FIFTEEN YEARS OF PROGRESS

fllteell years ago f>TeslueHt IHto-
dore Roosevelt was calling atten-
tiOn to the need of rural advance
and appointing his Country Life
Commission. Changes have TAX
en- place since that time. The seat
tered populations found in sparsely
settled territories still constitute a
problem. But the average country
town has shown a remarkable gain
in these years. II has better side
walks, better streets. more neatly
kept houses and stores, usually
some handsome public and business
buildings. and it is thoroughly in
touch with modern progress.
In former years the people OF a
rural community had rustic as
pect. Today the crowd looks much
the same as that on big city street.
The country crowd has keen. in
telligent. thoughtful look, and you
feel they are better folks to i've
with.
The stores are not 50 big in the
country, but they carry the same
standardized and up to date goods
Automobiles crowd the country
centers as into the cities. The
movies show the same films, the
monographs play the same pOpu-
lar airs. Visit the schools. and you
find the children who will carry the
future burdens OF the nation.
There are fewer people in country
towns to do things, and those few
are called on for more work in or
der to develop community life. To
provide scattered populations with
good schools and hard roads. means
either burdensome taxation or else
generous state assistance for many
localities The cities must help gen
erously or fail to get the service
they need from the country.
But country life develops resource
fulness 1t gets people in the habit
Of doing things for themselves, m
stead of sitting back and letting
others do the work This spirit is
revolutionozing rural conditions
Automobiles and telephones break
the old isolation of remote neieh-
horhoOds.

get anyone to saw their wood but
Just think of the postmasters who
will soon be looking for jobs.
The people are urged to keep
goats. and as this is the only known
means for utilizing tin cans it looks
like a good proposition.
The time draws near when several
million men must write enth,si-
astic Acknowledgements OF em-
broidered collar boxes, hand paint
ed neck-tie holders and other use
less Christmas presents they didn't
want.
Some people send off hundreds Of
miles to buy aticles at mail order
houses. and then they are mad be
cause the local store does not carry
missing parts when the thing breaks
down.
