Of
century ago, are now superseded
by the great Chautauquas and
Civic Leagues and the various
state and school and church or
CARNATIONS, and so will begin |
my readings from the 1st, I'd, |
Sd editions of my writings, and |
from the poem of The Brother |
