75 TS. PER YEAR
THE GRANGE
Conducted by J. W. DARROW,
I'resg Correspondent New Fork State
Grange
AN IDEAL GRANGE HALL.
Its Sl«f, General Plan and equip
ment Described.
FSpecial Correspondence ]
Since years of experience have de
veloped the real liome work of the
grange the up to date grange hall must
conform to the demands of such prog
ress. For years it has been conceded
to be of benefit if the subordinate
grange had in its own name and con
trol a place called "home." Because
of the grange confining Its membership
to those chiefly Interested In agricul
tural pursuits this home naturally lo
cates Itself out In the country. That
It may represent the grange to the
passerby the surrounding, grounds
should be ample for sheds for horses,
wtth a good variety of trees and a
lawn to accommodate gatherings of
people as occasion may require. The
entire outside premises should be kept
in an inviting condition.
As to the grange hall itself, the out-
Bide design should be in harmony wltli
the uses for which it is built, and this
suggests a harmonizing of both church
and sehoolhouse architecture. To meet
all requirements the building should be
at least 24 by OO feet 011 the ground,
with eighteen foot posts on the sides.
This will permit the lower part of' the
building to be eight feet from floor to
celling and leave nine foot sides for
the upper room, which, with an arched
ceiling from a system of collar Joists,
will give a good effect. The lower part
of ihe hall should l>e divided to accom
modate hallway, entrance, kitchen,
stairway and a large assembly room,
which is also suitable for a banquet
hall, and. inasmuch as children under
fourteen years of age must now be pro
vided for, this room becomes a very
proper place for them, and during the
lecturer's hour they can sit with their
parents in the grange. This large room
below, being warm and light, is very
convenient for all members In which
to hang their wraps on hook rails
around the outer walls. Still further,
this large lower room can be used for
all common entertainments, and espe
cially is it suitable for this when it has
a platform or stage at one end. with
suitable scenery.
The upper story of the building
should be divided into stair landing,
anteroom, property closet, a nursery
and the grange hall proper. While the
lower rooms should have naked floors,
t lie stairway and all floors above
should be carpeted and the grange hall
should have finished and decorated
walls and be as well furnished as the
sitting room of a well to do farmer's
home. Annexes for libraries and court
scenes should also be provided. Such
a grange building will cost about SI,OOO
to $1,200.
A grange contemplating the building
of a hall or home of this kind can start
with the following subscription list:
"We, the undersigned members of
grange, agree to give the
amounts of hand labor, team labor,
material and money set opposite our
respective names for the purpose of
building a grange hall at such place
and time and in accordance with such
plans as the grange may specify."
Such a subscription will give a start
which, in the hands of a good building
committee, can be made togo a long
way toward securing the desired ob
ject. It is generally necessary to lejid
a few hundred dollars to finish and
furnish, all of which can be paid off
with suppers and entertainments of
various kinds.
It will lie noted that In planning the
rooms the children and babes are pro
vided for. This Is to encourage the
mothers togo to the grange. The
children, woven into the lecturer's hour
programme, make the ideal entertain
ment. Where the children are thus
well cared for the parents will become
interested. GEORGE IV IIORTON.
Importance of the Grange.
The system of grange work 48 80
broad and so varied and so excellent in
Its conception that It appeals to the
practical common sense, good Judgment
and interest of all law abiding rural
citizens, and it has awakened the well
wishes of all classes of people through
out our land. Its conception is graud.
its precepts pure, its teachings true, its
efforts high, its motives noble, aud Ita
plans are wise. Such an organization
cannot fail in its endeavor, and it will
attract the best and noblest to its sup
port. The grange is a character build
er, a home maker, an educator and a
social benefactor. It Is very closely
connected with the home, the church
and the school, the four formiug one
vast intellectual chain which brings us
the richest fruit# of our land.—Michi
