In the Worlds Work under the
caption 'The Great Country Life
Movement" We have the following
Circular of Information No. 30" OF
the University of Wisconsin's Agricul
tural Experiment Station is about "a
method Of making social survey OF
rural community" A social survey
it explains, is an attempt to pho
.ograph the community so as to show
every home in all its social connec-
tions with all other homes"
Such photograph reveals. all the
lines of strong, healthy specialization
and discloses the spots and lines Of
feeble association"
You are told how to take a social
census and to make social maps
Among such social maps are those
showing the newspapers and maya
zines read, the community events,
| homes with and without children, and
hired help. In a few communities
thus studied, the maps show to
What extent the country homes and
the village homes have common
social life.
Such commingling takes place will
the best of country homes. Few
tenant homes on these maps take
part in community activities. The
maps show few isolated neighbor-
hoods neglected, overlooked, or in
different to social life
1t was found, too, that nearly all
tie "socialized" homes are on the
main reads. Back roads and bad
roads meant social backwardness.
Studies like this are the beginnings
OF real science of country organiza-
ton, and they emphasize the fact
that isolation is the mother of stag
nation.
1T is not in the United States only
that good tillers of the soil are sought.
The state of Victoria, Australia, ar
ranged cheap land-seekers excur-
sion at low rates and energetically
solicited emigrants from every part
of cur country. The cost of a re-
turn trip from San Francisc ranged
from 1854 to $500. The state has
otIdlcl Ct all the water and has
spent SIG 100000 on irrigation works;
1t owns large tracts of irrigable
land which 1T sells for a cash pay
meIt CT 3 per cent and payment
OF o per cent year for 3l1a years
which win complete the purchase.
When the excursionists reach Mel
bourne, state agent will take them
on state railways to examine these
lands, offered by the state on these
easy terms.
About French Revolutions and
Such Things"
The Chairman of the greatest cor
poration in the United States, Mr..
Gary of the Steel Corporation, made
speech before a dinner in New
York little time ago in the course
of which he said;
i say to you that things are being
said and printed similar to the incen-
diary speeches which aroused the
peasants of France and caused the
French Revolution. Unless some
ting is dele, the spark will burst
into flame. / am not asking for
sympathy, nor have | hoisted a flag
of distress. | suppose it is only fair
to say that, perhaps, we men of
great influence have not always done
exactly right. l think it would be
letter ii We sought to remedy some
of the ills of the body polite, and
instead OF taking offense, seek to
benefit by criticism, however unjust
Unless the capitalists the corpora
lioIs, the wealth of this country
JAKE the first step in this direction,
and assume a leading position in the
Iitlt to remedy evils, that action
Will be taken out of our hands by the
mob. My counsel to the big interests
Of the country is to deal squarely
with their employees" {
