improving Village Life.

A writer in the Survey discovers the average village to be a fruitful field for investigation leading to improve ment in administration, health, sanita- tion, social conditions. physical condi- tions and so on. After summing up the various lacks in village life he makes a suggestion for betterment that offers some possible measure of relief. Cannot the state organize its villages" he inquires, stir them into active life, make them keep awake, clean and efficient? Cannot each com monwealth standardize village i'm provement in all particulars-create q village reference bureau if need be? In asmuch as the village is the recruiting station for the city, the earlier the state teaches it's citizens the modern lessons of efficient and enlightened self-government and progressive social action. the easier will be the task when the larger units of government are concerned. And the gain will be that of all the citizens of the state. even those of the entire nation"
