8 OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, AUGUST 21 1903, THE GRANGE Conducted by J. w". D ARROW, Prat Corrupondent Neva Turk State Grange A UNIFORM PROGRAMME. CLACKAflAS COUNTY COURT. Business Transacted at Regular Au gust Term. The Secretary of Michigan State Grange Describe Thin Important Feature of Grange Work. Special Correspondence. Sears ago the studies of one grade In dty schools were made essentially uni form with studies of the same grade In all other schools. Later rural schools adopted a similar basis of working to gether. The Sunday schools caught the spirit of co-operation and the in ternational system of lessons was the result. Another outcome of the desire to advance In unison has been the borne reading courses, which owe a large share of their remarkable adop tion and success to the fact that they linked thousands all over the land to gether In a common effort toward men tal development. This impulse to co-operate mentally has now invaded the farmers' grange and club programmes. From the outset, thirty-five years ago, a "lecture hour" was an essential part of a grange meeting. This used to be occupied with addresses by the lecturer and others whom he Invited to take part, and in miscellaneous exercises of an entertaining and instructive character. Gradually the need of definite knowl edge of the opinion held by a majority of the farming people on Important measures touching national agricul tural life led the lecturer of the na tional grange to suggest quarterly a topic for discussion In all local granges. Then state granges realized that their power would be wonderfully augment ed if vital Issues In state affairs were thoroughly gone over in every subor dinate grange before the time came for definite and final action on the part of state granges. State topics were ac cordingly sent out for careful study and debate. This plan enables national and state granges to carry out the actually ex pressed wishes of their constituents. It secures also a far more impartial and complete consideration of the most practicable ways to help farmers than did the hit and miss mode of lecture work as formerly carried on by each local grange alone. In Michigan the plan of uniform topics for discussion in local grange has been further extended to embrace u textbook. A portion of one programme each month is given to a chapter of this book. Oi'ie year has thus already been spent upon n book on civics, another upon parliamentary practice, and this year a work upon practical ngriculturo is the basis of study. No grange is required to use these topics and textbooks selected by the na tional and state lecturers, but all are requested to do so, and probably a ma jority consider at least a part of them. Ample provision is made in the pro grammes for the inserting of local questions and exercises adapted to the needs of the community in which tho grange Is. The results of this effort to ward uniform programmes warrant its continuance. Thinking and talking to gether on the same subjects in thou sands of country neighborhoods load to conservative and forceful acting to gether when tho right time comes. Be sides, there is a stimulus to the indi vidual in the consciousness that thou sands of other people in similar situ ations as himself are thinking of the same subjects and striving to improvo themselves by tho same means he is.
