health are Indispensable to the proper
progress of the rural districts. To-

UNNECESSARILY nearer that ideal exis-

city dweller dreams. Good schools
with improved roads leading to them,
and with sanitary conditions in school
and in home, will make better farming
and happier living and greater pros
perity.
