THE PHYSICAL RETIREMENT OF
THE TOWN THROUGH ORGAN
lied EFFORT.
By Frank Parker stockbridge.

BY Frank Parker Stockbridge.
Copyright, 1912, by Town Develop
ment Company
What do you live in town for?
Did you ever stop to think why so
many people live together in COM
munities and more and more OF them
are becoming jewellers in towns OF
enc size or another?
One OF the reasons. OF course, is So
c!ety. The human animal is greGari'
ous--he likes to mingle width is kind
aad there are more people in the
towns than inthe country places.
But when you come to analyze the
reasons back OF this social instinct
you will find, | believe, that the under
lying reason is that when people live
together in communities they can pro
vide, by community effort, SO many
more OF the physical conveniences and
safeguards than the individual, living
in isolation, can provide for himself.
Whether this is the real reason or
not, there doesn't seem to be any good
excuse for living in town unless the
community is doing for its citizens
the things that each Of them cannot
do for himself.
You know how the free cities Of Ger.
many sprung up? First there was the
castle, where the Baron lived and pro-
yided headquarters and maintenance
for his crew Of fighting men within
its walls. Then the farmers found
that by taking refuge within the walls
they were safe from the raids OF rival
barons. And Of course the artisans

thoroughfares for communication be-
tween the different spots inside the
walls, until at last here was town,

PIE began to exchange ideas, thus
forming public opinion, and finally
this public opinion decided that they
could do very well without any baron,
whereUpon they deposed, or killed,
or otherwise rid themselves OF the
boss, and became free city. There
never would have been any cities at
all If they had stayed Cut on the farms
or continued wandering from place TO
place, for there would never have
been any public opinion.
Now. the reason why we live in
towns to-day are very much like the
reasons why the German cities were
first established.
We need the protection and the con-
veniences that We cannot supply for
ourselves, but which the community
that is, all OF us pulling together
can supply for every one OF us.
Running water in kitchen and bath
room-who but the very wealthy can
have this outside of the town? Sew
ers and gas, electric lights and street
railroads, paved streets and hard side
walks, parks and Fairgrounds, graded
schools, public libraries. hospitals
garbage collections, to say nothing OF
policemen and fire departments
these are the physical conveniences
and safeguards which the community
furnishes or ought to furnish, in re-
turn for the liberty and independence
which We sacrifice when We move to
town.

things. and the best OF their kind, for
