Thoniason, Department of Education, Washington. After spending two weexs in rum community meetings in Clarke oounty, Superintendent EliaabeHi Sterling and I have found, to our entire satisfaction, that there Is an actual craving In the hearts of the people for the life whloh it is proposed to bring them through the use or tne scnooiueuse aa a social can ter. Clarke county, encircling Vancou ver, from Ridgefleld, on the Columbia on the north, to Washougal, on the Co lumbia, on the east, la the home of a people representative in every way of the best rural populations of the north west, and living under condltiona rep resentative of those under whloh the avorage country people of the west live. Ho their desires and their needs along any Una, as expressed Dy tnemseivea, should be t)f espealal interest in this age Of universal study of country lire prou- lema While the vigor of their enthusi asms, the originality or their expres sion, and the keenness of their analysis of conditions are still fresh in my mind, I will set down some or the things they have said, and some of the things they have started out to accomplish. The machinery of the rural social cen ter, aa planned by State Superintendent Josephine Preston, is simple. An illus tration may be round tn tne one organ, laed at View. In the View unit are in cluded the Diamond 11111, Highland, Green. Mountain, Farghar Lake, Etna and Hall districts. Hoy Duggan, prin cipal at View, was appointed by County Superintendent Elizabeth Sterling as su pervising principal. He named an as sistant and a secretary from neighbor ing districts of hts unit In indorsing the social center, the meeting of cltlnena and teachers adopted a policy of holding at least one meeting each month during the athool year. The first will be a spelling bee on the first Friday after noon in December., A committee waa appointed to make, the necessary ar rangements. After the championship of the schools has been determined, the crowd or older zoias wiu cnoose eiaes ..SS1 bee suoh other annual meetings will be held each month as a aeoiamatory con test raoid calculation contest a lecture, an athletic meet and plcnlo, and an agri cultural and industrial school fair. Durlnr the past two weeks organisa tion meetings have been held and social centers organized similar to that at View at the following polntSr the asso ciated districts in each case being given: idgfiald, with Baker, Spenoer and Pio neer and West Pioneer as associated dis tricts, and K.

I thought tma waa something whloh wa would have to urge tipon-ihem, and in some .Instances force them Jo accept But, on the' centrary. we have found them everywhere hungry for Just this kind of thing. At nearly every meeting there have been people who have come f to 14 miles to sea if we did not have something whloh they ware wanting for their communities. At Yaooit there, waa a woman rrom uoie, wno spoaa, ana said, 'Can't you bring one of those good leotures to our school? Ia there some one who would come to us? a It seems that we are shut off from any of the In fluences which tend to urt boys anq girls up to glimpses of higher things.' I have heard many sermons on the "Call from Macedonia,' but never one that moved me as that real call did. "A woman In an audience rose and said, 'I have lived here aeveral yeara now, yet am not acquainted with many of my neighbors. Calling doesn't seem to be much of a fashion here, and there U no plaee to go to meet the neighbors. "The Saturday nigkt dance Is the only public social gathering we have. Ones a year there has been a school enter tainment, and everybody seems to go to that' .This woman, it seems to me, put the challenge squarely up to the school to lead out" ' That ha-whole question-of social life in the oountry Is very largely one of leadership was further Indicated by the remarks of a farmer in another rural conference. "I don't believe the boya and girls have aa good time as they used to, . We used to go & or miles to spelling bees, debates and sucn tnings. 1" J&" u":CET?TTBlr every meeting loaZr crown Older. While we are all newconv ers, no one seems to care who takes the lead; but after awhile, when we all have known each other for years, no ene seems, to Ilka to .organize anything. I am In favor of having regular social gatherings at the schoolhouse, where we all feel free to come." A rural teacher's point of view origin ally and vigorously expressed was given by J. E. Petite, of Union district when he said, "My pupils are fust hungerng for something like this. We will accept Mr. Dickson's challenge to spell, and. ha need not fear our beating him, either. Work of this kind helps the teacher get acquainted with the rear side of his pu pils' natures. In the . schoolroom they are not always their natural selves; but at a literary or social meeting of this kind they are. It helps a teacher to be well acquainted with Ms pupils. Then, parents are not always their natural selves when the teacher calls. They feel they ought'to fix up a little, or cook ex tra.

"We had one aoolal meeting at the school this year," said a woman at Or chards, "and met some people with whose children my children had been going to school for years, and yet with wham I was not acquainted. Before the days of electric cars and bicycle paths we had good meetings. It seems we ought to be able to enjoy the same to day." A farmer who had visited and looked over the industrial school plant at a state reform school said that It was ao much better than the educational advan tages most boys had to laarn to do something practical that be thought sometimes (t would be good for all the boys to be just a little worse and get sent there for their education. He said he liked the agricultural and Industrial contest phase of social oenter work. Several lines of action have been started through these organization meetings which prove the spontaneous power or public meetings In rural com munltlea. At View the need of c-lav sheds was mentioned. The ceonle took up the idea at once, and a committee waa-xormed anfl work volunteered to build a play shed at the central district Many delegates from the associated distriota declared their purpose was to start similar buildings In their own dis tricts. A Dole delegate told of the plana their industrioua teacher was making to prepare not lunones tor her ohildren on for prises for the spelling and other con tests have come spontaneously, A wholesome and promising curiosity was expressed by one woman, who de clared, "I will go to these social center meetings, If they are started. I would like to see what they do and how they act at them." An elderly gentleman said social cen ter work should bring parents Into bet ter relationship with their children. "Many years ago my father took me to school the first day. and I heard him say to the teacher, 'Burnett I hope you Ell- CLOSING OUT - ' ANDIRONS - ' SCREENS FIRESETS -READING LAMPS The ridiculous prices we have put on these articles should close them out h one dJy.

What Social Centers Are Accomplishing. There la no elaborate nor iron-clad machinery to the social center plan which State Superintendent Josephine Preston la making state wide. The prlnolpal of the central district is at the head, unless for aome special rea son he cannot act. Meetings are gener ally held at the central sohool, but may be passed around. If any of the associat ed districts desire to play the host In numbers there is both strength and In spiration. So many small districts would be unable to carry on a social work alone, but gladly Join with a sis ter dlstriot All over the country skat ing rtnks and dance halla are flourish ing, or being built Whatever may be their Influence upon young people, it is generally conceded that the social life of the boys and girls must not be whol ly of the commercialized, cheap, or sor did kind. Mrs. Preston Is trying to in spire the schools of the state to help lead out along lines of higher Ideala. In this she haa ample backing. The Washington Boys' and Girls' Ag ricultural and Industrial Contest asso ciation, having for tta aim Instruction UBdiipiratioa - of tfca boys an4glrl alona- the nraotieal lines of training, in dorses the social or community center plan, aa it lends system and order to tne contest work, and at the same time forms the foundation of an enduring quickening of life on the farm, wnere more lightness of heart and spontaneity of fellowship are crying needs.
