Camp Meeting Economics.


The camp meeting has been an
effective agency in the Methodist
Church. The work Of this church

Camp meeting economics. on the
other hand, has never turned q wheel.
The camp meeting Of the church is
a natural place for sentiment, for
zeal and for exhorting. But senti-
ment and zeal and exhorting cannot
create over night a. sound demand
for goods when NO such demand ex-
lists. And without sound demand
for goods Il would be an economic
crime for manufacturers all over the
country to plunge hysterically into
production in response to the Wash
ington conference.
The causes leading to our present
business stagnation following the
war with it's attendant imitation are
many. In the main they have been
eliminated. Our banking situation 10

strained to the breaking point.

wage scale that makes for high rents,
for high prices Of goods, for high
railroad fares, high railroad freights.

be sailed, only two entries have bean
made for that event: the Gloucester
schooner Elsie and the Boston May.
flower. The Gloucester committee re-
ceived the entry of the Mayfower on
September "a, her owners going
through this form in spite Of the
fact that the Halifax trustees OF the
trophy had debafred the Boston
boat owing to her extreme type.
That the Halifax donors and <rus-
tees of the international fisherfhen's
race trophy meant this race to be
confined solely to fishing schooners
Of a sound and seaworthy type has
been evident from the inception Of
the plan. They showed this in their
refusal to accept the Mayfiower as q
genuine fisherman. az II
! There Is every reason to believe the
Halifax trustees will not recede from
their position In the matter. The In.
ternational fishermen's race will not
degenerate into the. condition recently
attending the Americas Cup races.
The practical ship for fishermen will
not be converted into q yachtlike

BOYS SCHOOL At AGENCY GROUNDS DISCUSSED
BY REV. SECOR; INSTITUTION WOULD CARE FOR
5OO0R 1000 BOYS FROM OVER THE NORTHWEST

Saliant Sfacts as to the proposed
boys school to be established at the
Indian agency grounds by the Metho-
dist church organization of the north
west were discussed before the Pro-
gressive Business Club at the weekly
luncheon today by Rev. John II.
SeCor, local Methodist pastor.
The speaker recited that the idea
of boys school, has been before the
Methodists of the northwest area for
some years and that sentiment is
strong for such an institution. The
plan is for scnool for boys up to
the high school age and vocational
training will be featured. In no
sense will the school be a reform
school however, it is believed that
the present equipment at the agency
will provide for a school for l50
boys at once and it is believed the
attendance will grow rapidly until
500 or 1000 boys can be accommo-
dated.
Apparently the Indian bureau is
favorable to sale or lease of the pro-
perty and the road seems clear for
the establishment of the school. How
ever no formal action has yet been
taken by the church and it will uc
necessary for the church officials to
conclude the matter through regular
| channels. The northwest area IN
cludes Oregon, Washington, Alaska
and northern Idaho.
| At the luncheon today a special
( guest was Stanley Jewett, of the L.
S. biological survey. New members
present today were w. j. Clarke and
ID. j. Phelps.
