The Call To Service! BY M. A. HENSON, ’83 m E ARE LIVING in strenuous times. Our Nation has been assailed with in and without. The call has gone forth to every citizen of the Nation for his support. Patriotic men and women are rallying to the defense of their country. It has occured to the writer that our Alumni Association, co-operating with the High School, might wield even a greater influence in the future than it has in the past, by choosing a few lines of action and concentrating upon these. What can the Alumni Association and the High School do to make Jackson a better and safer place in which to live? What can they do to contribute to the needs and welfare of the state and nation? First, Jackson needs a Public Library open every day and evening of the week, with a reading room where old and young may find papers, magazines and books of reference that individual homes cannot afford. Second, Jackson needs a Public Lecture Course during the winter, and a Chautauqua Course in the summer, where its citizens may receive entertainment and inspiration from the greatest artists and orators of the land. Third, Jackson needs a gymnasium for the physical training of its boys and girls. We should have an in-door gymnasium, but even more pressing is the need of public playgrounds. It will cost money to provide, equip, and maintain these, but it will be a saving of money in the long run. Already the town has permitted two groves within its corporate limits to be cut down. We have one more grove left. Before it is too late, this should be secured by the town, and sufficient land above high water mark where all our youth could engage in those sports indispensable to growth and development. Fourth. The last need that I shall mention is the completion of our High School building. Our Board of Education is anxious to do its part. To secure the means will require higher taxes, and taxes are never popular. The Alumni Association can do much to mold favorable public sentiment for this work. We hear much of the need of Americanization these days. We have few foreigners in our town, but our own people need training. Whatever makes life richer and better will improve citizenship and patriotism. Could the Alumni Association and the High School have a worthier aim?
