determination to Get an Acre and

We believe that the Slums and

the whole power of the nation and
the states exerted for the betterment

Suburban Towns and Villages, where
Trade and Industry can be so tlrmly
anchored that they cannot be drawn

Is now steadily sucking Industry and
Humanity into the Vortex OF the

this Country has an inherent and
Fundamental Right to an Education

This book Is the first Of a Series
that will Chronicle the Progress of the
HOMECROFT MOVEMENT
and inform all who wish to cooperate
with it how they may do so through
the formation of local HOmecrofters'
Circles, Clubs or Gilds to promote
Town and Village Betterment, stimu-
late home civic pride and loyalty to
home institutions, industries and trade,
improve methods and facilities of edu-
cation in the local public schools, and
create new opportunities AT Home"
that will go far to check the drift Of
trade and population to the cities.
The first Gid Of the HomecrOfters
has been established at Watertown,
Massachusetts. The Gildhall, Shops
and Gardens are located at 143 Main
Street, where the Garden School is
now fully organized and over one
hundred children are at work In the
Gardens. The departments for train
ing In Homecraft and Village Indus
tries are being installed. The Viewers
are already at work at the looms.
1t is not designed to build here an
isolated institution. but to make a
model which can be duplicated in any
town or village in the country.

We believe that, as a Nation, we
should be less absorbed with Making

he can gain that knowledge, can learn
how to make home and till the soil
and get his living straight from the

be taught that his first aim in life
should be to get a home of his own
