main perfectly still when the whole

AMERICAN TOWN AS A STUDY
Subject Well Worth the Little Time
and Consideration That Il
Calls For.

A young writer in the Atlantic
Monthly, Randolph s Bourne. starts
a line OF inquiry that ought to be fol-
lowed up. He chooses a suburban
town, striving to retain its soul
against the adjacent city's onslaughts,
and in that. we think, he follows Op-
portunity rather than judgment Su-
burbs are not very representative. He
also. we think, negleets some Of the
most vital features Of the life OF Amer
lean towns. He has probably worked
in some seminary subject TO German
influence. But his idea is good one.
Millions Of Americans live in towns
of one sort or another, and a compe-
tent account OF the life Of the various
sorts Of American towns. done with
sympathy and Imagination, would
show US a lot about ourselves. It
would have economic values, II would
make many of us understand better
" hat We care about. and how We ara
daily occupied, aud how much better
we and our neighbors might be doing.
IL would give dehuteness TO latent
public spirit. Il would help quite ap-
preciably in the present vigorous but
unguided endeavor Of Americans 10
