W. Boreham's book The Luggage of Life may have some application at just this stage of Community Service. "Someone has has said that every movement has its bowwow stage, its pooh-pooh stage and its hear-hear stage. Of these three phases the central one is infinitely the most difficult to negotiate. Between the howl of execration that greets the suggestion of a reform and the shout of applause that announces its final triumph, there is a long and toilsome stretch of steep and stony road that is very hard to tread. They are God's heroes who set a stout heart to that stiff brae, and walk and not faint." Judge Lindsey Likes Community Singing.-"It was like getting into a tub of warm water instead of getting into a cold lake," said Judge Ben Lindsey, as he addressed a group of leading citizens at Escanaba, Escanaba, Michigan, after a twenty-five minute community sing conducted by a Community Service song leader. Never before, said Judge Lindsey, had he had such a sympathetic audience and this he attributed to the community sing which preceded his lecture. At a meeting on the following day, Judge Lindsey, in commending the work of Community Service, spoke in terms of high praise of the Michigan Comumnity Council Commission. The law creating this Commission, Judge Lindsey said, should be duplicated in Colorado. Intensive Cultivation.-The growth of the future-at least of the immediate future-must be in quality and spiritual value. And that can come only through the concentrated, intensified striving of smaller groups. The field for special effort should now be the state, the city, the village-and each should be led to seek to excel 1 VIMU in something peculiar to it. If ideals are developed locally the national ones will come pretty near taking care of themselves.-Louis D. Brandeis in The Survey for November 13, 1920 Imagination.—When Canon Barnett was asked what he felt to be the greatest need of the people in London he replied, "Imagination." With all the movements for giving more adequate charitable relief, for providing greater material comforts, it is gratifying to see the increasing recognition of the wisdom of spending public money and effort conscientiously upon direct efforts to give people a chance to use their imagination, to secure self-expression. The leisure time movement in America has as yet made only a very small beginning, but the recognition already accorded it is proof of the still greater recognition which will come with the passing of the years. A Far Western Art Club.A Community Art Club is the latest activity of the Silver City Community House conducted by local Community Service. A clipping from the Silver City Enterprise gives the following information regarding it: "The Community Art Club, which was organized at a meeting held several weeks ago, held its second regular meeting on Tuesday evening at the Community House with a good attendance. Samples of the work by various members of the club were submitted and are now on display in the window of the Agee Drug Company, where they have attracted a great deal of attention. "The object of the club is the encouragement of art work in oil and water colors, charcoal, painting of china, crayon, clay modeling, stencilling and art photography. Special attention is to be given to western subjects. "An invitation is extended to all artists and students of art in the county to join the club. Meetings are to be held on the first Tuesday of each month.” Open-Air Theater in Oxford, Ohio.-School Life reports that that plans for an open-air theater for Western College, Oxford, Ohio, are in preparation.
