VILLAGE IMPROVEMENT SOCIETY 



with unwise and uncalled-for suggestions 

 which we have insisted on having adopted. 

 Wherever and whenever this is done there will 

 be friction. We have performed the work 

 assigned us by those whom we have chosen to 

 take the lead in an honest, hearty fashion, glad 

 to do it, because we felt that it was of general 

 as well as personal benefit. It has stimulated 

 and strengthened our pride in the place we 

 live in. It has made us feel, as never before, 

 the mutuality of our interests. 



But we are not so satisfied with what we 

 have done that we feel content to fold our 

 hands and rest on our laurels. We have other 

 improvements in view. Our society seems to 

 have become a permanent thing. One im- 

 provement naturally leads to another, and the 

 work of a live Village Improvement Society 

 like ours is a process of general evolution 

 which may go on indefinitely.
