The School as Social
Center for the Farmer

Prepared by Prof. j. l.. Bond.

Boys corn club meeting can be held
here better than at any other place in
the community. 1t is a splendid meet
ting place, too, for womens social and
study clubs and for entertainments of
all kinds, including lectures on prac-
teal and scientific subjects of general
interest to the farmer and to the
farmers boy and girl.
By these means the farmers will see
and know that the school as the CEN
| ter of the social life of the community
may stand for a better, richer and
happier farm life for the farmer and
his family. His children come to feel
! and realize that life on the farm is
just as attractive as life in the town
or city.
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 communities
has been drifting to the towns and
cities. There should be a "recall'
from the city to the farm and this
"recal" will come when the school be-
comes in reality the social center for
the farmer. To expect this, to hope
for this, our farmers is not "idealiz-
ing" 1t is the practical, common
sense way of meeting conditions as
they exist, and when our farmers de-
sire these things and desire them to
such an extent that they will see to
it that the school assumes this right
full position and place in the commun-
ity, then and then only Will the thing
be done. The whole community sill
be touched at every point Farm life
will be richer and better and the
school will indeed be the social center
for the community.
The log cabin Democrat. [volume] (Conway, Ark.) 1908-current, 1912-01-27

In these, the opening days of the
New Year, before the busy crop max
ing season begins, it would be well for
our farmers to think seriously and So
berly along the lines of social better
ment for the community. 1t is i'm
mensely important for the farmer and
for the farmers family that the So
cial and cooperative life of the COM
munity be the best that it is possible
to have.
Our farmers are beginning to real
ize that the most fundamental force
in any community looking to better So
cial conditions on the farm, is the
school. When the school conditions in
the community are good, the social life
of the people is deeper and richer and
better. There should crystalline about
the school the best thought, the best
life in the community.
That these conditions may obtain
and in order that there may be that
cooperative spirit and purpose with
out which better school conditions can
not be secured, in all matters pertain
ing to the common interests of the
farmer and the farmers family there
should be frequent meetings at the
schoolhouse, where the different agen-
cies of cooperation for rural better
ment may be discussed and brought to
the attention of the people of the COM
munity.
The dominate spirit of this day
and time is that of co-operation-a
unity of purpose and acton in mat
tiers pertaining to the community well
fare
Farmers unions or farm club meet
ings, together with farm demonstra-
ton meetings and exhibits of farm
products of the community, may very
profitably be held at the sehoolhouse.
