The Community, Institute

.4ha Community Institute is now ocm-
monty reeognlzde as a powerful factor
il the development of community In
many places, as tile result of a Com
ntunity Institute, farmers have adopted
more progressive and profitable methods
Of farming, business men have learned
how to increase their sales and cut down
expenses, and women have received sug-
gestions that have meant both profit
and satisfaction to them IF we can
judge from the experiences of other
localities, it is indeed true that, THE
Community Institute is the Key that
Ufilocks Community Development.
We believe that what other localities
have done, ours can do. In conjunction
with the Extension Division of The Uni
versity of Wisconsin, the organization
that is sending you this letter is bearing
the expense of securing the best avail
able talent in Wisconsin to speak at the
various sessions. There will be special
sessions for farmers, bushes men. wo-
men, and children, and general sessions
for all Topics OF vital Importance
will be discussed at each oE these SEES
sions. Delightful entertaining feat
ures, also, will be presented throughout
the Institute Please remember that
there will be no admission charged to
any of the meetings,
The only thing now needed to make
this Institute of great profit to our
community is large attendance. We
know that every person who comes
will DE far more than repaid for the time
and effort expended. Understand,
please, that this is big and important
event. It is not held for the benefit of
any one class, but for the benefit of
all. We are trying to apply the newly
recognized principl, that the welfare
Of all means the development of the
community, and the development of the
community means increased happiness,
health, and prosperity for us all. For
this reason, all persons in and about
our town should feel and say, The
Community Institute is our Institute,
and it is our duty to attend it and boost
it."
All of us are inclined to be somewhat
slow in grasping the significance of
new movement. But, this effort to
build up our own community is so big
and so important that we want you to
get the full benefit of all the advan-
tages offered. Please come and bring
your family to the sessions Of the first
afternoon, and we know that you will
attend the following ones. Also, talk
over the Institute with your friends and
urge them to come.
Yours very sincerely,
The Kenosha Chamber of Commerce.
