FROM COUNTRY TO CITY.
Country People Taking a Front Place in
Our Cities

The conflict between city people and
those who live in he country is as old as
history. There always has been an influx
from without to within. So long as the
area of cities was limited. this was strong 2.
ly and successfully resisted by the citizens.
They felt themselves a superior class to the
rustics. The very words turbine" AMI
rustic tell the story.
The Romans called the outside dwell
ers ''villani;" from which come two words,
one of honorable significance, villa, :"
and the other, perhaps little modified by
medieval use, william. Roman citiz ans
looked down upon the country folk as an
average New Yorker does upon a stray
Jerseyman from the pines.
All literature has been tinged by this
feeling, and both writers and statesmen
have continued to deplore the excessive
growth OF cities as a national evil, and
have exhorted countrymen to stay at home,
tilllng them how much better off they
were In the country.
Observation has now taught us that this
growth Of cities is d necessary part of the
evolution Of our social structure, and that
te is not a growth at the expense of the
country, but for the benefit OF the country,
as well as that of the city.
Recent statistical inquiries have shown
that cities grow because they absorb the
best, and not the worst, of the rural
population, who better their condition by
coming to town.
Charles Booth, the eminent English
statistician, in his great work, Labor
and Life Of the People, has shown from
very extended inquiry, that "1ost Of those
who come to London fror the country
either have work already engaged, or
have good prospects Of getting work;
and that their condition is generally i'm
proved by their change of abode.
The British census of 1890 confirms this
in striking manner by showing that
the people Of country birth are most
in the wealthy quarters OF the
city, where employment abounds, and
least numerous in the poverty-stricken
quarters.
All this is contrary to the preconceiv-
ed opinion that countrymen wander aim
lessly to the city, and are chiefly tramps,
OF broken-down persons.-Ihomas Curtis
Clarke, in Scribner.
