the most fun out of life lives the longest.
Having fun does more to relax nerve-sappinp
tensions than any therapy ever devised Most
stress diseases would never develop if people
balanced their lives with adequate recreation
and play"
Another leading authority summarizes SCI
entific findings on the subject in one simple
sentence: Fun is the best thing ever invent
ed to prolong life" A sharp distinction is
made, however, between fun and dissipation.
The latter shortens life, and is a vitality
sapping and morbid substitute for play - one
which provides no real pleasure or satisfaction.
Q: What do people hare the most fun
doing?
Il: To find out the answer to this question,
psychologists at the University of Wisconsin
made survey of a representative group of
men and women. Each person was asked to
write down the things he had done in the last
three weeks which had provided the most
pleasure and enjoyment Here are the things
that the majority of the people got the most
fun from:
]. Social contacts with other people -
visiting friends, having dates, meeting new
people. etc.
z. Achieving some wish, desire or ambition
J. Games, sports and amusements
4. Conversation. "gab-fests," exchanging
tidbits of gossip, etc
J. Dressing up, improving their personal
appearance and acquiring new articles of
apparel (mainly among women.
z: Do students sCIs0 hare the most fun
in college make the lOscest grades?
n: At Yale. psychologists found that stu
dents who had the most fun averaged the
highest grades and also scored higher ratings
on 10 tests.
q: Who has the most fun?
A: The University of Wisconsin made this
question the subject of an extensive survey.
Their findings showed that the majority of
people have the most fun before they get
married and in the first years of married life.

trails are to be found intensely in

adventure and romance, and beauti-
full scenic effects.

was to establish new colony for
their king, that of Spain, and to pro-
vide routes of travel to and from
that colony as they trudgcd the
weary miles of ocean beaches or
desert sands, through the dense
chaparral and the difficult stony
passes of the mountain ranges.
They did not realize they were serv-
ing as the highway engineers of a
state in the American republic, but
they were.
To the trails blazed by the padres
were added those of the fur traders,
those of the gold seekers, those of
the stage coaches and the emigrant
wagons, many of them following
those of the padres. Today all Of
these constitute the thousands of
miles of hard surfaced highways,

THE VISITOR to Boston wonders
1 at and comments on the narrow,
winding, crooked streets of the
business section of the city. The
natives, to whom he comments, tell
him those streets were the cow
paths blazed by the cattle of the
early pioneers, and the people of
Boston cherish them for that rea-
son.
Far to the west, on the shores
Of the Pacific, from San Diego
north to the Oregon border,
from the beaches of the ocean
eastward through the high Sier-
ras, the San BernardinO and
others of the several mountain
ranges, stretch the magnificent
California highways. They were
not blazed by wandering cattle,
but by devoted band of Span
ish padres in their efforts to
carry civilization and Christi
anity to the Indians.
To those weary, disheartened,
Spanish, and their following of ma
tive Indians, they were traversing

follows the same route when his car
glides over the concrete marked as
Highway 10l. That was the first of
many trails that were blazed. Along
it, starting at San Diego, and north
to Monterey, the padres, led by
Father Junipero Sierra, built mis-

often entails special difficulties in
providing financing of hous in G
tie h ers and transportation of
pupils, the rural school system has
been the slowest to develop.
A model of what the rural COM
munity can do to meet it's prob
lens is the Holcomb community in
Finney county in southwestern Kan
sas. For 80 years the community
has been building an exceptional
rural consolidated school,
The village of Holcomb is situated
eight miles west of Garden City,
the county seat. 1t has a population
OF 200. Transcontinental highway
so and the main line of the Santa
Fe railroad pass through it. The
consolidated school is the dominant
institution. There are an alfalfa
dehydration plant, post office,
and two filling stations, one of
which carries small stock of
groceries. There is no church, no
bank, no general store. For the
services of these institutions, the
people go to Garden City.
On January 6, 1920, three dis
tricts voted for consolidation of
school at Holcomb. On July %,
1921, another district petitioned to
be admitted to the union district.
At various times since 1921 addi-
tional districts have joined, the
latest additions occurred in 1916.
These additions brought to nine the
total number of districts to come
in and brought the area of the con-
solidated district to 21O square
miles.
During the past 80 years the Hol-
comb school has developed a full
curriculum, including instruction in
the elementary grades, from the
kindergarten up, and in the high
school full courses on every sub
Ject, including vocational agrcul-
ture and vocational homem aking.
By 1850 the school owned IL
buildings and 20 acres of land. The
buildings included the main school
structure, a grade school, a voca-
tional agriculture building, a
teacherage, bus garage, and seven
teachers cottages.
THE VISITOR to the Holcomb
community soon senses an at
titude of community pride in the
school and a marked popular solicit
fII1a for tho cohDn1'c
solicitude extends not only to ath-
letics and other extracurricular
activities but also to courses offered
and to the maintenance of good
academic standards. The visitor
gains the impression that the COM
munity, for all its enthusiasm for
athletics, would feel much less dis
turbed by disastrous" basket
ball season than by reduction of
the schools rating by the state de-
partment of education from Glass A
to Class B. The public created the
school and the public has stood
behind it.
The Holcomb community was one
of the first in the state to place a
program of rural school consolida-
ton into effect and it has proven
to be an experiment of note to the
entire country. In the schools 80
years, there have been tbs gradu-
ates of the eighth grade and 361
graduates of the high school.
Faced thirty years ago with con-
ditions that might well discourage
a rural community regarding school
facilities for its children, the people
of the Holcomb district, though
the exercise of courage, ingenuity,
enterprise, and group loyalty, have
met their situation successfully and
in a way that may well be an ex-
ample to many other rural COM
munities.
