''One of the best methods for

Legislature paved the way for making
the schools the centers OF community

ing school boards the right to throw
open school buildings for such pur-
poses. r hope the next legislature
will provide means for financing to a
certain extent this social center work
This matter is now OF double i'm

have decided that there shall be pro-
after January 2, 1916. On
this date all saloons In the state will
be closed. Many men will have NO
place to 60 except out on the street. \
rhe schools should take the place Of
