Pleasures That Benefit

form our obligations as our brothers
keeper, how strengthen the weak,
care for the hopelessly dependent, in
spire the delinquent and restore to
usefulness in society the Os-styled
criminal?
These are questions of utmost i'm
portance and Chaplain Kiplinger's
lectures contain many suggestions for
successfully answering these ques-
tions.
The Maurer Sisters are favorites
with the Wauseon people; they cap
tured them last year when they ap-
peared on the High School Lecture
Course, on Friday afternoon and
evening they fairly carried their au-
diences away in transport of de-
light. 1t is difficult to describe their
entertainment, one can only say that
both the music and the musicians are
charming and carry within himself
the pleasant memories of their per-
formance, hoping that some good for
tune may bring another opportunity
to hear and see them.
Everett Kemp's Interpretation of
Harold Bell Wright's book "That
Printer of Udell's" was fine and
brought home to the people who heard
it the absurdness and uselesness of
the falacies and foibles of the
churches which that book exposed; /;
fallacies and foibles which are fast
disappearing before the spirit of
brotherliness and mutual helpfulness
which pervades the churches of the
present.
Frank Dixon's lecture Friday even
ing taking Stock of Town" might
we'll be an epoch marking event in
the history of this town-if one half
of the suggestions he made in the
course of his lecture were actually ap-
piled in the conduct of the town.
Mr.. Dixon's lecture was searching
and at times scathing it cut like a sur
geon's scalpel, he advanced ideas that
undoubtedly were at variance with the
ideas held by vast majority of his
audience but there are ten chances to
one that the lecturers ideas which
are based upon the results of search
ing Investigations, are more nearly
right than are those who disagree
with him.
This lecture was the logical COM
pliment of DIR. Colledge's lecture on
Thursday night. DR.. Colledge .ap-
pealed to the individual as RESPONSE
BILE for his personal shccess or fall
ure and his status among his
fellowmen. Mr.. Dixon appealed to
the individual as responsible for the
condition of his community and the
welfare of hs fellow citizens.
The four points of the lecture were
The Beauty of the town, The Health
of the town, Education and Govern
ment. First get acquainted with
your town and the best way to do
this is to have a capable outsider
make an unbiased survey of conditions
as they are. Plan your town for
years to come as great business cor
porations plan their business. What
was said about dirty food supplies,
impure milk, flies, the average health
officer and a few other matters along
the same line was food for thought
for the thoughtful for some time to
come and out of it ought to come some
practical ideas that might be applied
locally. The plan for military train
ing and discipline of High School boys
as carried out in the state of Wyoming
seemed to us sensible, wise and feas-
ible. The one most practical sug-
gestion made by this lecturer, to ouI
minds, was that Community Wei

people of the community be organ.

by the women of the Civic Club anc
the men of the Boosters Club in Wau'
seon is to our minds an indication OF
the larger work which might be ac'
complished by an association includ
ing all the people and representing al
the interests of the town, working
together for the common interests anc
the progress of the community.
