Its citizens are decided upon that point, but ne conclusion has been. artived at as to in just what form it should be provided. The United States Bureau of Education is following up its suggestion of the fitness of community buildings as soldiers memorials with particulars of the plan as it is: already being carried out in various places and with details as to requirements and possibili- ties. There is undoubtedly a sound basis for the feeling that the memories of those who gave and who risked their lives in the service of their country should be preserved in enduring granite and bronze. There is a legitimate appeal to sentiment which a strict utilitarian structure-cannot entirely satisfy. A monument is wanted. The community building idea has the advantage of not being'in conflict with this desire. Such a building can be in a very literal sense a monument; its peculiar merit is that it can be made even more directly and positively to perpetuate and enrich the ideals for whose protection the soldiers fought. 4 The model memorial building for a community center in the expert’s opinion, contains an assembly room, class rooms, a work shop, a library and reading room, a kitchen and store room, an open fireplace, “for its spiritual value in creating good cheer and the neighborly sense of fellowship;” and the instru- ments of voting, “to be erected permanently and use not only in the curriculum of the school ‘and in ‘public elections, but also as a symbol of the aim for which both the‘school and com- munity center stand.” . A The plan is flexible. There is no community, however small, that could not adopt. it in part. The extent to which it could be developed is limited only by material resources, vision and public spirit. -The community that elects to erect a memor- jal to the soldiers'in the more conventional form of arch or shaft will, of course, be within its rights and supported by time- honored precedent; but.this will not exclude it from the op- portunity, indeed the obligation, also. to* direct its community life in accordance with a quickened.resolve that these. honored dead shall not have died in vain. The education bureau’s sug- westion is commended as one most worthy of consideration as a means to-this end. : s () . ¥ ALL BEMIDJI TO JOIN IN WORK. Bemidji’s spring clean-up campaign, which will be car- sied on under the supervision of the Women’s Community Civic Club, has begun, and every effort will .be made to have the city in tip-top shape for Easter. -Bemidji is not going to let old mother Nature outdo it in the matter of “dressing up this spring. * 5 > Cleanliness, sanitation, beautification, congervation and sdafety are all synonyms. They symbolize good citizenship, and good citizenship is good business.. These things reduce fire insurance rates and fire losses, increase property values, re- move unsafe buildings, make cleaner alleys, yards and homes, develop more attractive and safer homes and places of busi- ness, and produce a community spirit that permanetly assures a. cleaner, safer, healthier and more attractive city. Such a spirit, when once well started is contagiqus. It practically refurnishes the entire town. As a matter of fact, from the standpoint of economy, it-is cheaper to keep things in repair and looking well than to allow hem to go to waste. Also, it is ¢heaper to keep well than to submit to conditions which spell sickness. Cleaning up and seeping clean is the practical solution of community sanitatary tvoblems. It can be done. o Spring calls for painting. ~Theangual loss through lack 0% painting is greater than the annual loss by fire. Cleaning ‘piand ‘painting is a long step toward fire prevention. This r'ds homes and business houses of .accumulations of rubbish that are liable to start fires and are 'menaces to a community. smember that all fires are the same size at the start. ' At the same time, the alleys should be cleaned; fences and sheds foutd be, repaired; vacant lots' should be cleaned and tin ¢ons, parer and dead weeds removed. . Look round the prem- i.es and see where a bit of carpentry work not only will hings look better, but will add.years to their wear., You bly also want to make things last a little longer by do- s little painting here and there. Let everybody enlist in the work and if they do not we can <raft them 'into service. : : ured ut the postbficel at' Bémiddl, Minn., s secord-class matter | S :?:{‘ota(!ons.i‘a;:_ of ;Mareh R‘x‘?&' Bl s P j 0 Iemidji residents should have home gardens this year, if for no other reason than because they are profitable.
