enough to produce a paper wliieh

the most widely reac! single puhlication
in the world, have this
to say of inral school consolidation:
"It oupht to ho pi * 11 \ well

"A jrrt at majority of these
schools are poorly housid and

bare little room with a desk, a

"Now, all over the middle
west at least, there are tew
rural districts that are not within
easy haul of a village graded
school; still fewer that might not
have a fairly equipped graded
school within e asy haul hy consolidating
the districts. Already
in some localities a wagon to

A Good Town.
Here are some words from
Kdward l\. Graham in Harper's
Weekly that are in such thorough
accord with the doctrines of city
building advanced hy this newspaper
from time L? time lh.?i we
cannot resist reprinting them:
"We do not ask for the biggest
town rr the riclvmt town, so
that the people at the top can
have enough money to mop work.
Wo do ask for vvi.-dom eiuKsph to
know what the p> rmanent and
propressive's pood things t<>
work lor are, fho civic will to
work for thorn, and the materia!
prosperity to put wheels under
them to make them po.
"What wo have learned is
that it is wise to work together
for a pood place to live a pood
town, in a pood county, in a pood
State. And we mean hv a pood
place to li\ou a place both t<?
make a pood iivinpand to live a
pood life ? pood money, poop
water, pood street^, pood schools,
pood churches. A pood place to
live is a place to invest money
and pet bipper Vet trjiS, aid to
invest life and pet bipper leturns.
"Whatever promot< s the ma- 1
- ?
r
Good citizenship is not a fierce!
struggle in our business to take
all the other fellow has and then <
endow a school and church for i
him to go to for consolation, j i
Big men in business are more '
and more coming to discover the 1
value of profit-sharing and co-j|
operation between all factors, j
even in business itself; and for- ,
^tiuaate wilt he. that communiU^
winch extends to every detail of
, its economic life that same
[doctrine of fraternal co-operation
which gave us democratic government
and the Christian re- ;
ligion."
With the city, as with the
individual there can be no prosperity
worth while that is not;
based on order, equity and a j
sincere devotion to the common
good. A good town implies a|
town that is rounded out equally!1
in all desirable aliases.
