HENRY COUNTY FARM INSTITUTE
CLOSES; ONE OF BEST MEETINGS
ORGANIZATION HAS EVER HELD

| lily. Mr.. Crabtree spoke on Rural
RaiSers and Reactors." At the
early part of his talk he stated
that "a community is a miniature
world generally passive. It needs
some dynamic power to rouse it to
its activity in the betterment of its
community welfare" Among the
hindrances to all good movements
in lettering community conditions
he finds: /. The Indifferent per-
son. 2. The +knocker." 3. The
tight-wad. 4, The retired citizen,
who lives not in the present but in
the past 5. The nonresident citi
zen. s. The un-Americanized citi-
zen. Z. The low-brow promoter.
To meet these conditions Mr..
Crabtree finds two great institu-
tions in whose we'll guided activi-
ties will eventually overcome all
obstacles These are the church
and the public school In his opin-
ion the present day with it's decad-
ent country churches forbodes a
calamity unless some institution
assumes its place in community
activity. THE slogan of this age
is cooperation, not competition,
added Mr.. Crabtree. Therefore the
excessive number of churches in
some cities should follow "denomi-
national disarmament" and center
upon one strong helpful church |
rather than several which do not /
function as successfully in the ag-
grerate as one central organization |
Urges Consolidated System.
AS with the churches so also
with the too numerous one-room
country schools. The solution
rests in the consolidated school
system. With the establishment of
consolidated schools good roads al
ways follow. A better course of
study is provided; a better teach
ing corps is engaged; better equip I
ment is purchased; the opportunity /
for vocational training is offered
and better citizens are developed
with such an Institution the oppor-
unity of a community center is at
command. Here the spirit of CO.
operation will be born anew with
results which can only be of direct
benefit to the community and
every citizen in it."
The evening program was intro
iuced in another address by DR..
eva NJ. Wilson on Worth While ;
after which Mr.. Crab l
rec concluded the institute pro
sram addressing his audience on !
he subject of Social Center for :
feneseo." This address was given
n conjunction with the Federation
f Churches of Geneseo Both OF
hese talks were heard by an audi
nee which well filled the large au- I
itorium of the township high
