COMM UNITY IDEA
MADE IN SCHOOL

Wash1ngtcn's notable exemplifica-
ton of the community center idea
tie community forum OF the Park View
school--reeently took another step In
advance by holding q community
Thanksgiving celebration In imitation
of the original community Thanksgiy-
ing in New England three hundred
years ago. Miss Margaret Wilson,
daughter OF the president, and DR.. p.
P. Claxton. United States commissioner
OF education, took part in the pro-
gram. One OF the Washington churches
gave up its separate Thanksgiving
meeting in order that there might be
no occasion for division among the
people of the community in the OBJ
servance Of Thanksgiving.
In his address on the public school
community center as the agency Of
democracy" DR.. Claxton presented the
opportunity which America has in the
public school system not only for de-
veloping a better spirit of co-opera-
ton and understanding among all citi-
zens Of America as they are coming to
make full use of this neighborhood
! equipment, but also the opportunity af-
forded for generating broader SYM
pathy and understanding among those
who represent by descent all the ma
tons Of the world.
Resolutions adopted by the Park
View Citizens association providing for
this Thanksgiving service pointed out
that Thanksgiving in it's first observ-
ance in New England was an occas-
ion not Of division and separation but
OF community gathering" that the first
Thanksgiving proclamation of an
American president, that by Washin-
ton, was a call ito all persons whom

HOG AND H0MINY.

The extension department of the
State College of Agriculture is doubl-
ing their efforts against the boil wee
vii, and the latest announcement is
the beginning of their campaign in
JANUARY sweeping fight through the
boil weevil country. This news is in

sounds political. But the real impetus
TO the battle-cry comes by vertical
