THE FUTURE COUNTRY TOWN

Country life has seen great pro-
gress during the past 90 years. And
more changes are to come. The
country town of 1923 will be quite
different thing from what it is in
1923. 1t is interesting to look ahead
and try to forecast the lines along
which our towns and villages will de-
velop.
Improved rural education and
movements to interest young people
in country life, are maldng great
changes. The young crowd are COM
ing along with different point of
view from what their fathers and
mothers had at their age. They cher
ish more ambitious hopes than their
fathers and mothers had. Young
folks who are working with the gar
den clubs, the pig clubs. the calf
clubs, the canning and preserving
competitions, ETC., are enjoying an
experience that must greatly affect
their plans and ideals and thus modify
the environment in which they live.
When these young folks take the
reins. they are going to do things
quite differently from what their
parents did.
There is no use in waiting until
the present generation is dead before
realizing the gains of modern pro-
gress. We might just as we'll have
them right now.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1923-01-04
SCHOOL AND REAL LIFE

In former years children used to
drop out of rural schools at an early
age. Their lessons seemed to have
little to do with real life. They were
studying abstract arithmetic, or they
learned about the rivers of China.
But there was little to show them
how to run farm, store or a bank.
They got it into their heads. that
schoo, work was not practical. They
refused to take interest in it, and
their parents would take them out
and put them to work.
In so far as the country schools are
giving instruction in subjects that
show their pupils how to make sue
cess of rural life, they keep the child
ren interested in school work so that
they will develop ability and intelli-
gence and fit themselves better for
their life work.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1923-01-04
WATCHING THE BOYS

Boys in the growing up period Of
ten have the feeling that the older
folks do not notice them much, un-
less indeed they break loose in some
way and make themselves conspicuous
through bad conduct. The good boy
often thinks that the men of his
town pass HIM by with little thought
and scarcely seem to realize his exist
cnce. Such youngsters fail to realize
how these older men are watching the
boys to see which will prove worthiest
of confidence and responsibility.
A writer in the Extension Cooper
ator of Little Rock, Arkansas, en-
phasizes this idea with respect to the
I club boys, and he tries TO make them
realize that their efforts to raise
corn, pigs, cotton, and calves are at
tracing the careful attention of the
community.
He tells these youngsters that those
who "hoe to the end OF their row."
those VINO keep up their records care
fully, those who finish their tasks,
those who follow out the suggestions
of their county agent and club leader,
| will benefit in after life, from their
tiuelity. Those that did their work
we'll back on the farm as boys will
find that this achievement forms a
record and creates reputation for
| them.
The boys that accomplish some-
thing in club work or other efforts
make openings for themselves. The
older men will help such a young fel-
low get ahead. If he has done well
and shown that he is dependable at
his fathers farm or store the older
men will help such fellow by lend
ing him money when he gets ready to
branch out for himself. Such a young
man stands a chance Of getting a
good business chance in his own
neighborhood.
A great many doors of opportunity
open before the boy who has done
good and faithful work and has shown
some initiative and enterprise Of his
own. There are plenty of chances in
Sedgwick county and Julesburg for
fellows of that type and they do not
have to go farther to find them.

SURPRISE PARTIES

One of the most common social
events in many country localities is
the surprise party. If family has
had difficulties, the nenighbors are
apt to get together some night with
gifts of substantial character that
will help them by their hard rub. Or
ii some one has done exceptionally
good work in the community. if such
a one has sung in the choir or organ
lied Sunday school classes, or carried
the bruden in local society, the
neighbors are apt to get together and
offer some valuable gift in token of
appreciation.
Such occasions reveal the fine
neighborly spirit that exists in mod
ern country towns. They bind peo-
pie closer together and cultivate
friendship and cooperation.
The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1923-01-04
ENCOURAGING FARM AND
HOME OWN NERSHlP

It is of vital interest to any rural
community to have people come in
and settle down permanently. Special
efforts should be made to welcome
those who buy farms or homes or
hope to do so. They are likely to do
SO much more for q community than
those that rent temporarily with the
purpose OF moving on somewhere
else.
Every new resident should be
we.comed. Perhaps if he only in
