The two children, - one of mental ability, and he of manual training tendencies, - are getting the same thing in mental unfolding, but so differently. Manual training is furnishing a working capital, that will help to make his way in the world. He would never get this mental development if it were forced on him; because a mental strain is wearing, even to those who have strong tendencies in that direction.
We are trying to make good citizens of our boys and girls - let's give them a chance. Educate them, set before them ideals and standards which will go to make them American citizens - the best people in the whole round world.
Sixty per cent of the boys and girls are trained in the rural schools, and we must realize that "There is no real education that is not brought about by the child's training in the things that concern in his every day duties."
Because his father can not make a gate, hang a door, or repair furniture is no reason why a boy should not be taught to use tools properly.
The American boy, with the right training, will be self-reliant, self-helpful. If he be taught to play the game fairly, use his eyes to measure with the level, his hand to cut the tree to the square, his work matched and joined perfectly, I think the hearts of our boys will not stray far from RIGHT.

COMMUNITY BUILDERS, by Miss Sallaie Cirlot, County Home
Demonstration Agent
Upon the privacy and sanctity of the home rests the strength of the American Nation.
Home expresses the family life which is lived in the house. The ideals of home are created by the family, or by her who is to lead in its administration and arrangement,. Each home should be an institution of Society so managed that the best and most efficient citizens may be given to the community. The aim of home-making is character building.
The strength of the fallen nations was laid in the home. A ready response was received from the smallest home or community.
The homes, schools and churches build a community. Without a home there could not be a school, church, community, State or Nation.
The need of good communities comes from communities, towns, cities, States and Nations, a reflection of the past stages of our own national life brings this forcibly to us. The leaders of the world are those who were leaders in their communities. The foundation of their leadership was laid in their country homes.
The greatest need of a community, State of Nation is the boys and girls. The greatest need of a community is true manhood and womanhood. Where are they to come from? They are to come from the home, school, church and community.
Are you doing your part? Christ, the greatest Man, was a community builder. Build your life like Christ. (KCHS-

A NEW STEP FORWARD, By Rev. Father Chauvin
Today marks a new step forward in the advancement and development of the cause of education in this chosen portion of our bounteous Southland.
This new edifice, which henceforth is to be dedicated to the great cause of education, and which we hope will last for ages as a monument of the devotion, and the generosity of the people of this place, is a living proof of the faithful co-operation of their good will in carrying out the spirit of intellectual advancement.
In the course of long ages this material edifice, like everything that comes from man, may indeed crumble beneath the ravages of time, but we have the fullest assurance that the cause in whose honor they have raised it - like all other things of God - will subsist forever.
Assured in advance that in facing the material difficulties which yet remain to be overcome, their unflagging support and cordial co-operation will not be lacking in the future, as they have never been wanting in the past, they must indeed thank God that they have enriched this fair little town with a new center of education.
