the benefit of the most approved methods of 

 agriculture and allied subjects. The com- 

 munity center is designed to furnish a place 

 where men and women can meet for the in- 

 terchange of ideas. 



Primarily, the school is for the average 

 boy and girl, whose institutional education 

 ends even before they finish the secondary 

 school, the purpose being to train them to 

 become useful men and women and capable 

 of supporting themselves, and thus adding to 

 the wealth production of the country at large 

 and the districts in which they live, and to 

 better their condition of life. 



The Washington commission has prepared 

 tentative plans for a community center, in- 

 cluding a consolidated rural school. It is 



designed to cover ten acres and will serve 

 a school area of thirty-six square miles, 

 the most distant point being three miles. 

 In addition to the school building, the plans 

 show a large community hall, residence for 

 the principal and supervisor, athletic and 

 play grounds, tennis court, pressure water 

 tanks for domestic, lawn, irrigation, stock and 

 fire uges, and plots for the practice of agri- 

 culture, horticulture, floriculture, and forestry. 

 Surrounding and bisecting the tracts will be 

 models of good road building. 



The school and other buildings will be un- 

 der the direction of a principal, trained in 

 the various branches of agriculture and fa- 

 miliar with conditions in the northwest. —
