during the decade closing in 1910, the
populatlAl of this country increased
q per lO0ht and the increase in agri-
cultura VSproducts was only 10 per
cent fnis is worthy of our closest
attention.
The villages and towns are the trad
ing centers of these rural communities
and responsible for the distribution
of the products of the soil out to the
world And thus there is an added
responsibility both to the man who
produces and the man who distributes
the products of the soil to the world
market.
Therefore, We want the best homes,
the best churches and the best schools
in these great rural communities of
ours-first, that when our children go
to the city we shall have laid foun-
dation in the lives of these young men
and young women in such way that
when they do go to the city they will
be able to withstand not only the temp
tations of the city, but become con
structive factors in building the city's
civilization.
Second, we must have the best
church and the best school in these
rural districts for the sake Of the coun-
try community
Now the question that arises in your
minds is: Can these conditions be inn
proved? Can we build a great rural
civilization? Can the decline that is
come be regained and we go
on to greater and greater things?
Many times when | go into commu-
mites men take me in their autos or
walk me about the community to show
me magnificent schools, a splendid |
church or their beautiful library. !
These are wonderful in their way, but
| prefer to be shown the products of
these Institutions. The question is
not what kind of building do you
possess, but what are the products of
hat institution?

w. Soloman, defended by Judge E.
Hamilton, got off with. fine of $3.50
when found guilty by the jury yester-

wonder IL you know that during
the last decade the conditions in the
rural communities, in the home, the
church and the school have been eo-
ing from bad to worse.
wonder If you know that during
the last five years, closing with the
first of January, 1915, that there have
been 1882 rural churches closed
their doors ana ceased to be. youjd
not be fair to you nor fair to myself If
] we're to tell you that all Of these
churches should have continued to ex-
ist- Many of them never have heen
born. Others that are now in exist
ence should cease to exist. because
they were builded, not that thoy might
minister to the community, but that
they might minister to a small group
Of people, or To further certain dogma
or doctrines or creeds, and never
were community builders.
Church Should be Builder.
Any church that is not a community
builder In the broadest sense has no
right to exist in this great nation of
ours. And SO with the death of more
than 10000 churches and the declin-
ing rural school conditions, also the
distressing conditions in the rural
homes, it is high time we were having
conferences like this and looking each
other in the eye, and speaking fairly
and squarely, straight from the shoul-
der, in a discussion of these problems
and see il a solution cannot be found.
The country school has been going
backward. There are exceptions, how
ever, to the general condition. There
are schools that are advancing and de-
velopng. There are schools that are
putting in equipment.
There are places where the rural
nome is going forward-and there is
a tendency upward in many communi-
ties, but despite all Of this, the condi-
tions are most discouraging and even
disheartening.
The foundation of rural civilization
is the home the church and the school.
Country Boys Make Cities.
First, we want the best home, the |
best church and the best school for
the sake Of the city. Turn to the sta
tistics Of the United States depart
ment OF census and you discover that
eighty-five out of every one hundred |
leaders have come from the great ru-
raj districts. In speaking of leadership
! am not speaking of any particular
group, but from commerce, and manu-
facture and transportation, science and
art and profession, eighty-five out of
every hundred readers have come from
the great rural districts,
Then, for the sake of the city, for
the sake of its leadership, let us have
the best church, the best school and
the best home.
For some reason or other the city
creates a toxic poison that keeps men
rom becoming great leaders.
Then for the sake of the city, the
sity with its misery. it's woe, its degre-
lation and its sin, the city with it's
light, its power its opportunity, let us
AVE the best church and the best
chool.

Land Needs coaxine.


The second reason is for the sake Of
the country. In saying that am say
ing nothing derogatory of those who
have already labored and served and
loved in these great rural districts
AS travel from state to state and see
what has already been accomplished,
stand amazed at the wonderful
things that have been done. Despite
all that has been done in the days
past and gone, however, it is going to
take the greater man and the greater
woman to carry on the work of the
great rural districts in the future
In the olden days land vas cheap.
II one bit of land was worn out it was
easy to move to another and thus our
forefathers wandered from place to
place, until finally the tide of emigra-
tion was turned backward and we are
being compelled to improve the lands
that have already been gone over.
II IS going to take a greater man in
the great rural districts tomorrow
to farm than il took in the days gone
by. The farmer Of tomorrow must un-
derstand the soil; he must understand
crops and crop rotation; he must I'M
derstand the great problems agricul-
ture that have been discussed here at

Rural Civilization Complete.
Rural civilization is becoming more
and more complete. Not only must
we increase our production that the
world may be fed. but we must devise
the means Of marketing this product
Today we have 100,oo0oO0 people. In
the tomopows we will have a thous-
and million. and that thousand million
people must be fed--and you people
in these great rural communities are
to feed the world or to see it starve
and the rural village merchant is to be
the distributor.

how he saw the negroes moving, and
how when the little children did not

would say, "Fo' de Lord sake, you
chillun come right long quick! If dem

when the Confederates came it was
