City Life and Country Living

IN a lecture recently in Boston, Dr. Charles W. Eliot, president emeritus of Harvard University, said, "Boston, New York, and other large cities are becoming so congested that the race can not live normally, and soon there will be a country-wide tendency to degeneracy." "The only remedy," said the doctor, "is to make each large city with wide streets and small gardens about workers' homes, and a better housing of workmen." All these suggestions are very good as far as they go, but better still is the education that leads men and women from the degenerating conditions of the city into the more wholesome and more natural atmosphere of country life.
