Exeter, Who Saw It Carried to it Lydia L
Completion -- Startling Statistics
Indicate a Serious Situation in I
Rural Communities
From Farm and I.airy
Huron county has started in earnest
to grapple with its rural problem.
This problem has been long with us.
We have known in a general way for
many years that the rural poputatloo
of old Ontario is decrea.iug. The
Dominion eenaus of 1911 gave us de-
finite, information that :ouftnued our
worst tsar'. The crnaus statistics
showed that the rural districts rat On•
twin bad lost over 11(1,155) souls in the
previous 10 years. Far ' g popula-
tions in the other eastern province.
fared little better. Thoer who h Id
remained unease optimistic were as-
touneetl to find that the rural popu-
lation of Ontario was less than it had
been ill years previously; and Huron
county suffered worse thau most des-
Lricts of Eastern Canada.
Even the census, however, did not
give us full information on the rural
problem. It dealt only with u,ove-
nlentu of population. How has this
decrease affected the rural school and
the rural church and Monday school?
Before we ran deal effectively with
the rural probletu we must under-
stand all of its ramification'. It was
to get this definite information that
the Huron County Rural Survey was
made, the tint of the kind ever con-
ducted in Canada.
Behind Lavery new movement there
is a leader. In the case 'f the Huron
survey it was the Rev. M. F. Sbarn,
Presbyterian minister of Ezetei, who
evolved the idea and saw it cackled to
completion. A couple of ' year' ago
Mr. Sharp attended a summer course
ar Aubnrr, N. Y., where the problems
if the rural church were discussed 1 y
Dr. Warren H. Nilson. Ur. Wilson
had cocductrd several surveys in
various parts of the United States, and
the information that be had obtained
thereby impressed Dir. Sharp as being
distinctly valuable, Why not have a
rural survey in my own county. he
asked himself.
'One year ago last May the subject
was 'totioduced at the Presbyterian
Church Conference. Mr. Shall) in-
duced that body to discuss rural
sociology. He then suggested • rural
survey which was ultimately conduct-
ed under the joint anspires of the
Presbyterian and Methodist churches
of Uanada through their joint loornhs
.of Social Service and Evangelism.
An organization foe conducting the
survey was, folioed at t'linton last
December with Ids. 8hirp as secte-
tary-trewourer-
This was not a quick. cer-windnw
survey. Mr. Sharp, assisted by Dr.
Riddle and the ministers of the coun-
ty, went ail through the country dis-
tricts inquiring into conditions every-
where, and getting 'ogetber statistics
which were finally worked into an
intelligible form by Dr. Myers. an ex-
pert on sociological problems and con-
nected with OW Joint Boutda of Social
Service and Evangelism. Having got-
ten their (acts together, thtee meet-
ings were called throughout the coun-
ty, at Exeter, Clinton and Auburn, for
the discussion of the information
brought to light and a consideration
of piubposals for solution.
The most far-reaching results will
come as a result of the survey itself.
The facts brought to light challenge at-
tention. Huron cuunty'.p ople were
given a new appreciation of the
seriousness of the situation.
The most outstanding point is the
Lots in population: In 1875, almost ell
Teras ago, the total population of
Huton county was 74,2811. in 1913 it
was 511,311u. a dentine of thirty-two per
cent. Bait this does not tell the whole
'tory. The towns have made a ekght
increase; from 9,257 to 11,511). Hence
the country population has decreased
h om 14,1(11) to i),(al), or forty per cent,
of a loss, This lou of population has
resulted in a serious educational probe
lima Schools that were once full are
now empty. In many canes attend•
ance is not sufficient to justify plying
a teacher a living wage. in 1881. over
thirty years ago, the school Impute -
tion of ?futon county was 21.215. In
Iola it was 1',656, a los.' of forty-eight
and a halt pet- cent. This loss of
scboill population applies to botb vil-
lages and towns. But the most seri-
ous has L in the country district', the
shrinkage being from 16.51si to 8,ele,
or fifty-eight and two-thirds per cent.
Evident) a change is needed if roan•
try people in Huron county are to be
able to gine their children as good an
education as wan possible thirty yeah
ago.
The church nerd utter no &pottery
for the new interest that it is taking
in queetinns that were at one time
supposed to be outside of its sphere.
'O inet,lttuis>.lift•W sseaffected malls'

vey showed that forty nine per cent,
or almost half o1 the rural churches
in Huron county. are stationary.
They have neither Mat nor gained ten
members during the last ten years;
twenty-six and a halt per tent, or
over one-quarter of them. are actually
decreasing, and not a few have ctoeed

LONG-LIVED BIROS
The question of which birds live t:.e
longest has uever been settled sat,s-
tactorlly. But the raven comes very
high in. the Let, and is said to reach
the great age of two hundred year.
Eagles and vultures also enjoy long
lives. Inde. -d, an eagle -owl Is known
to have lived ninety years in captivity.
In thle particular case. the bird be-
gan to lay eggs after, fifty years, and
durin; the last forty years of Its lite
brought up numerous little ohes.
A hundred years :is probably a con-
servatts. estimate or parrot's age.
and 1t is recorded that one of these
birds also stetted luting atter thirty
rears of captivity, ._ t lth. `ardl•ary
lick both the crow and the swan may
reasonably expect a century lite.
It 1s rot by 'any means the largest
birds that enjoy the longest lives.
For instance, the sparrow sometimes
celebrates its fortieth birthday. Oth. r
ages reached by birds are: Hera, 10
years; pheasants and partridges, 13
years; pigeons, 20 years; canaries. 24
years; peacocks, -30 years: and herons,
SO years.

BED SPRINGS
Be FairToYourself
Half the unhappiness in the world could be traced
to the lack of proper rest. If you sleep on a bed
that sags and throws the lines of your body into
unnatural positions, you cannot have the rest you
need. So, the very great importance of the proper
bed on which to take your rest.
The "Hercules" spring bed is the bed which affords
perfect rest. So scientifically woven that while
it is much stronger than the ordinary woven wire
fabrics used in siring beds, and while there's a
springinc•= ; that is the delight of any bed, the
"Hercules" will not sag• •'5 times" stronger,
but "5 tines" more resilient ati1d restful.
