. A GOOU MAX xevkb KXOCKS HIS HOMK TOWX. IlowburK Man Says a Public Park : a XerpNdty For Tlie itod of Children. Editor News: Abrnham Lincoln said " I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives." A man who is proud of the place in which he lives is generally a pretty good citizen and his pride is shown In many ways. You never hear the man who is proud of Roseburg knock It and .its institutions. Ho may admit that in aome respects that it can be bet . ter, but when he does have a com plaint to make, he makes It at home, and not in the presence of strang ers. The man who is proud of Rose burg believes in well lighted, well paved streets, and shows his belief by encouraging pavement, building good side walks and keeping in an attractive condition his lawn and street parkings. He ought to be in favor of public parks, public library and everything else that tends to bet ter the moral, educational and health conditions of the community. Some men flatter themselves that they are good citizens because they are eter nally fighting the liquor traffic in the community, but In some cases this seems to be the extent of "good" they are. Prevention, is better than cure . Public parks and playgrouds and manual training will do more for the young In providing them with healthful bodies and thoughts togeth er with a practical education end means of livelihood than all the propaganda against the liquor traf fic that can be assembled. The av erage "reformer" proposes as a rem edy for existing evils the tearing down and destruction of some insti tution that has been created by our social system, but as a rule offers nothing in its place. He will rejoice greatly when victory perches on the banner of the "anti" forces, but sel dom starts a movement for the crea tion of attractive places and com mon sense methods for the young men and women of the land, by , which they can hope for a reasonable amount of pleasure, and prepare themselves for life's battles. If "prevention is better than cure" why do not some of our well-to-do citizens here encourage the estab lishment of a public park a play ground (or a dozen of them), a pub lic library, a Y. M. C. A., and a few other constructive things, especially being In a favor of manual training and domestic science in the schools? Why not teach our children to be come competent and useful members of society, instead of giving them a smattering of education that is abso lutely ridiculous when measured against the needs of a life's work? Why condemn the young man or womtn Ifor fcoing .to questionable places of amusement when no other kind is offered What Roseburg needs at this time is some real re formers, men who will set aside the antiquated methods that have been followed along educational and some other lines for years, and establish a constructive period in Roseburg's history. Instead of devoting all our progresslveneBS toward paving streets let us broaden out a little, and In clude In the forward movement the things which are general In progres sive cities let us devote some time and thought and money to construc tive things Instead of waste so much in destructive attempts. At least let us do a part of , the duty we owe our children and have a few public play grounds, and manual training and domestic science in the schools. A. R. C.
