OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDiINGS OUR GREAT LEADERS—WHERE ARE THEY? Is our America of today sowing only for gain? Is there an undue emphasis today in our nation on greatness solely from a financial standpoint? There are many grounds upon which to answer that question in the affirmative. Despite the fact that we have multiplied our schools and colleges, we are not producing the great men today to compare with such outstanding figures as Lincoln, Clay, Webster, Seward or Calhoun in public life. No such journalists as Greeley, Pul- jtzer, Grady or Medill have appeared recen_tly. What at_xthors of today can stir the souls of men with their works as_}ilcl’the authors of “The Psalm of Life, “Tom Sawyer,” “Evangeline,” or the “Comemmoration Ode”? In the pulpit today, where are our Beechers, our Talmadges, our Brooks or our Abbptts? | Two reasons account for the dearth of outstanding figures in Church and State. They are the mothers and the churches. Until recently this country was impelled by a force that was; purely American. It was a spirit given to the nation by thiat| band of Pilgrim Fathers who put above everything else—char- ater—and made home a dominant factor in life. Then a man’s| financial credit mattered not if his moral credit was satisfactory.| If he lacked the moral qualities, no amount of money could buy| him into the circle of the country’s leaders. Under such a spirit| America produced moral and intellectual giants. They cher- ished high ideals and strove to practice them. Then followed a period of invention and came and fortunes were made over night. Stories of immense| wealth, accumulated in a short time, fired the rpinds of the‘, young, and financial success became their one ambition. Great| commercial centers sprang up. The modest sturdy homes be- came depleted in the rush to the cities. Business and politics suddenly became the dominant motives of the land. We have now reached_a point from which we can look| back and see where we have erred. When we started to sow| for gain, we were immediately foredoomed from reaping a crop of great men. The latter imply character, faith and truth. Suc- cessful business may have these qualities, but not necessarily so. The outcome has been two ideals struggling for the su-| premacy in the nation, the spiritual and the materialistic, with| the latter at present apparently having the better of the argu-| ment. We have become lovers of ease, idleness, luxury, pleas-| ure and extravagance and are robbing the nation of homes| wherein mothers mould men of moral character. | This, then, is the answer to the question, “Is America SOW- | ing only for profits?” As ye sow, shall ye reap. ‘ Until America again puts first things first in public and private life, and places integrity in business and political lifr as the chief quality requisite to confidence, she cannot hope to give to the world a harvest of great men, and commensurate ~with the integrity of the leaders of the nation, will be the na- tion itself. Business and financial sources are rejoicing over the sustained strength shown by Liberty bonds. It is not merely because the war securities are| selling at increasing prices on the market, but because of what it means to| business and general national conditions.

Large towns and citles have or- dinances regulating: the species, spac- ing and care of shade trees on the parking. Odinarily these regulations| prevent mistakes and are wise in th»lr; construction. In smaller towns the denizens plant what and where they please. The result is not as pleasing and in time, if the town prospers and grows, much early effort needs to be undone. The common mistakes, according to W. J. Morrill of the Agricultural planting, the use of more than one species, often several, on one street and different alignments of trees. Care is required in choosing spnrles. suited to climatic and soil conditions. | Too often rapid growing, inferior species are selected ; they may, be used satisfactorily as fillers to be removed | early but planting of the best species | for permanence will be done by the most far-seeing” communities. If one will dqraw the following men- tal picture, he will not go far wrong| in street tree planting. 'Trees along the street serve as formal ornaments, like pillars ornamenting a Greek temple. They should all look alike, in shape and size, on an entire street. Like the temple pillars, they should! be in one alignment and equi-distantly spaced. The ideal thay not be attained but the nearer the approach to it thej more pleasing will be the street. 1 MANSFIELD TO LEAD THE WAY Place for | Demonstration of Healthful De- velopment of Children. Mansfield in Richland county, | Ohlo, has come into a new and unique fame. A city of less than 30,000, it} has a certain distinction as the former home of John Sherman. It has the]| census distinction of having increased | in population 34 per cent between 1910 and 1920. The new distinction comes from its having been selected from among eighty communities by the Natlonal Health council as a place for the demonstration of what can be done for the most healthful develop- ment of children. Its qualitications for the high experiment are said most nearly to approach those of *“a typical American community.” Huxley's definition of disease was “a perturbation of the normal activi- ties of a living body.” As Dr. John M. Clarke, the geologist, in a most engaging report on “Organic Depend-| ence and Disease,” has put it: “Disease is any departure from normal living.” The proposed experiment, carried through a period of at least five years, should not only keep this typical city of Mansfield and the surrounding county in normal hea'th, but also help to show the ways of preventing disease the formation of health habits and the like) in thousands of other com- munities. So Mansfleld will ~ lead the way to “normaley” in national health.—New York Times. Needless Discomfort of Cities. When the dog-star rages and the flerce heats envelop the earth, the imperfections of the city as a dwelling place become mo: ent. Hot weather is hot every 3 but the haking pavements, reflecting furiously the s of the sun, add 'a peculiar iscomfort. “And, us they retain their they play a leading part ininnking the night comfortless. Here is wheére the value of grass and trees is most conspicuous. Fvery Wttle park, every shaded street, is an asset of enormous value. It has come to be realized that even manufacturing districts need not he ugly and uncomfortable. The modern factory is a very different sort of af- fair to the cld. Suppose all our citles had been laid out with tree-lined streets, abundant open spaces, fre- quent playgrounds and with no hud- dled alleys or dreary stretches of brick and stone. A good many vital problems -of health and would have been solved in the simplest way. But in the building of their cities men have too often deliberately made themselves miserable, — Philadelphia | Inquirer, Pupils Build School's Walks. From the sodding of the schivol yard to the planting of trees and shrubs, school pupils have now taken to the laying of concrete walks about the grounds. Taking just pride in their pretty stucco and brick schoolhouse, the pupils of a country school in Ne- hraska have laid about 3,000 square feet of walk. This includes the walks leading to the highway, circling the building and protecting the various features of a playground in the re; paves favorably with that done by ex- perienced labor.

The modern ideas of education are all very.well as far as they go, but there is an old and well-tried proverb which says that alittle knowledge is a dangerous, thing.

Mother, father and a sister went to a hospital with semi-serious injuries and when they returned home they were loud in thefr praises of the attentions of the nurses and tlie kindness of nelghbors in send- ing fruit, flowers and bonbons, A few' days .ago Marjorie toddled into tiie ‘street and was struck by a passing. auto, being knocked down and suffering a bump on the head. She was able to hurry into the house, where she said to her father: “Daddy, do you think this bump is big enough for me to go to that hos- pital?"—Indiandpolis News.
