MALESTER, July 3O.-The unique

here when J. +. Layden applied for

mayor of Hatrshorne, TO require the
mayor to sign n salary warrant of $50

Nelson was an appointe of John

to confirm an appointment made by
Mayor Walshe to place Il new mar in
Nelson's place and the mayor refused
to sign Nelson's salary warrant. His
defense to the mandamus action was

that to sign the salary warrant would

TO nave a community dinner once a
fortnight. We can seat eight COM
fortably in our small dining room, and
our bi-monthly dinner parties have
been greatly enjoyed.
Very few persons understand lust
what this community life at the coll
lege Is like. but it is quite as dis
tihctiVe a feature in the education OF
the college girl as il is a factor in Civ
ing us the chance to come here for
university training. None of us could
AFFORD to live at Whittier Hall or in
the higher class boarding houses on
the heights. so it means either giving
up college or %economizing. Most Of
us prefer the latter.
PERSONALLY I consider II. aside from
everything else. a valuable part of my
training. You get a better perspec-
tive on life in general and it Is par
ticularly valuable for me In the light
OF my prospective farm work. 1t Is
no less practical for the other girls,
for they are preparing for demonstra-
ton work in the rural regions, and
an important thing to be taught is
how to make the most out Of little.
There IL n great need for the right
sort OF education among young people
on the farm. They must be led to an
appreciation OF their W opportuni-
ties, OF what the rural life holds for
them, instead Of feeling that they are
missing the best of life because they
can't get to the city. The young
folks must have more recreation and
the women more help In making their
work easier. So there Is need for re-
adjustment all around, and that Is
what we hope to do-tO give them a
new outlook on life and a new view
point generally.

bearing on our future work. What We
spend and the way we spend ii means

line. a different problem presents
itself. In these cases three courses
are open. First, instruction is given
where the income is insufficient and
for some reason relief by the relief
bureau is not thought advisable. Sec

porary loss of employment: and
thirdly. instruction is given in raising
the standard OF a family where there
is intemperance.
The case OF one special family Illus

ny forming clubs and using the
X parcel post young women who
- are studying at Teachers Col
lege and other departments OF
Columbia University are able to re-
duce their living expenses. One CO.
operative group OF this kind is presided
over by Miss Hannah Kieffer.
Miss Kieffer, who at rs has had
more experience In the practical side
Of life than many a woman of so, is
here studying the principles Of rural
education so that she can help boys
and girls on farms. She worked her
way through normal school by cook
ing and doing Homework for five per-
ons in the family Of a college pro-
fessor. She was two years assistant
principal in a Pennsylvania high
school and for two years assistant
principal Of a rural school. 1t was
from the latter that she came to New
York to specialize in rural pedagogy.
She has long had practical experience
In supporting herself.
She mas three associates in the CO.
operative enterprise. The quartet are
enjoying the experience, and the girls
say they live on the fat OF the land.
From their appearance there Is no
reason to doubt 1t. for they are finish
ing their college year in prime phys
ical condition. There Is plenty OF
time for recreation. and one a fort
night they give a community dinner
and invite their friends to Join them.
The success OF the plan is due
to the parcel post. Miss Kieffer de-
clares.

factor in our living economically and
