Guide to Progress.

The present day movement for the
enrichment of rural life has found
one of its most practical aids in what
is known as the social survey; that Is,
a detailed and systematic inquiry into
those facts and conditions which per
tain to the interests of a country dis
trict and which may be changed or
utilized for the community's prog
ress.
1t is doubtful that the average citl-
zen in most counties has any very DEF

or to act efficiently with his neighbors

thories, but relatively few practical
achievements.
A social survey gathers complete
and authentic information on schools

Building Up Dairy Herd.

attention to the raising of calves. one
can start with common grade cattle
and in a few years time build up a

He does not raise his calves, but de-
pends upon buying cows to replenish
his herd. Such a practice will never
result in increasing the standard OF
