THE SOCIAL CENTER IDEA"

There are fewer opportunities
for the people in the country to get
together and have general good
time than there used 20 be. There
used to be the husking bees, barn
raisings. threshing days, and even
the log rollings. There used 10 be
the apple cuttings, the bean string
ings. the molasses "Stir on" the
spelling bees. and the old time
"literaries" with their heated de-
bates In nearly all communities
these have been entirely abandon
ed. Nothing has taken their places.
Many Of the rural churches have
been abandoned the ministers hav-
ing either starved out or left the
country.
What are the results Of all this
change? The people in the country
are without amusement, recreation.
or social enjoyment. They do not
even visit one another as they did
formerly. This situation makes
living in the country dull. unevent-
full. and uninteresting. As a final
result many Of our most energetic
boys and girls. before they have
scarcely arrived at their teens,
leave the country and go 20 the
cities where they congregate on the
streets. at the movies" at the
dance hall, at the pool rooms,
gambling dens, and evil resorts

He must have companions and

as the country fails 10 provide some

cities in large numbers.

"TIIE NEWSPAPERS ARE PREACH.
ING BETTER THAN THE
PREACHERS"

Newspapers received an unusual and
marked tribute the other day when the
Rev. Dr. Charles A. Eaton, pastor of
one Of the largest churches in New
York city, and one Of the foremost
clereymen in the country. resigned his
charge in order 10 carry on his chosen
work, not in another pulpit, however.
but through the press.
Il is Dr. Eaton's belief. shared by
many othersthat public opinion in this
country must be awakened to its re-
sponsibilities in the readjustment
which IS bound to follow the great
war. DR. Eaton will preach this sub
iect. but not from the pulpit. The
newspaper will carry his message TO
tho world in future. In relinquishing
his post the eminent clergyman said:
at present the newspapers are
preaching better than the preachers,
and II Is through the press that I hope
to work. In common with the rest of
the world. America Is entering upon o
now age, and 1 feel it my duty to hep
in forming public opinion and in in
terpreting the vast and complicated
problems which confront us"
The foregoing is but another proof
of the growing influence and power for
the spiritual as well as the material
good of the community exerted by the
newspaper today. II is not so many
years ago that any close connection be
tween the clergy and the press was
sufficient cause for a considerable rails
ing of eyebrows among the reverend
gentlemen and their followers. Time
and experience and. it must be admit
ted. a higher standard among newspa
pers have changed this attitude.
The press and the clergy are today
working hand in hand, as they should
work. and preaching religious as wei,
as civic righteousness through news
papers IS an accepted fact, for. while
the pulpit addresses itself to hundreds,
the newspapers speak TO thousands.

found that when they started TO work
they could scarcely read the proof
sheets, much less correct the printed
copy. Instead of resigning for cause.
as they should. others were appointed
and the disqualified remain on the pay
roll. This is not in the interest of
economy or efficiency.

A GOOD ROAD FROM WASHINGTON
AND BALTIMORE TO
ANNAPOLIS.
(From the Washington start


Maryland has advanced remarkably
in the matter of good roads during the
past few years, and has today a system
of perfect highways that are at once
the pride OF the State and a source of
large revenue in the invitation to tray
el. There, however. is an important
link IN the system missing. and a bin
is now pending in the Annapolis legis-
lature to supply this deficiency.
At present it is impossible to go by
road from Washington to Annapolis
with any degree of certainty of arriv-
ing. From the Washington Baltimore
road. which is one of the best in the
State. there is no good highway to the
State Capital, and motorists who wish
10 make the trip from Washington to
the hisoric city on the Severn and the
seat of the Naval Academy, are fore
ed to take their chances with old-fash-
ioned country roads that. in bad wealth
er, are virtually impossible.
The good road projected from the
Washington-B Baltimore highway to An
napolis is designed as measure of ma
tional preparedness. Obviously Annap-
oils would. in time of menace from q
foreign foe. become an important OBJ
jective and a good road between Wash
ington and that point would be highly
desirable,in fact,practicalIy necessary
Thus there is a specific reason for this
proposed legislation which appeals to
people Of all parts of the country, and
it is hoped that the Maryland legisla-
ture will promptly respond to the re-
quisition for an appropriation to build
the stretch of about twenty miles that
will connect Annapolis with the good
roads system of the State.
Apart from the question of possible
national use in the event of war there
is abundant reason why Annapolis
should be brought into easy road COM
munication with other parts of the
State 1t is one of the most interest
ing points in Maryland, and a good
road connection would cause it to be
visited by great numbers of people
who now never think of going there
because of the lack of means of motor
access. This legislation is definitely
in line with Maryland's wise and lib
eral policy of highway construction
