RURAL SOCIAL CENTERS

We need social centers where our
young people can be entertained,
amused and instructed under the di.
rection of cultured. clean and com.
petent leadership where aesthetic
surroundings stir the love for the
beautiful. where art charges the ut.
mosphere with inspiration and power,
and innocent amusements instruct
and brighten their lives.
To hold our young people on the
farm we must make farm life more
attractive B well as the business OF
farming more remunerative. The
school house should be the social unit,
properly equipped for nourishing and
building character. 30 that the lives OF
our people can properly function
around IL and become supplied with
the necessary elements Of human
thought and activity.
