Rural Church Day

Acting upon the suggestion of church
leaders in this and other states who have
inaugurated a movement for country
churches, Governor Hatfield has issued a
special proclamation designating Sunday,
May 3rd, as Rural Church Day and urges
all who can to meet at their respective
churches on that day.
The movement has the hearty support
OF the committee composed OF leaders
and officials of the various religious
denominations of this state. A letter has
been issued by this committee to all minis
ters and Sunday school superintendent
asking that every church observe this day
with suitable service.
II is now recognized that the rural
church may take position OF leadership
in the development Of better agriculture,
better roads, better schools, better homes
and better citizenship in the community
which it serves by infusing the spirit OF
Christian service into this community
development. Only by thus arousing
religious motive can this movement be
placed on a secure foundation and per-
manent success be assured.
It's hoped that all of our country people
will consider how their church may help
the community and that they will enter
heartily into the spirit of the day.

THE PRESTON WAY

Some time ago the press OF the state
announced that the voters OF our neigh
boring county of Monongalia had agreed
upon a plan whereby the Progressives
and Republicans would unite, i'm the
coming election, and fight the Demo-
cratic party as unit. This was hailed
with glad acclaim and hearty good cheer
by the standpat element of the Republi-
can press and the privates in the ranks
who were still ulited to the standpstters.
1t was designated as "The Monongalia
Way" meaning the manner in which a
death grip could be retained on the offices.
Here in old Preston we have had a
striking example of what can be done
towards amalgamation. On Saturday the
Progressives OF the county met for the
purpose of recognizing their county COM
mittee. At least call was issued for
that purpose and it was a natural con-
clusion that a reorganization would be
made along Progressive lines. In the
opinion OF some this possibly was done.
but on the other hand there are those
who are curious enough TO want TO know
how the Hon. Samuel b. Montgomery,
who was, up until Saturdays meeting,
the chairman of the Republican county
committee, could be elected chairman OF
the Progressive executive committee for
this county, 1t may be the Preston way
superseding that of our neighbor Monon-
gala. BE that as it may. however, we
believe that those staunch Progressives-

Why Starve In the cty7

In the May American Magazine Mary
Antin, who IS writing an interesting series
OF articles on immigration, entitled
they Who Knock at Our Gates" makes
the following comment on the supply Of
labor.
The oversupply of labor is a myth of
ionistimagination that yanisbes
at one glance around the country, which
shows us crops spelling for want of hsr-
vesters and women running to the legisIa--
ture for permission to extend their legal
working day in the fields, such is the
scarcity OF men. II we insist on starving
IN the city when we might have plenty
an the country, We show less sense Than
the animals, who know enough to move
on when the pasturage becomes scaut;
and the foreigners are not to blame for
our folly

Right Training for Boys and Girls

Our public schools are maintained
primarily to serve the interests of the
greatest number. They demand that
subjects be taught which have direct
bearing upon the system and popular
education. The greatest problem before
the American people at the present time
is to readjust our educational system to
meet these new demands. The new
education or the education which will
fit young people for the duties of life Is
coming all too slowly. In the meantime
our best young blood is being drawn to
the city. We can expect little else when
we examine the work which is being
done in many OF our schools. The
average high school teaches topics, holds
up ideals which will necessarily leave
boys and girls to sigh for the city life.
Who is to blame for this condition. You
answer, those who make our courses of
study. No, it is only necessary for the
parents, taxpayers. aud those who have
the interests of our boys and girls at
heart to demand that an education that
is so old that it is musty, be supplanted
by one that fits for life.
The city movement can be most effec-
lively checked when we give the same at
tention to such subjects as agriculture,
manual training, domestic science, and
domestic art as we are giving to dead
languages and ancient history. Less
than so OF the boys and girls who enter
the public schools ever take college
course, yet our high school courses are
arranged to promote the interests OF this
small number and the $3.50 are sacrificed.
AT the present time teachers are being
engaged, courses of study arranged-let
us consider the boys and girls who will
never attend college.

Teacher Training Class which Is doing
good work. The teacher, Mrs. S. A..

church organizations have benefited from
her leadership. This thorough training,
combined with judicious tact, broad

every Friday evening at seven-thirty.
The textbook Is THE Sunday School
Teachers Bible" the first OF series OF
