educntion a*d-growth. These opportunities are be
ing offered not only in schools bat through Gr-
gnnizntiooz oataide e f the school Organization^ for
boys and girls, yowng mea and women, are offering
constructive activities that these young people may
have a well rounded life, edoeated along health,
civic, religions, mental, and moral liaos. Hoch an
organization is that o f the Camp Fire »Girls. •
The organization, founded in 19|2 by Mr. and
Mrs. Luther Gnlick who realized its great need; has
naw spread from the United States to twenty for
eign oeuatriea and has become an essential part of
. . young girls training in all of these countries as
well as in the United States.
This week of March 13 to 20 marks the fifteenth
anniversary of Camp Fire work, and this Birthday
Week has been dedicated io Tree Servloe. Such

Onr community ia not missing out on all of
this. Our local Camp Fire Organization under cap
able leadership, has already done its' hit towards
rieanéng ap the Municipal Camp Grounds. Its Sun
day afternoon Tree Service was an effort to bring
"~ T q the public the value, the beauty, and the sanctity
of trees. Under the auspices of the Ashland Camp
Fire Girls the Forestry Department of Medford
ia sending a man to our city to lecture oft the pro
tection of our forests. .Wednesday .evening the
Camp Fire Girls of Talent, Medford and Ashland ’
broadcast a Tree Protection program from Med
ford to every part of the state.
These ten steps tr the' Otettp Firs program
toward “ eitiaenship and sdHil consciousness.“ Lfet

which are building up our future citizens.

Organizing Rural Communities
Cities and towns of fair and medium size have'
gained enormous benefits during recent years from
organizations of business and various societies form
ed for p iv ic improvement, bat the majority of
country towns lack adeqaate organized effort of this
kind. Much is said about the depressed condition
of the farming population. * The prosperity of any
district can be improved, if the people of such com-«
«amities will take hold in an organized way to con-
faont their ghrtn^es, in the way that the people of
the larger cities have done.
To this the ohjeotion is offered that people
are extremely bogy, and it is all they can do to
attend to the details of their own bosiuees, without
devoting any time to- any general community or
ganization. And y e t'it need not neoesaorily take
any great amount of time to carry on business or
ganization work.
One thing that holds hack many towns, is that
the business men of the eenters and the farmers of
the outlying districts, have never learned to work
together, or formed any habit of cooperating. There
is frequently a little underlying antagonism between
them.
.
%
It w o u ld pay the business men to take a few
hours eyery week if necessary, to give to the work
of carrying on some active organization that should
promote the prosperity of the whole district, ¿nd
it would pay the farmers also to give some of tbeij
own time to such an effort.'
1 '
If they would do that, they could fotte <ud
carry out plans to improve the agricultural methods
of the neighborhood, arrange co-operatiye marketing
where the
seemed necessary, aud work for
improved business generally.
