TEN TESTS OF PROGRESS
FOR YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
Gov. Cornwallis of Virginia has is
sued a statement to all the people
of that State urging that any indif
ference in the present war crisis be
supplanted by real American spirit.
The Governor in his statement calls
npon patriotic organiztions, commer
cial bodies and civic societies to
adopt regulations pledging support
to "the President and those who sur
round and aid him."
Rear Admiral James Oliver, chlet
of naval Intelligence, has been nam
ed by Secretary Daniels as Govern
or of the Danish West Indies, which
; was liken over Saturday by the Unit
ed States. The ceremonies of trans
iffr took place at St. Thomas and In
Washington on the same day, Secre
tary McAdoo delivered tbegovern
ment's warrant, for $ 25,000,000 in pay
ment to the Danish minister.
Comptroller Williams finds that
the assets of the national banics of
the country on March 5 aggregated
more .than f 16,000,000,000, exceeding
by more than J5.O00.00O-the combin
ed resources of the Bank of England,
the Bank of France, the Bank of It
aly, the Bank of Spain, the Bank of
Norway, the Bank of Sweden, the
Swiss National Bank, the National
Bank of Denmark, the Bank of Ja
an and the Reichsbank of Germany.
Rumors In Wilmington to the ef
fect that German agents were seek
ing to Inuuence the negro population
to at least remain inactive in the
event of actual hostilities between the
two countries called forth a strong
denial on the part of the negroes. In
public meeting they declared that the
black man has always been willing
to shed his blood for the Stars and person."
Here are ten agencies of progress
which we believe no neighborhood
can afford to be without:
,1. Proper church and Sunday
School organizations.
2. A three-teacher school with In
struction in egriculture and domestic
science, and school library patron
ized by both old and young.
3. A community hall or auditorium
lu connection with the schoolhouse,
suitable as a place of assembly tor
whatever meetings the neighbor?
wish to hold. ;..''.'
4. A local "farmers' organization.
5. A club for farm women.
6. A "community league", meeting
quarterly or oftener and embracing
alt citizens.
7. A community fair held each fell
8. A young people's club, probably
embracing debating, imusical and dra
matic features in addition to Indus
tr'al features such as corn cluh and
canning club work.
9. A "credty union" or mutual sav
ings and loan association to encour
age thrift.
10. A neighborhood baseball term
or other agencies of recreation .
Credit your neighborhood with ten
points for each agency of progress It
lias, and see how much It lacks of
making a perfect score 100. The
