THE DRIFT CITYWARD

The new census seems to show
in an even greater degree thar
previous ones that the drift o1
population is toward the large
centers, rather than toward the
small communities and the
farms.
Fifty years ago we were an
agricultural country, more than
half the people living either on
farms or in the small towns. To-
day merely sixty per cent live
in the large cities, leaving but
forty per cent for rural popula-
tion. The reasons for this are
many, vet probably much lies in
the effects of education in our
schools. Who does not remem-
ber that the hero Of most of the
stories we read in our school
books was a boy, born on d
farm, who went to the city and
made made success? ali the
thoughts Of the young were
pointed cityward, and now we
are reaping the natural fruits.
1t is time to set out the bene-
fits of the country as a place Of
residence; the greater freedom,
the pleasanter surroundings,
the pure air, the communion
with nature, the fresh fruits
and vegetables and other ad-
vantages too numerous to re-
count in one article.
The young man or woman
who keeps close to Mother Ma
ture is going to get more out Of
life than his city cousin.
