ways Of interpreting so anomalous fact is sometimes
looked upon sign Of permanent decay. Yet France
substantial civilization Europe Her con-
don is the ideal of social philosophers for she has
greater proportion Of Independent landhoders than any
other country Her sturdy yeomanry the envy of
Europe, and the guaranty Of national stability.
But appears that country made up of innumerable
small landhoders and Independent farmers IS given to
small families This is the in France and hence the
lesser growth Of population There also certain urban
Influences that are working the same results.
But the great body Of the population being agricultural
the standard Of living is kept high There
is little extreme poverty. the families small they
are thrifty. the substantial conditions that belong to
a heavy landovning class are present
Those who hastily jump to the conclusion that France
