WHAT Coos Hay needs most Is a Socrates who by syste matic questioning will sot ime people to thinking, atlng con- u.ousnesB and consclonco Into nc altin nnd persuade them to ndopt aictr business ways. It Is not tho CBorals of Marshflcld pooplo that rtwd nwakonlng, for their morals sim miual to those of tho poople of siay lty, but tho prosporlty nnd aJnimnont dovolopment of tho wrunununlty aro threatened by Bolt Bnterost nnd lack of homo prldo. So n Socrates is needed, not to r About as tho first great Creole IId. poor and shabby and bnrofoot, stopping indiscriminately in tho wtniw?tB nnd public places to expound te ivisdom, but a Socrates up-to-dato n mnn who can talk tho sub let or Community Dovolopmont and 'twit his thoughtB In n masterful v7y ns Socrates did. Community Dovolopment Is tho ynont Important work for Coos liny 'SiVrtx. and an exponent of tho sub ject, Is" 'needed ono who can nrouso -sfco fcnslnc-as men to action In bo tsnring cn-oporatlon and harmony In wll public urfnlrs In murh tho snino xnniinur ns tho avnngollut arouses 'rbo churchcH to nttack moral -wmng. Thoro should bo an nwak cnlng nmong tho business mon nnd Socrates Is needed to bring It a&out. Slio knows tho real from tho fnlRc, nnd slio knows It Is novor tho mntorlal pleasures that bring hnpplncss. Pleasure, tem porary, fleeting pleasure, yes, but happiness, doop, abiding happiness, no." This Is a protty good doctrine and Mrs. Shlck Is fortunnto In her philosophy. Novortholcss tho wo man who docs not hnvo to do tho washing and Ironing should not des pair of achtovlng happiness, Tho troublo with generalizing about hnpplncss Is that It enn't bo generalized. What Is happiness for ono Is no more happiness for another than whnt Is religion for another, or what Is a snttnro mcnl for ono Is n squnro mcnl for another. To sny that hoiiBowork brings happiness Is as far n field as to sny that housowork prevents It. Soma women like to wash and Iron, oth ers hnto It, Just as soma mon aro wild about office work and others would rather saw wood. Hut keeping busy Is n good rulo for contentment and probably If Mrs. Shlck should tnko to mnnnglng an orphan home or writing magn zlno articles while someone else wloldcd tho washing innchluo nnd tho flat Iron she would find her cup of hnpplncss ns full.
