The democratic party has never

A RURAL SOCIAL CENTER.

Can we make the schoolhouses
serve as neighborhood centers in the
rural districts? That is a question
which caused much discussion at the
Social Center Conference recently held
in Madison, Wis. THE wider use of
the school plant" has been a marked
success in cities where people live
close together. Can it be made equal
ly successful in farming communities
where folks are more widely scat
tered? We want you to read the let
ter that follows. 1t was addressed to
the Wisconsin state superintendent of
education by Mr.. Erie ]. Stoneman, a
rural school teacher and a leader in
the Farmers Club of his district in
Manitowoc county. Mr.. Stoneman
writes:
THE Farmers Club was started in
my district two years ago. The con-
stitution of the club provides that
these meetings shall be held every sed
ond Wednesday evening from the first
of November until the middle of April.
The sessions are to begin at 1880
p. m. and close at 10 p. m. The farm
ers of the district discuss farm topics
and problems. Not only the men talk
but also the After each topic
the speaker keeps the floor and an
swers question on his topic which may
be asked by any one in the assembly.
Volunteer information on the topic
may be given by anyone in the audi
ence.
1--WE aim to get at the puzzling prob
lens of our community and the things
that are bothering our farmers. For
instance: Much of the farm land in
the district is low and drainage is a
problem with us; so last winter at our
club we had drainage and the thing of
land discussed at two different times.
At every meeting we have one outside
speaker, either one of our county Off
Gals or a man outside of our commun-
ity who has some particular hobby,
such as a horticulturist, beeman or
fr%uit-grower. After each program the
people usually stay for a little social
chat and to exchange news. After our
last program last year we had a spread
and served hot coffee and good things
to eat. That meeting lasted until 1
o'clock the next morning. One of the
features of our last years club was
a potato fair held in the school, at
which prizes were given by a local
potato grower. Our local club was also
a great help to the town fair held in
our town this year, at which the chill
dren exhibited products grown in their
school gardens. Nearly a thousand
people attended this fair. 1t was one
of the most successful ventures ever
attempted here"
If you were a farmer in that dis.
trict, wouldn't you belong to that club?
We are sure you would. But it isn't
to move to Manitowoc coun-
ty. You and your neighbors may start
a farmers club in your school district.
We think Mr.. Stoneman's letter makes
it appear very much worth while. And
