THE RURAL COMMUNITY
CENTER

A number of agencies have neen
responsible for the origin, growth
and development of the rural COM
munity center. Perhaps the most OBJ
obvious is the automobile, because it
has enabled farm peaple to gather
together much more easily than they
could in the old days. It's a matter
of veyr short run from corner to
corner of the average township, and
it's easy to get to evening meetings
of one kind and another. The state
agricultural colleges have done much
to advance this work, too, by arrang-
ing programs TO revening meetings,
furnishing speakers and giving all the
assistance in their power.
One other thing has been partic-
ularly helpful in this respect and that
has been the farm electric light aud
power plant introduced within the
last few years Many rural school
house that formerly held its evening
meetings with the aid of dim and
smoky oil lamps or held no meetings
at all, now shows blaze of bright,
cheerful electric light from every

window on one or more evenings of
each week. In the first place electric
light makes good cheer, as compared
with the old methods. 1t is an easy
thing, too, to arrange the electric
liohts just where they will do the
most good.
But perhaps the greatest advant-
age of electricity for the rural com
munity-schoolhouse lies in the fact
that it makes possible the use of
stereopticon and motion pictures
For real entertainment and for edu-
cational work there are few things
as good as the motion picture. #

Its aid one can travel to the four

educational value is tremendous. a
good film showing the latest and hest
way OF carrying on various kinds Of
agricultural work can make cIeqr in

With all these agencies WORKING in
