The Community Institute at Pine
Grove was especially interesting this
year. The principal speaker on Satur-
day morning was A. M. Cannon on
1.-The Schools and the Community"
Standing by the church pulpit, Mr..
Cannon prefaced his address with bit
of forceful pleasantly. 1t was his
opinion that if teachers talked from
pulpits more often their remarks would
be more guarded. Also if ministers
were seen in schools more often 1t
would be to the advantage Of them
selves and the students. He then
talked on the many ways in which
community may better itself by team
work. Cooperation in fighting pests.
in buying and in marketing were com
mended. Some very interesting sta
tistics were presented showing the
economical loss sustained by absence
of pupils from schools. Various indi-
vidual cities were cited but for the en-
tire country an average of rs per cent
of pupils are absent every day. The
average number of pupils absent from
the Hood River schools is 3d. The cost
Of this in dollars gave food for thought |
for both parents and pupils.

lay will come the political and com
nercial leaders of the future and our

rational affairs. The aid being given
hem today is gaining their confidence
n America.

eloped resources of China and called
ttention that China was lacking only
\ leaders to make her a most power

oncern ourselves in having these lead
RS Christian. He dwelt for a while
pom our trade relations with South

ically lost out with the South Amer
