Of the communistic experiments,
were the first Of their kind in Amer
lea. 1t was in the schools at New
Harmany that the theory of equal
educational privileges for the sexes
was first put into practice.
1T was in certain of the New
Harmony communities that women
were first given voice and vote in
local legislative assemblages. and
there the doctrine of equal political
rights for all, without regard to sex
or color, was first proclaimed by
Frances Wright. Through this bril-
liant woman. too, New Harmony be-
came one Of the earliest centers Of
the abolition movement and spoke
forcibly through Robert Dale Owen
to President Lincoln when emanci-
patton hung In the balance Through
Robert Dale Owen, New Harmony
impressed upon American law the
modern conception of the legal
rights Of women.
In New Harmony was founded,
by Frances Wright, what is known
as the first woman's literary club in
the United States.
New Harmony In 1926 afforded

decades. She also has dedicated

Her greatest ambition, in fact her

ton in the present-day life of New
Harmony, quiet village of slightly
more than 1000 persons. surrounded
by some Of the richest farming land
in the United States.
Oil companies from the East and
the West have invaded the area.
Drills are in operation in the north
ern part of the county, near New
Harmony and Poseyville, and in the
southern end along the banks of the
Ohio River. Several producer wells
already have been brought into the
southern Posey County field.
All New Harmony, businessmen,
farmers and the old residents who
conduct sight-seers and tourists
about town, are expected to share in
the benefits Of the oil industry if
nearby fields prove valuable.
Next to the restoration, the pos
sibility of an oil boom is paramount

law for State purchase of famous
landmarks, and plans are under
way to restore them as nearly as
possible to the original state enjoyed
in the days 0814-1824 of the Har-
monists and the Owen Community
which followed them.
Gov. M. Clifford Townsend Of In
diana supported the restoration
proposals, designed to bring the town
back to its old life, at least in ap-
pearance, and to prevent further
sale and demolition of its treasure
of old buildings. Mrs. Fred BALI,

other leading New Harmony citizens

One of the landmarks, Rappite

A broad view of New Harmony's
place in history, setting forth many
firsts" that give it a permanent
place In the history of the United
States, is set forth in The Harmony
Movement" by George B. Lock-
wood. published by D. Appleton &
Co. in 1905. Mr.. Lockwood wrote, in
part:
There the doctrine Of universal
elementary education at public ex-
pense, without regard to sex or Sect,
as a duty of the State. was first pro-
claimed in the Middle West, and
through the labors of Robert Dale
Owen, more than any other one
man, this conception of the States

cabins are fine examples Of rustic
architecture. With their dull, gray,
chestnut sides, stone chimneys and
split-rail fences around rocky fields,
they evidence the struggle Of noun

Just across Graves Mountain lies
Bear Trail Camp, where real boys
are given taste Of roughing 1t and
hiking in the great open air. The
older boys carry full equipment and
spend three or four days out Of
camp, hiking and sleeping in the
mountains.
For another side trip and a bit
of mountain climb, follow the Appa-
lachian trail to the top of Hawks
Bill, the highest summit in the
park. Starting at Big Meadows
Camp Grounds on Skyline Drive,
the clean, well-kept trail leads
through open fields resplendent
with innumerable flowers Of bril-
liant hues. Hosts of song birds dart

Of being molested, for no hunting

Seven falls comprise this series

Below the falls and down the old

Washington Irving has told
''how Gen. Washington stood on
that knoll, a little to the front of
his home, and through that forest
vista signal by flag to Warburton.
Then their little boats with liveried
men would pull out from the shores
Of the Potomac, to bear the invited
one to Mount Vernon or Warburton,
or to strike trade perchance of to-
bacco, corn, or wheat, for cattle or
sheep, or what not"
Nor is 1t probable that this inter-
course was interrupted to any extent
during the winter months, for we
have Tobias Lear's words, in 1893,
that "the river generally shut up
about Christmas and is open again
the latter part of February, or very
early in March. Sometimes there are
only short interruptions by ice
through the winter, and sometimes
1t happens that it is not closed so as
to prevent the navigation during the
winter. This" he says was the case
last winter"
