COLONiZING POVERTY

A writer in the Forum has discovered
a cure for the evils of overcrowGing and
poverty in large eities-evilS that are
becoming more and more conspicuous
as the population grows and concen-
trates. That is, the writer conveys the
impression that it is discovery; but
the fact Of the matter is that the rem
edy, il such 1t be, is as old as human
society, and has been agitated at inter-
walls for the past thousand years. He
argues that by diyerting the congestion
of humanity in the great centerS of pop
ulatlOn to the rural districts, where
their labor may be made profitable,
many of the evils of poverty in the
cities may be overcome.
The idea may be an excellent one in
theory, but it can never be put into
practice. 1t is perfectly natural for the
people generally to gravitate towards
the cities. Man is gregarious animal,
and delights in association with his kind.
The young man brought up Ill the rural
districts wearies of the monotOny of eX-
iStence on the farm. He hears stories
of the pleasures and successes of city
Il
who have achieved fortune in trade and
have bright pictures to paint of business
and society i'll the metropolis. His daily
round of duties becomes irksome, and
he seizeS the first opportunity of for
saking the pursuits and scenes with
which he is familiar and plunging head
long into the maelstrom of city life. In
nine cases out OF ten he fails. Even if
he has an apparent advantage. he soon
finds that the wits of the city men are
keener than those of the men he has
been accustomed to associate with.
They have been sharpened by constant
contact with their fellows, aud the man
from the country finds he is no match
for them. But he is persevering or
proud. In either case he persists. He
will not acknowledge defeat and go
back to the country. He will fight to
the end, and conquer if such thing is
possible. He continues the unequal
fight only to sink lower and lower.
Poverty overtakes him. and with it
comes the loss of friends. and eventu-
ally association with class he has pre-
viously despised. Broken in spirit, he
drifts along with the stream of vagrant
humanity and finally sinks into name
less grave, forgetting the world and by
the world forgot.
The cities are colonized from the
country in accordance with a natural
law or longing. The reverse of this
cannot be brought about. There is lit.
tie in country life to attract the young
the middle-aged and the old have formed
habits of life which cannot easily be
disturbed. A man accustomed to city
life and manners would be out of his
element amid rural surroundings. He
could not make himself useful in the
fields, for agricultural pursuits require
experience. skill and perseve rance in
no less degree than do other occupa-
tons. TO coloniZe lot of city failures
in an agricultural community would be
equivalent to imposing upon it the
maintenance of gigantic charitable
institution. A few might earn enough
for their own support, but majority
would be objects of charity: for man
who cannot earn living in the city
will stand poor show for subsistence

But hundreds tried to get inside.

As elbows gouged him i'll the chest;
He had been inside an hour or more,
But had only reached the second floor.

To reach the top floor. but, alas, was found
Weary and aged and cold as ice;
He had died of old age in that strange de-

Killed and mangled, from near and far,
Because of the falling of that great star.
