MAN Is HIS OWN CRITIC
Man is his own severest critic.
The worst indictment of New York
is contained in the New York news
papers.
This is true Of every other city and
town.
Also of every business and profess
sion.
If you want to hear a town damned
go to those who live there and give
them your ear.
If you want to hear the black side
OF any business, spend an evening with
u man who makes his living in il.
Everyone naturally supposes that the
cities ar" far behind the rural districts
in moral. health, thrift, industry, and
all the qualities which we associate
with progressive and hralthful So
ciety.
As matter of fact, the census tells
n different story, showing that in many
II not most respects, the cities are SUI
perior to the country.
The cities, however, advertise their
business more vigorously than the
country and so we get wrong idea.
Mature IN the rough state is not tho
Attractive mistress that we give her
credit for. The country improves un.
der mans hand.
When the city people go to the coun-
try they build better homes, with more
conrcniences and better sanitation than
Is because the city people can afford
Injuries denied the country people, hut
money does not get results unless the
tastes and standards are right.
The cities have their tenements, with
filth and dirt, but have you ever been
in shack in the country where the
livestock gets better attention than the
children? The further YOU get from
the influence of the city the more COM
mon such conditions become.
Take the same class of people who
make our city tenemcnts transplant
them to the country and they will du
plicate the squalor of the city.
ASK any of our soldiers who saw
service in Europe about the sanitary
and moral standards of the average
European peasant and his descriptions
will shock you.
Man isn't made as biy n 6y,,e CO
he has marked I'M against b;n,.oif
His discomfort is n healthy s;gn ond
the germ from which Improvement
must grow. But now and then he can
afford to take creditable inyentory
