town of such site, it has two thousand pupils and students in schools and
colleges, which is also a remarkably high proportion to the population. Its
charch membership, proportional to population, is also amazingly high.
Clinton is very thoroughly organized. Not only are there scores of socie
ties. circles, etc., in the churthes, and many others in the institutions, but the
,town at large i^ quite extensively organized in the matter of fraternal organi
zations, paujotic organizations, and civic organizations. Among'the latter, the
ilhaniher of ('qmmeref of Clinton has made a most commendable record. It is
supported by the- Merchants Retail Association, by Kiwauis, Rotary and Lion
clubs aod by the Woman’s club, enga^d in civic work.
1 Uiiton has much to boast of but nothing quite equal to its women, who
arc active, energetic, self-sacrificing supporters of every good thing. From
Ibc staadpoint of social life, these organizations contribute in very ‘arge mea-

aad'htcrary entertainment; the orphanage in similar manner; the graded
acWoed system on its commencement occasions; the Training school with its
fTaqaeat public progi-ams, and through their athletic (eams,^ add much of en-1
