Show Mi. Pl.K.VSANT I'iHK'UESSIXG ('. N. Lund, Jr., editor of the Salina Call, a lonni-r resident of Mount Pleasant, gives a boost for Mount Pleasant in the following editorial of i last week's issue of the Call: "Up there in Mt. Pleasant, on a pot where we used to stumble through sage brush and over rocks,' they have just, completed and de-1 dictated a fine Carnegie library. In Imagination we were there and felt he thrill of the occasion and wonder, ed at the transformation. And we recalled how a short time ago they done away with an old, ghastly, cruel jail, just a block to the north, and on its ruins reared a noble high school. Verily the times do change, and varily Mt. Pleasant is developing develop-ing a soul. When men begin to get enough of slfeep and cattle, and lands and stocks and business, then they begin to find and develop their souls by reaching out for big schools, for fine music and poetry and art ond libraries and architecture. And thus, as individuals begin to find and develop their souls, so do communities com-munities begin to take on the things of the spirit. |
