Spirit OF Community
Dr. Handy presented Captain Clu-
verius as the first speaker. To EN-
phasize the spirit Of community, Cap
tain Cluverius confined his talk largely
to comparison of two ships of the
Nayy-one the "home ship" and the
other styled the mad house" He said
there were two ships. sister ships, rid
ing at anchor in a roadstead, in the
appearance of which one could not find
difference. But on the 'home ship"
he said, everyone goes about his work
happily; there are always in one frame
of mind. He said it is not the Captain,
nor other officers, who makes this con-
dition so, but simply the spirit of good
feeling that prevails throughout the
complement of the ship. The other
vessel is called the mad house" be-
cause of the corresponding discord
that prevails on board So it is the
spirit of community that is on board
ships during war or while otherwise
engaged. Captain Cluverius said he
always believed in community move

longed to the Navy because it means
service. People have declared that

added, mo city is dead until it loses its
spirit; perhaps opportunity has never
been taken hold of with the proper
spirit to work and work industriously.

community should do now" he said in

foreign land, who visited the railway
station every morning and gathered up
passengers, and away over Che hills
and through woods he scampered tor
the little hamlet and distributed these
papers. 1T was because these folks
wanted to know something of the
world and its people, that the papers
were eagerly sought without men"
the speaker said, our lives are i'm
poverished." In conclusion, Dr. Bur
gan urged his audience to throw aside
all religious or other feeling in the
community movement and to continue
with even greater zest the lessons
learned during the war
