THE RURAL HEelaA TO CITIES.

All the World Over People Are Floching
From the Country 10 Reside In Towns.
One OF the remarkable social features Of
this era is the large and constant move
ment OF population from thu country to
the cities-a movement that tends 20 rural
depopulation 10 is not confined TO any
country Of any part Of the earth, but is
most marked in the oldest and most thick
Is populated countries Of Europe. IL is
also a movement Of considerable impor-
lance TO this hemisphere, and in the new
est OF ali civilized countries. Australia
It is best stated perhaps, as a dispropor-
tionate growth Of towns TO thaeytent that
IN the past 30 or 70 years there has been
en- actual diminution Of the rural popula-
tion in the greater portion of Europe and
IN many parts of this continent and Aus
tralia.
Perhaps this movement has been most
marked in Great Britain and Ireland. The
migration Of population from the rural
districts % towns was first apparent i'm
Wales In 1851. Il did not become Of any
importance iu England until some o years
later. During the last 20 years eight
counties in England and three i'm Wales
have lost 10 per cent q their rural popula-
tion--that IT, the rural population in those
counties today is 10 per cent less than IL
was 20 years ago. In some districts. plr-
ticularly ia the southwest Of the kingdom,
the decrease in rural population is as high
as go to 80 per cent. Ia Scotland the move
ment toward the towns began co years
ago, and parliamentary returns show that
the depopulation has been much greater
than in England and Wales, but the pre-
else percentage Is not stated. The high
lands have suffered most but the lov-lauls
have also lost heavily. The returns quoted
aver that the formation Of deer forests,
which necessitate the disp0ssession and
driving away wholesale Of very many fam
hic7, has played no important part in The
depopulation OF the rural districts This
Indicates that 10 some deeper underlying
