America and Some Of Its UnsOVed Problems

unflagging industry and trained intelll-
gence, with a modicum of capital.
American farmers probably average
higher in native intelligence than the
farmers of any other part of the world
the main handicap to successful farming
is the meager training the ordinary coun-
try school affords for the development of
that intelligence. Testimony is unani-
nous as to the deplorable condition of
most of our country schools. That this
condition is one that can be remedied
without resort either to State or national
paternalism and without increased ex-
pense to the taxpayers has been demon
strated beyond cavil in the rural school
at Porter, Missouri, the story of which is
told by Miss Evelyn Dewey, daughter of
Prof. John Dewey of Columbia, in NeU
Schools for Old
Mrs. Marie Turner Harvey went to
Porter as teacher of the district school
She found the school. IN its physical con-
dition, the morale of the pupils and of the
community and its academic standards
Just about as bad as any one could imagine
an institution to be and still call itself a
school. 1t was typical of the 10000 rural
schools in Missouri, the 100000 one room
country schools in the United States.
The story of the regeneration of the
Porter school, and through the school the
regeneration of the whole district and the
establishment of a new and fine cOmmun-
ity spirit is one of those rare recitals of
fact that read like romance. Given the
conditions as they were and the result
Mrs. Harvey actually achieved as goal
to be reached, it would be a brave prophet
who would even admit that it could be
done. 1t was done. 1t can be done any
where that man or woman with the
courage, the ability and the common sense
of Mrs. Harvey will undertake it.

Nor is the farmer the only American
class in which the community spirit needs
to be aroused if its members are to ap-
preciate fully their place in the general
scheme and their true relation to the re-
mainder of the population. The little
town, the country village to which the
farmer comes to trade and which, in turn,
trades with the bigger city, has place
and function all its own, and multi
plicity of problems that have been largely
overlooked in the discussion of both urban
and rural questions. The little town is
neither city nor country. At the Uni
versity of Wisconsin the social students
have coined the word "rurban" TO describe
this community link between the farmer
and the ultimate market for his product,
so Harlan Paul Douglass tells us in his
book, The Little Totsn
The trouble with the little town is that
it apes the manners of the city, looks down
upon the farmer upon whom its very
existence depends and yet has no civic
pride of its own. Its young folk grow up
contemptuous of their environment and

being satisfied with things as they are,
of bringing out for public discussion our
own faults and failings and calling upon
our fellow citizens to rally to the rescue
that has brought America to the position
it now occupies which, whatever our
weaknesses, is nevertheless more enviable
than that of any other country in the
world. Why this is so is the main theme
of an interesting, comprehensive yet con-
else and lucid little volume by Prof. Ed
ward Alsworth Ross of the University of
Wisconsin entitled, What Is America?
The sun., 1919-08-24
".

True, there are successful farmers,
many of them; that they are the exeep-
tons merely proves that the majority are
not awake to the possibilities of their
craft. John R. Mcmahon was commits
stoned by an agricultural journal of ma
tional circulation to find the best farmer
in each State and write the story of his
success. Sixteen of these stories are
included in his book, HoU These Farm
ers Succeeded. The territory covered
stretches from Maine to Oklahoma; the
farms described range from w. j. Burtis's
100 Kansas acres that he farms ''top
and bottom" and causes to yield fifty
bushels of wheat to the acre, to the Whit
ing family's almost baronial estate of
1900 acres in Iowa.
We think of tractors and power oper-
ated farms as being peculiarly Western;
here is Arthur H. Sagendorph operating
1000 rocky Massachusetts hillside acres
entirely by machinery. We are told the
fertility of Eastern farm lands has van
ished; Jared Van Wagenen earns big
income from New York State farm that
his family has titled for 119 years!
After reading of these and the others in
the book one is convinced that successful
farming is possible anywhere, the only
requirements being the combination of

Prof. Ross knows his America; he

ing the world and being student of his
tory as well as professor of sociology he
sees In this country and its constant de-
the sort Of democracy that must eventu-
ally save the world from at least the chief
of the evils that now beset it. 1t would
be difficult to name single book that
would serve better to introduce the newly
arrived immigrant to the institutions and
spirit of the United States, one that could
be read with more interest and profit by
the American with ten generations of
Yankee ancestors behind them.
Having absorbed Prof. Ross's lucid ex-
position of the American spirit and its
achievements thus far, one may approach
with justifiable optimism the discussion
of the basic problem at the moment I'M
solved, that of the betterment of agricul-
tural conditions, as set forth by the
president of the Massachusetts Agrieul-
tural College, DR.. Kenyon L. Butterfeld,
in The Farmer and the NeW Day. Not
that DIR. Butterfield himself is in the least
pessimistic, but one cannot read his book
without gaining new and rather stag
gering impression of the magnitude and
complexity of the whole farm problem as
this amply qualified expert sees it.
The great majority of American
farmers are not to-day securing from
their labor a reward which they consider
fair to themselves or which students of
social science consider satisfactory from
the standpoint of minimum requirements
for a decent living, says DIR. Butterfeld
The farmer is not betting his share of the
consumers dollar; tenant farming with a
host of evils in its train is on the in
crease; worst of all, with the retirement
of the old time farmer and the incoming
of the new tenant type, such fundamental
institutions as the rural school and the
rural church are becoming less efficient
than formerly in many parts of the
country.
The war has given many farmers a new
point of view. In hundreds of commu-
mites and in MS many different ways
movements for the restoration of farm
ing to the dignity of profession and the
organization of farmers into efficient
cooperative units are under way. Some
what of these and of the plans that wise
leaders of agriculture believe will further
advance the interests of the farmer and
of the nation are told in this book, the
main theme and purpose of which is to
voice the need of a national agricultural
policy, defined and adhered to, if our
land is to continue to feed our people
with the products of our own soil.

TO find the Perfect State? In the eitiesl
Not so, if one is to believe the array of
more or less famous students of municipal
government who have elaborated with
Edward A. Fitzpatrick IN the writing Of
Experts an City Government; the expert
in almost every line of human activity is
still all too little consulted by municipal
arrangements, all of these agree. We
would have better governed, more hvable
cities if they were. This utilization of ex-
pert assistance to the limit is one of the
five cardinal points for which the National
Municipal League is working, as described
by its secretary, Clinton Rogers Wood
ruff, in A NeW Municipal Program. Abb
sOlute local elf-government, safeguard
ing of the city's public property rights in
land, removal of all barriers to the ex-
preston of the popular will and the plac-
ing and fixing of official responsibility are
the other four. How these may best be
achieved, and how they have been achieved
in many cities make up valuable refer
enee treatise for students of public affairs.
After reading of our national short
comings as already outlined, one wonders
whether the title of Democracy in Recon-
StructiOH ought not to read The Recon-
strHction Of Democracy. Its authors,
DIR. Joseph Schafer and Frederick A.
Cleveland, do not think so, however. They
share Prof. ROss's faith in America and
American institutions, and while their
bulky volume lists an imposing array Of
deficiencies in our social structure and
organization, all are in fields in which
much earnest, intelligent remedial work
is already being done

mas entertainments at the closing of
the schools. was the one given at the
