Living costs are lower, though it
has been argued that rural salaries
are also smaller. Not until last year
did government survey reveal the
difference is not so great as often
presumed. The United States bu-

that half the white families in a typi-

Culture of Cities
Probably the most outstanding
examination of city-versus-countr
has been made by Louis Mumford.
a psychologist whose Culture of
Cities" created stir last spring.
Mr.. Mumford says the world S
greatest cities are definitely on the
downward path. Far from being
good and wonderful in proportion to
their size, he says, they are crush
ing rather than serving the millions
within their grasp.
Among his claims:
That medieval towns were more
livable than any man has built since.
That the machine age brought
industrial towns in which even upper
classes lived in slum-like conges-
ton, with houses lacking proper
light and ventilation.
That the metropolis offers "a
ghost-like existence"
That the downward cycle of city
evolution, if unchecked, leads to
overexpansion of industry, question
able speculation and positive de-
preston, followed by grating and
crime that ends in a barbarianism
and an exodus from the city.
