The School as Social Center for the Farmer

VI lOPoi " " - ~ - l.. OOi1N1
In these the opening days Of The
New Year before the busy crop
making season begins, it would be
well for our farmers to think Sc.
riously and sooerly along the lines
Of social betterment for the com
munty Il is immensely import
ant for the farmer and the farmers
family that the social and coopera
tive life Of the community be the
best that it is possible to have.
Our farmers are beginning te
realize that the most Fundamental
force in any community looking t.
better social conditions on the
farm. is the school. When the
school conditions in the community
are good, the social life of the PEG
pie is deeper and richer and better
There should crystalline about the
school the best thought, the best
life in the community.
Farmers Unions or farm club
meetings together with farm de
monstration meetings and exhibits
of farm products of the community
may very pfofitably be held at the
school house. Boys Corn Club
meetings can be held here better
than any other place in the COM
munity, 1t is splendid meeting
place too for womens social and
study clubs and entertainments of
all kinds. including lectures on
practical and scientific subjects of
interest to the farmer and to the
farmers boy and girl.
1t is a recognized fact that much
of our teaching in the rural schools
for a generation or more has been.
not for living on the farm but for
living away from the farm. Much
of the best life of the rural com
munities has been drifting to the
towns and cities. There should be
recall from the city to the farm
and this recall will come wher
the school becomes in reality the
social center for the farmer. Tt
expect this. to hope for this oul
farmers are not "idealizing" 1t is
the practical, common sense way
of meeting conditions as they exist
and when our farmers desire these
things and desire them to such an
extent that they will see to it that
the school assumes their rightful
position and place in the communi-
ty, then and then only will the
thing be done The whole COM
munity will be touched at every
point. Farm life will be brighter
and better and the school will in
deed be the social center for the
community. CLAY SLOAN,
Commissioner of Agriculture.

Lee Stays In Chair.

When the committeeman gathered
in the committee room, Mr.. Bassett
was In favor Of excluding Chair

When he made this proposal Chair
man Lee said the committee was al
ready in executive session and that
he was rightfully the presiding Off
cer The matter was not pressed
further, and Mr.. Lee remained in
the room throughout the session.
Mr.. Bassett represented the pro-
Taft element.
While committeeman were in eau
Gus reports came to Mr.. Lee s
friends that a proposal had been sub
mitted by Mr.. New for the i'm
mediate removal of Mr.. Lee from the
craftsmanship.
| When seen later Mr.. New vigor
ously denied this report. He said al
no time had he made such PROPOSE
ton. Mr.. New said the only re
mark he had ever made to anybod,
concerning the removal OF Chairma,
Lee was that if he (Mr. New) hat
been a member of the state com
mittee he would have felt like votins
for Mr.. Lees removal. However
he said he had made no proposal tt
have Mr.. Lee removed.

Entertain At Dinner.

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Worthing-
ton entertained at a family dinner
Christmas day for 20 guests, among
whom were many from South Bend.
The house was beautifully decorated
with streameB Of red ribbons, Chi
mas bells and stars. The table dec
oratiOns were carnations and roses.
Among the guests we're Mr.. and Mrs.
James Brittenham, Mr.. and Mrs. J..
j. Sausen, jr., Mr.. and Mrs. Lyle
Brittenham and Miss Neveda West
of South Bend; Mr.. and Mrs.

pose of making glad the children of
South Bend who were needy. Teach
ers were notified end brought the
poorly clad and unfortunate little
girls and boys under their charge in
groups of five or eight, and they
were given such articles Of clothing
and such toys as were appropriate.
$1,000 of this money went for cloth
ing and $500 for toys and things to
please. At the Ellsworth store the
pitiful cases that were brought to
them, and the JOY and gladness of
the recipients of these gifts, was too
much for some of the sales-people
and they were themselves overcome
by the sight. To see the pitiful little
ones overjoyed by the warm cloth
ing and the kindly treatment ac-
corded them, was too much for
them, and some of the attendants
had to be helped away from the
scene.
There are thousand members in
this lodge. The Exalted Ruler is
George Clark Of Mishawaka. Who
ever it was that thought out and
executed this plan of playing "good
fellow" to the poor children Of
South Bend through this order, is
entitled to his due measure of praise
and proper credit is given to the
members from Plymouth who >hold
with them in such an act. The true
Christmas spirit was shown by these
men, and the "cup of cold water"
shall not be forgotten.

Lecturer Is Bogus.

A few weeks ago there came to
Plymouth foreigner, claiming to be
an Armenian, and a student of the
Wisconsin State University at
Madison. He was taken into the
good graces of the Methodist church
and spoke at Sunday evening SER
vice, where he related many circum-
stances of his life, and Of the pre-
secution he endured for the sake of
religion, and told what he intended
to do when he went back. He was
on a vacation from his studies, lee
turing to raise money to pay for his
schooling. He was kindly received,
and an appointment was made for
him to deliver lecture one evening
the week following his Sunday eve
ming talk. For some reason but few
came out to hear him, and his effort
was not a success in Plymouth, but
the Methodist church people done
their part in aiding him.. by giving
the use of their house, with heating
and light, etc.
The same man has been lecturing
in various places, and Schuyler Judd
of Lakeville, wrote to the Wisconsin
University to ascertain the facts
concerning the man, and is informed
that no such man is a student at
that institution. Mr.. Judd says ssHe
appeared very devout, and kindly
allowed the churches Is percent Of
the receipts of his lectures" His
name is K. Bagdasarian, and he is a
young man of some ability if he be
wisely directed.

kerchiefs from which tie girls pres

Miss Marie Cleveland entertained
about forty-fve friends on Thurs
day evening in honor of her eleventh

Punch was served In the dining
room while later In the evening
Mrs. Cleveland served delicious r.
freshments. Dainty tissue paper

lightful evening the young people

turns of the day.

off as long as possible. Mr.. Cromer
moved to amend Mr. Thomas mo-
ton by fixing the date in the middle
of January. Mr.. Bennett and Mr..
Lee thought the earliest date for the
election of a chairman should be the
middle ofgFebruary. The discussion
is reported to have been of peace
able feature. February 2 was final
ly agreed ON without a dissenting
vote.
The pro-Taft men say this is a
distinct victory for them, as Febru-
ary 2 is not an unreasonably long
time for them to wait before dis
pensing with the services Of Mr.. Lee
as chairman. Mr.. Lee thinks Febru-
airy 2 is later time than the pro-
Taft men wished, and his friends
say Mr.. Lee came out of the meeting
advantageously, as his enemies fail
ed to obtain the reported extreme
measures said to have been planned
against him.
Restraint Is Watchword.
There were efforts at the meeting
to smooth over any possible diff
culties which might cause further
and more serious descriptions in the
party. Restraint was the watch
word with everybody. G. A. H.
Shideler, who held the proxy of
Francis I. Stults. chairman of the
Eleventh district. was one of those
who attempted to pour oil on the
troubled waters by couns ling har-
mony. As Mr.. Stults is postmaster
at HUNTINGTON he was excused from
active participation in the committee
meeting. However, he YVES In In
dianapolis and was close enough to
the committee room to be called in
if needed.
The matter of presidential prefer
ence primaries, which friends of
Senator LaFollette have been pro-
posing for Indiana. was not take,
up at the meeting and was not even
discussed.
A number of prominent Republi-
cans from various parts of the state
gathered in the lobby of the Clavpool
'@'nl and discussed partv matters
~hile the committee meeting was be-
m held. The majority of them
seemed to disagree with the attitude
tak"n by Chairman Lee against
President Taft.
