THE SCHOOL is OUR
SOCIAL CENTER
Where Young and Old
Spend Many Happy
Hours.
(From the Farmer Of 81. PAUL.
Spirit of Helpfulness

Our little old-fashioned coun-
try school certainly is social
center. There the community
holds meetings of all kinds. help
ing to foster the feelings Of true
neighborliness by bringing the
people into closer contact. MAX
ing of all one big family. striving
to make the country a better and
a finer place for us and our chill
dren.
First of course, there is the
school with the teacher working
with our children, not only teach
ing them the three RS but also
better and more healthful habits
and to be better citizens. Every
parent should cooperate with
the teacher in this important
work by visiting the school anC
taking an active interest in it.
Then there we hold our Sunday
school and church every Sunday
afternoon. We little realize how
much good these do. II is a small
community, but there are many
men and women now living in
other states and Canada who at
tended here when children and
who will never forget those
teachings.
There the Farm Bureau unit
meets semi-monthly with its edu-
cational and thoroughly enjoy
able programs, followed by the
best of refreshments. There also
the Ladies' Aid and the Women's
Foreign Missionary Society have
their socials and suppers with in
teresting programs thrown in for
good measure. There the boys
and girls club meets once a
month and discusses how to raise
better calves and pigs and bake
better bread, and no doubt startle
the uninitiated passer-by with
their class yell.
And last, but not least, If some
one in the community has had
some misfortune, someone will al
ways quickly get up a program
and spread the word around and,
presto. the cars. wagons, buggies
and truck or two will all come
