Creating Community Life
bourne beyond

Thomas Nixon Karver in the Kansas
lndustrialist: when a common or
universal passion for productive achieve
ment is once definitely aroused in a
community, the achievement will fol-
low as matter of course. Any COM
munity can have as beautiful country
side as it wants, provided it wants it
seriously enough, and with sufficient
unanimity, to spend the time and
energy necessary to beautify it. Any
community can have as moral COM
munity or as prosperous a community
as it wants, under the same conditions.
Conversely, the lack of common
desire or a common social interest
! means failure in the arts of
peace as surely as in those Of war.
1.-THE desire to make the village the
most beautiful village in the world, or
to make ones township the most beau
tiful township, or to make it the great
est corn or cotton or wheat or potato
growing township, or to make it's
schools the best in the world, or to
produce the finest cattle or horses or
hogs in the world-any really useful
purpose, in fact, if it will unite the
people and call out common and uni
versal enthusiasm-will do more to
dignity the social life of the village or
township than all the purposeless social
entertainments that could be invented
A social life is not created by merely
saying, Go to, now, let US be sociable 1t
is created by having common purpose,
worthy enough to commend itself to ali
right-minded people, and large enough
to demand their attention, their time,
and their hard work. The. young men
and women in particular, of our race,
have never yet failed to respond to
call to hard work and self-sacrifce.
