Careful students of economy and I sociology are persaei,ent their de - elevation that the maintenance of country life is necessary to the per- petuity oil the nation. Ti other words, if country life fails the nation's days am numbered. ISirral life, they insist, is the fotintain-spring from which the present civilization received its fresh blood. Strong, vigorous, -capable men and vaolnera are being constantly re- cruited. from the farms to lead the in -dust world,. Their rugged bod- ies, active mirids and sound ideals seem necessary. in the economy of ' great commercial enterprises to lead the decadent urban hosts whose lives I are being burned out in the great maelstrom of activities centting in the cities. But these studious persens are get- ting anxious about the future. They fear that rural life has been drawn upon so heavily that the blue blood is about exhausted and that sooner or later national decay will start., It is well, of course, that every precaution be taken to preserve to the nation this great cradle of 'leadership,. To this end it is of the highest,' signifi- cance that rural life be made not only attractive' but really worth while, that the farm boy and the farm girl may have the opportunity ta pat every talent they possess out to usury in- stead of being obliged to bury them in the ground. However, if our learned economists and sociologists would lake a few days off to visit some of the big, as well as the small fairs, and witness the industry, the spirit of co-opera- tion and the`, accomplishments of our far bays and girls they would cease being concerned a.boni, the preSait and the near future. From every fair, almost, conies reports of what these youngsters a -re doing, and it is evi- dent that unless the older generation gets out and hustles, in but a short while these lads and lassies will be doing the majority of the outstanding things in agriculture. The development of this spirit and leadership ability is due to a com- bination of influences.. Perhaps the most direct institution for their pro- motion is the boys' and girls' club work. Then there are the -better rural schools, more capable teachers, live country churches, -active farmers' clubs and Women's Institutes, all co- operating to lead the junior farmers to enjoy the blessings and the ad- vantages of a full life. Therefore, If the national outlook is dependent upon our rural youth the future is certainly most promising. Five 'human heads must be held as trophies by the man of Formosa who would woo and win a wife. 71fu 7A, akarii 7/GA"sk ' Ti3,E.taSTId-f ui o HEARTBEJ This is a very common trouble, espeel- ally with those who are hearty cateia.
