Sylva, N. C., Tuesday, May 10, 1926.
Another carload of Jersey cows is
a sign that Jackson farmers are still
on the right road.
Jersey cows and poultry will save
the day for the farmer if properly at
tended to.
At the present rate Jackson's main
highways will soon be hard-surfaced,
and then look out for the people from
other parts of the country to come
teaming in here.
A large number have subscribed for
THE RURALITE; but there is still
room for more yet. The Ruralite
gives all the news that it possibly
can get hold of. Now if there is not
enough news in it to suit you just
let us know what is going on in your
section.
Sylva will soon be a paved town,
just watch her spread herself then.
COMBINING HOME, CHURCH,
AND SCHOOL
In the outset, the home should be
considered the foundation of all three.
The child gets his foundation for ail
educational and moral good in the
home. The home should entertain re
ligious and educational ideals. It
should stand for all that is good in
human life and welfare.
In order to make it possible to
unite the home, church, and school
the people must realize the necessity
of so doing. This may be done by
educating the people. The parents
must realize that the home is the
real foundation of ail. As they be
come aware of the importance
of the home, and its re
lation to the Church and school, they
will back the movement and help to
force any plan for uniting the three
more firmly.
People should realize that the
home, church, and school are working
with the same people, so why not
work together? All are working for
the common good of humanity. It is
time that the three concentrate their
efforts and cooperate in bringing
peace and harmony throughout the
country. ;
Rural communities suffer from lack
of a civic center wherein things of
general interest might be discussed.
The mind is broadened by social con
tact. The modern young people crave
variety in their lives. They cannot
have the same amusements as those
in the city, so we must give them
something to reconcile them in their
homes. There are many things seem
isolated in a sense that will make
for a better unity of the three insti
tutions;. Socials may* be given in
either home, church or school. The
church should not stand aloof, sphinx
like, and see the younger generation
participate in those things that most
all people enjoy in life. Churches
are to help and to save. Why educate
people under the church spires, give
them knowledge and a desire to do,
then have church stand back with a
cold look and say, "They are of the
world, I shall not stoop to help them.
Let them come to me." The church
is to save. Then let's have coopera
tion and all strive for the common
good.
In conclusion, the teacher can do
more for the unity of the three
named institutions than anyone else
because the teacher, in a way, directs
and influences the whole community.
Then if pastor, teacher, and parents
can get together and pull through
their combined efforts the world will
gradually become a better place in
which to live.
