LOCAL COOPERATION.

We all of US admit the power of CO.
operation. 1.-TWO heads are better than
one" and granting this we must con-
concede that three heads are better
than two and four are better thar
three. Each man separately stands
for his own individual force; but if a
number of men join together for some
object, their power in the community
increases as each man joins, much
more rapidly than his personal force
would warrant.
Notwithstanding our knowledge %
this fact, it is often hard to secure CO.
operation in local affairs. True CO.
operation means giving up ones pref
erences, subordinating ones personal
ity, considering the public good as bet.
ter than ones own. The man who for
gets himself is the most successful in
working with other people.
Every man naturally wants the
best for his home town or village, but
the community that achieves the best
is the one where the citizens work I'M
selfshly together. In other words,
when we refer to the public spirit Of
a community, we simply mean its ca
pacity for smooth-running coopera-
tion.

rHE WAR AS a MELTING PoT.

The WAX AS A MELTING POT.
We hear much these days Of the
melting pot as applied to the American
ization of our foreign immigrants.
While the need has been great that
this foreign element be fused with the
national life as quickly as possible,
there is yet another phase of Amer;
can life wherein the melting pot can
render great service, and that melting
pot viii be developed in the war up-
on which We have entered.
Until recent years America has been
distressingly provincial. Not provin-
cial as whole, but provincial by sec
tons. The down easter looked with
suspicion upon anything having its or
igin outside old New England. The
Southerner viewed all parts of the
country save the west as alien terri
tory, and only had tolerance for that
section because it was made up large
ly of his kinsmen. The citizen of the
middle west has always been convine-
ed that creation ceased with the COM
pletion of his territory, and so it ran.
The thoughts and customs of the We
1ious sections were antagonistic and
it was only grudgingly that either
could be brought to admit that there
might be anything of merit come out
of the other.
All this the war will change. We
will no longer be nation of many
elements all antagonistic and all out of |
sympathy. We will no longer waste
our energies in bcrating and belittling
our neighbors because, forsooth, they
may not view all of life with our eyes
In France there are today young
men from every part of this country
lighting side by side, sharing the same
dangers and the same death. As the
war progresses their numbers are in
,reasing. Each is learning from the
,thers, and each is unconsciously learn
ne to see life from the others view
,oint. AS the association progresses,
many common views will gradually
,e developed, and where antagonist
Exists, close and intimate contact will
but surely bring each in ) |
with the other.
When this war is ended and our boys
ome home, it will not be a crowd Of
'rovincials we shall welcome, but en-
army of cosmopolitans-world citi-
ems, we may say. These men will
ave probed to the bottom the charac q
er Of their fellows and learned all
here was to know Of them. And in
hat knowledge they will each have
ound much Of value when fully UNI
erstood, and will have learned to APP
reciate to the full the good points Of
Ii.
The war will complete what our
reat industrial development had be-
unit will make of us at last one
ompact nation, all Americans togeth-
r, all with a common interest, COM
ION love and a common destiny.
