SCHOOLHOUSE AS A SOCIAL
 CENTER

The movement for the use of the
 schoolhouse or other public building
 as social center began in 1907 in
 Rochester, N. Y., under the. leader
 ship of E. J. Ward. It has since ex- tended through the country.
 In 1913 there were POT cities in the United States reporting evening ac- tivities in the public schools, not in cluding night schools and not limited to students. Some of the activities were lectures and entertainments, adult clubs, discussions of local prob
 lens, athletics, indoor active games, clubs for young people, musical or ganizations, handicraft, and domestic science classes. The board of educa- tion furnished light, heat, and janitor
 service at half of these centers. Po- litical meetings and elections were held in hundreds of schoolhouse, as were great many moving picture exhibitions and illustrated lectures.
 Social centers are not for lectures only, but for clubs of every kind-in- tellectual and social. A rich man in
 Rochester asked MT. Ward one morn
 ing where a gang of hoodlumsc was that used to infest the street. His answer was that. they were now Club
 So- -and-So in such and such a school
 Many of the clubs are political. The clubs are ,non-partisan, but all-parti- san-that is to say, they include all parties. In campaign time they have speeches from every party and let ev- ery'man state his case They compel
 Republicans to listen to Democrats and Democrats to listen to Republi- cans. Prohibitionists and Socialists have their say. The idea is to have

Social center poli- ties drive out saloon politics.
 The social center must stand for the whole of a community. It must make the newest settler, the man of alien speech and habit, feel that he belongs there and is at home in the schoolhouse, because it is, in fact, his. It must be clubhouse for the adult as well as for the child, for the wom- an as we'll as for the man, and for the man as truly as for the woman. It must be for the family, as we'll as for the individual It must be. utterly democratic Those who start a social center must strive not to elevate a community, but to give it chance to grow.--The Voice.

FUEL OIL AGE OFFERS REMEDY

Pipe Oklahoma oil to Kansas City
and Dallas in common carriers, re
fine il and use the fuel oil in manu-
featuring plants instead OF coal. This
/ is the solution that is offered by eN-
perts to take care of the overpro-
Gucuon. and il is believed that it has
found favor with Commissioner Cato
Sells and that he will recommend
such a plan in his report on his in
vesueation OF the Oklahoma Oil
fields. \ fuel oil age is Just dawning
and if pipe lines become common
car. .cvs. in conjunction with the gov
ernmout control it appears that the
oil question is solved and the manu-
featuring center of the United States
may be drawn within striking dis
taucp of the Oklahoma oil fields.
The general outline OF the plan at
pres Mt contemplates not only the
building of common carrier lines, but
[ laso the erection of :GNlc"ies, ard the
carrying of oil from production other
than that which may be required by
the government. 1t is also planned,
in a general way, to make the great
cities OF the southwest the markets
for the surplus fuel oil, and when a
plan to bring this about has been
evolved. it Will mean that a number
OF cities. especially Kansas City and
Dallas. will realize the ambition oi
years by being placed ahead Of all
others in fuel facilities for manufac-
turing plants.
Two pipe lines, one to extend from
the northern Oklahoma fields to Kan
sas City, and one from the southern
fields to Dallas, as well as reiinerie-
and terminals at both points are con
templated under a plan which has
, been presented to the commission
: The surplus oil not required for 0se
DN Illt navy, Will bt AlltAA hN''' go
Kansas City and Dallas where mar
ket is assured. At the same time
cons ryation of gas will be effected
by the substitution of oil as fue
all through the portions Of the south
west which can be reached by tn,
lines. thus making the eu.irn prcduc
tion of gas available for domestic use
According to statements made
while the Sells party was in Dalla'
Saturday the plan is one of the mos
gigantic as well as revolutionary con
: coptons in the history of the oil in
dustry. 1t will mean that fuel oil
heretofore neglected because of laci
!. of proper facilities for handling, vii
sUpplant coal as factory fuel in th'
big cities within reach.
An eightinch pipe line, with pumI
stations every thirty miles of its 22'
nile length, can be built from n
northern Oklahoma fields to Kansa
City at cost of $5,250,OOO This il
cludes the necessary refneries, or
