school to think OF things that were
not merely matters ofdomestic econ
omy, every paper they read stimu-
lated their interest in affairs that were
larger than the affairs OF the hearth.
They knew that they had capacity for
work that they had never tried and
interest in things that were regarded
as foreign to their lives.
In attitude, therefore, they were
prepared for the great call that came
to them with the opening OF war and
quickly responded The war was
their opportunity to prove themselves.
to acquire merit, to step into new
fields where they could feel that they
were doing something for mankind.
They organized women's councils OF

needs and the spiritual calls OF the

thrift among children and grown-ups.

for the gathering OF waste material,
for the stimulation of patriotic inl-

triotism. 1t was in no little part the
result OF their rising desire
to be OF use in a great enterprise; TO
have part in noble and large adven-
ture. They wished the thrill that
comes to those who are conscious
that they are doing something worth

being identified with and part OF

And this spirit. this impulse must
not be allowed TO die. 1t is an asset

THE GLORY OF
BEING USEFUL
By the Honorable Franklin X. Lane, SeCre-
tary of the Interior

out by the war, the community of
feeling and interest, the intense ap-
probation OF the value of our country
to ourselves and to the world, the ha-
tired OF cruelty, the love for the square
deal, the respect for order as the
foundation OF growing liberty, the
living sense of the essential same
ness and value of. every man?
These are generalizations, but they
point to definite things that should be
done.
The Community Center has been
born during the war Its opportuni-
ties for usefulness are many. 1t can
can teach Americanism; it must by
roads, fundamental to an intimate
social, economic and political life. 1t
can see that all speak with us the
English language, and through it.
come out of their isolation and into
American relationships 1t can reduce
the cost OF living by introducing CO.
operative buying. 1t can be the
means of securing better prices for
products through finding markets
where the need is greatest, by CO.
operative wisely-guided selling sys-
tenn. 1t can see that the heroes of our
war, the veterans of 1918, are not for
gotten and that they. get positions. 1t
can foster the movement to give
farms to returned soldiers and other
policies which will retard the tenden-
cies toward tenarscy and away from
the rural communities.
These are but suggestive OF the
many good things which such commu-
nitv cen;ers would do. In word,
| the women can create here new Kind
| of life. new nucleus of development
and maintenance of a quicker, more
] hopeful. helpful, happier America.
| It is the small things that make the
things possible. 1t was by the saw
ing OF a few grains of flour each day
that Belgium England, and France
were kept alive by us, The national
government is a SMELL, an unauthorita-
tive front without the backing OF the
opinion. the physical and moral
strength which come from the home
where women inspire and set stand
ards. During the war the womcn
have seen this as never before; they
have been able to visualize the value
OF the many little things they do
toward THE making OF H stronger
America. The saving OF a sheet OF
paper had its national, its Internal
ional and its humanitarian import
ance. Government, after all, is no
more than housekeeping on a grand
scale. The commander Of dread
naught Is a uniformed and titled
housekeeper Pershing himself serv-
ed his nation by the feeding, nursing
and inspiring of his men.
If we can see the problems OF peace
as we have those of war, this nation
will be model for the world. And
TO see them and do them the women
| should remain organized.
