Take the first test, the relations between en-

which has broken out afresh, and With increased
bitterness, in England, is the answer. Thirty
years ago the old Gma1l l-master system vas still
strong in many trades, there was not q single

the employer often worked with his men
generally had soma personal knowledge Of them,
Now, in almost every trade the large shops have

Again he SAYS:

maid and mistress, live indeed together, but

Another evil tendency is the gathering Of pop
ulation about city centres, which, while bringing
the different classes Of the community nearor
each other physically, drives than further apart
socially
But ~ tho "prosreas Of civilization draws
more and more people to thu great centres OF
population, so when it has got them there it
seems inevitably to divide them more and moro
into separate communities. The rich and poor
are further apart than ever: The larger city
grows the more sharply the line is drawn: The
new quarters are occupied exclusively BY the
rich, the ground being too valuable to waste on
any but those who can pay hesry ground-rents.
To these quarters migrate, gradually but surely,
the employers OF labor, merchants, professional
