Whether or not the tht'igcr is so great at alleged wo nerd not Inquire; ono thing is certain, thnt tho wclfaro of rural com munities is no mcro olTalr of those coni, munition alone, but Is important to the cntlro republic. For lis contlnunnco and strength thn whole nation requires that tho rural classei should thrive. As lliote classes are, so Is the ttnte. A vigorous country population Is neces sary In order to the highest physical hraltn throughout the total body of cltlietis, U Is equally necessary to the Ilnest avcrngn character and Integrity of the whole people, and nlso for tho richest development ot common Bcnse, sincerity, larco views and patriotism. Theso qunlltlcs nprlng from Mother Earth." They are found In clUe. of course, but usually because they nro brought there. The- strongest Instances of them nro not Indigenous ln towns. It la generally recognized thnt town life would soon grow pnlo nnd sickly, ns well In moral ns lu physical rcgurds, but for In cessant importation of blood ami chnrac'tcr from tho country. It Is n Jiinttea of com mon knowledge that nearly all the men nnd women In tho most commanding po sitions In society, business, llternturo nnd llfo were bom nnd reared In tho couutr. Over and ahovo tho preceding consider- lions, which npply to other countries as well us our own, there is a special reason for conserving and strengthening rural in terests here In tho United States. Europe wan i,cttled mainly under military motive, so that nil over Europe tho great land owner Is even today a more slgnlflraut person than the great totwiBinnn, manu facturer or banker. Socially, landowning counts tlicro more than citlth lu other form, Tho blooded aristocracies of Euro pean lands all stnud in some sort of con nection with tho proprietorship ot land. H Is easy to uco that lu the countrlos named there is nn Immense influence othor than that of wealth operating Hgalnst that of mere wealth. Iu the United States, un fortunately, we as yet possess no such coun terpoise against the dead weight of mam mon. We need to rnlse up such; ntid tho only nfiparcnt way, at least the best way, apparently, to accomplish that result Is lo cultlvato rural Interests, Build up 11 in! keep up a country population both worthy and ablo to determine our national char acter. How ran such a country population In tho United Stntes bu reared? How can the lnndcd Interest be put In a condition to bo felt ns a solid factor In American civiliza tion, always to he reckoned with, opposing In every appropriate way the rule of bruto mammon nnd tho sway of thoso decadent and effclo elements always so active lu great municipalities? How can wo estab lish country llfo nnd character so that it shall be n bcncllccnt safety vnlve, fly-wheel or governor to our vnst social machine? First Good legislation Is called for di rected not to thn financial profit of tho fanning class, which would bo class legis lation and theroforo wrong, but calculated In a largo and enlightened manner to ren der stronger, hnpplor and morn cheerful tho peoplo who llvo out upon tho land and furnish the bono and sinew, nlso In great part tho brain nnd character of tho Amer ican people. Laws In this spirit would not deserve condemnation as class legislation. Their fundamental aim would not be tho welfare of a class. They would not have In view the good of tho country for Its own sake, but country prosperity for tho eako of tho cntlro nation, tho Idea bolng thnt tho character, morality, ability and con sequently safety of tho nation would lm mcncely sink should tho country popula tion fall to tho level of serfs or peasants, Second Perrect roads. Tho advantages to rural districts from this source would bo Incalculable. Tho tlmo Is coming when In all well-populated sections travel will bo bo Rwlft nnd comfortable and tho entire pop ulation (f n country can, daytime or even ing, gnthur at tho center as easily as such a crowd can now form ln nny city, when county centers will have churches, lniiBto halls, opera houses, schools' and all simi lar agencies of culture ns good as thero nre In tho world, Third Free rural delivery of malls will ccmo Immediately after roads are made good, so thut newspapers nnd othor Intelli gence by mall will not only speed ncrosn tho country nt tho most rapid rnto so far as railways extend, lint reach destination from pontofflccs with equal expedition. Fourth Country high schools. Efforts for tho establishment of theso have beon making for a number ot years In thin state. Tho need Is n pressing one. Those Inter ested in tho cause aro In earnest nnd may bo counted upon to continue agitation until every boy and girl ln tho country porta of the stato can obtain first-rate school preparation for the university or for llfo without tuition cost nnd without being obliged to leave home. Fifth Vastly Improved primary and grammar as well as high cchools. When rapid and eany travel over country roads Is tho rule schools will be concentrated nt county nnd township centers so thnt grading can bn mado much raoro comploto than now. A higher order of teaching tal ent will also bo employed. Far hoyond this In Importance grading and admlnln tratloa being cqunlly good country schools can bo mado Immensely moro Instructive nnd inspiring than city schools. Nature, tho central object of attention ln modern schooling, city pupils can npproach only with travol and expense, hut It lies In all Its departments open and ready for In spection under tho eyes of country pupils without money and without price. Sixth Tho encouragement of all who can to build and llvo In tho country, ovon If a part of their llfo must ho ln tho city. Tho nbovo Improvements will go far to produce this encouragement. A reflux of popula tion from city to country will certainly oc cur whop country roads are perfect, mall facilities gmatly bettered, schools, con certs, churches and other means of culture aB good In thn country nn in tho city, and so on. But aside from theso considera tions there ought to he a richer, deeper and moro general appreciation ot the coun try thnn now exists, Tho country Is beau tiful, healthful and evcrywlso' desirable on Its own account. If peoplo think otherwise or do not think on tho subject at all It la due to their lack of culture. They Ig noro tho works of God, ns stupid poopls might walk through thn Lotivro and not think of tho matchless art creations upon the right -hand nnd tho left. Tho subject, the glory of tho country, ought to be taught, written up and preached upon until en thusiasm for country living becomes deep ami general. Sevunth Farmers thnmr.olvps can assist to strengthen nad enrich country life by doing farm work in a moro systematic manner than iv now usual. Too much farming goes by mere routlno nnd tradi tion without tho slightest application of scientific pr'nclple. How fow fanncra, for Instance, keep books so as to know what profit accrues from si'ch ami such an ani mal, herd, crop or parcel of laud? This inethtidless and tinlntclllgont farming Is re sponsible for much of tho disposition shown by your hoys and girls io rush to tho city. Young people with Intelligence wish to cultlvato their minds and nro determined to do this. Tho farming which thoy havfl known doesn't ply thorn with that motive. Farming might bo so carried oi that young people's mental faculties and senso of art would bo addresHcd by It far tnoro thnn ?an t,n donn by city occupations.
