PRESS COMMENT
Rural Development

Rev. William Shaw, one of the
strong men of the Methodist denomi-
nation in Vermont, in an address at
Montpelier said. -
THE rural population of New Eng
land is practically static. Lack of OPP
portunity for advancement in the
rural community sends the young peo-
pie to the city and the community life
thus impoverished deteriorates both in
tellectuauy and socially.
"Thc church is planning to meet
This situation by establishing adequate
ccntcrs of training and education for
The rural young people. Efficient
churches are to be established in the
scores of small towns where no
church services are held.
"Thc church will provide rural
workers for sparsely settled sections,
who will infusc new life and ideals
into the impovished life of the COM
nunity-+s
Morgan memorials are to be es-
tablished in several cities, which will
have public forums, schools of relig-
ious education, and recrcational facil-
tiles for the young people, to meet
the need in the congested districts
The truth of Rev. Mr.. Shaw's re-
marks is not questioned and the work
for the benefit of rural young people
is unquestionably needed. A few
days ago The Rcformer published the
plan of the National Security league
for improving the rural schools and
every few days public speakers are
prescribing remedies for rural con-
ditions. All this is good as it shows
desire Of all people to serve people
living in rural communities. But we
cannot help remembering that too
many cooks are just as dangerous for
the broth as .they.'were years ago. The
church should not attempt to reform
rural communities alone, nor should
the National Security league or any
of the organizations that are discus
sing the, matter. Rural communities
are not large enough to assimilate
such variety of tonics.
The churches, leagues, Oranges,
club promoters and others should get
together and formulate a joint pro-
gram fol developing rural life and
establish one strong unified agency
for each community large enough to
sustain the work. This will bring
better results than too many indepen-
dent agencies struggling so hard to
exist that they can be- of little sell
vice . to the communities so sparsely
settled they cannot advance by them
selves.-B rattlcb Reformer.

al feeding on "a huge scale through

The project is to be carried out
Jointly by the National Kitchens di-
vision Of the Ministry of Food and
the National Caterers Protection So
eicty. The three main points of the
scheme are:
Establishing buying organizations
for the collective purchase of food

An agreed system of inspection of
catering blishments to secure rea-
sonable prices and good conditions of

The caterers expected to take part

figure TO ensure reasonable profit
to thescateler and yet be easily with
in the limits of the average purse. A
high standard of efficiency and clean
illness will be, exacted.
The national restaurant recently es-
tablisiled in London has proved a
marked success. 1t is making q net
weekly profit of $500, and this is
pointed to sas proof that the provi.
sion of cheap, weil-cookcd food to
London's millions, served under
bright, cleanly conditions can. be
made financially profitable.

AT the lHstcvillage meeting the
matter of municipal building for
St. Johnsbdry was suggested and by
vote of the meeting o committee was
appointed tr look up a site, and APP
proxinate TIC cost of a building that
would house the various departments
of the municipality and their offices.
This committee is composed of men
that win give the matter serious at-
iention andtthcir report at some fu-
ture meeting will be awaited with
interest. |&~7 4f.
Thee proposal to have a municipal
building is not new one, but it be-
comes more necessary at this time
as the village cannot! keep its fire sta
ton ina the present location after
Feb. 25.a Ii wc, are to have anew fire
station good many people think it
would be atteisable to go. still farther
and get a Municipal, building IS
If there is any prospect of having
a municipal building I'VE 4 hope the
committee will recommend one with
an auditorium large enough to hold
our town and village. meetings. On
numerous occasions meetings have
been ileld in the Town Hall when. ii
was impossible for all to get a seat
and where the ventilation was most
undesirable. 4 st. Johnsbury is large
enough to hssTe.A public hall that will
contain all who may desire to fill it.
ST. JohnsbGfy also hopes to be con-
ventien city and Githtwo large hotels
it is we'll equipped to house all com,
ers. s But aside from the Armory
4 where there sarc few chairs there !;
no public hall in town that can ae'

plans for : Nunicipal building tho
crying need Of municipal hall should
not be overlooked.
