Filling His Place in the World


An interesting story, entitled Rob
in Hood and His Barn by Grace S.
Richmond appears in the November
Woman's Home Companion. In the
following extract taken from the
story Robin Hood the principal char
acter, shows that there is real work
to be done in the small as well as the
large community:
L am farmer he admitted, be
tween times for business. A mechanic
for necessity-and recreation. A sur
geon for love. Nothing more

bigger life-a man like your the Can

here to mend your car and your arm,
replied Robin Hood with composure,
though he flushed little. And there
happen to be other arms, and lives,
to mend up here
"'Of course there are agreed the
Candidate quickly. Doubtless you
find plenty to fill your time. But, in
big city the opportunities would
necessarily be larger
Before Robin Hood could answer,
a door behind him opened crack
and a quavering old voice called,
Robby, boy?'
"The young man sprang up. Yes,
Father he called back in the kindest
voice in the world and went into the
room behind, gently closing the door
The Candidate, by his whole life's
training quick of observation and in

To Plat and Beau
tify School Grounds

A movement that promises develop
ment and Improvement of the two
largest school Fairgrounds Of the city
has been begun by the school board.
It has employed Superintendent s. w,
Rubee, OF Riverside cemetery, to pre-
pare plans for the plotting and land
scaping of the Franklin school and
high school grounds.
The board has two objects in hav-
ing plans of these grounds made. IT
wants to improve and beautify them
and 1t wants to do it in accordance
with a comprehensive and adequate
plan rather than make a piece work,
hit and miss job of it.
The plan for each ground will pro-
vide for what handspring is to be
done, = will locate whatever trees or
shrubbery there will be planted or
whatever sidewalks, drives, or play
ground space is wanted. 1t is not the
intention of the board to do more, per-
haps, than make a start in carrying
out the plans. but it wants to have
the plans SO that whatever improve
ment is made on the grounds will be
work done toward completion of the
finished plan. The Franklin ground
is large and the board realizes that some
time it will be an important unit of
the school property for it is the plan
to develop 1t into an athletic field for
the graded schools.
