COMMUNITY SPIRIT
Senator Love To
Speak Here Monday
An address by Senator Thos.
B. Love of Dallas will feature
the program of the Parent
Teacher Association at the
high school auditorium next
Monday night.
Senator Love is the author
of the county school law
passed at the last session of
the Legislature. He will ex-
plain that law and treat the
cause of education and the
public school system in an in-
teresting manner.
There will be other numbers
on the program. The public is
invited.
What makes a
or city what it is
natural resources, location, cli-
mate. nor even the houses,
streets or parks; but the peo-
ple who live in it. If it is a peo-
ple of cooperation, enterprise
and taste even the desert may
l>c made a paradise city: if >t
is not, the fairest site on the
face of the nature would be
marred and blighted. In mak-
ing stock of our resources let
ns head the list with a spirited
citizenship.
Town or community spirit
if analyzed would probably
show just the elements named
above, cooperation, enterprise
and taste. Let this be the
standard for measuring our
own value in constructive
citizenship. In holding this
yardstick up to the community
let us not forget that it i*-
divided into the smaller units
of feet and inches. If even one
fraction of ;:n inch be shorten-
I ed it. is not a true measure.
community I u and c.
) jt js not j spirit both begin at home. One
good citizen reports that he is
first going to put his own
house in order and then start
a cruise for civic attractive-
ness. That is the right order
of procedure. Beauty in one's
own premises is the standing
and standard argument to the
people next door. Would you
prize yourself so highly if
you were your own closest
neighbor. "And as ve would
that men should do to you, do
ve also to them likewise."
