PAGE 11 Seventh Subdivision of ALDERWOOD MANOR— greatest single development of its kind; fastest The SPIRIT of ALDERWOOD MANOR Reprinted by Request) O MAKE the city Rural and Country Urban—this ts the next great step in civilization. In other words, the advantages of both city and country must be nicely blended into a New Life of the Land within reach of the masses of men and satisfying to all thelr needs, social and intellectual as well economic. THE NEW SCIENCE In response to the world's great need, the New Science of Living from a Little Land has grown up during the past few years, beginning in California and spreading widely throughout the United States. Tt is based upon the small landholding near the populous center, on that our “little lander” is of the city, though not tn the city, except when he cares to be. Often he goes back and forth on week days, thus retaining his hold upon the pay roll, at least until well established in his own self- sufficient home. ‘The first principle in the economic ts “Feed yourself.” To this end a generous table is deliberately planned, often far in advance, even to the working out of the detailed bill-of-fare. This ts followed by a scheme of ordered production, greatly assisted by the Planting Table, showing Just what and how and when to plant to meet this Living Program. It is amazing how well a family may live on these terms. A recent writer in the Los Angeles Times says: “The acre-culturist is not taught to lve on less. He is taught that the human anima} is entitled to the best on eerth, and you can take the menu program for the past year from twenty of the most affluent homes in Los Angeles and find nothing but what ts duplicated or served better in the Acre-Garden homes in Southern California.” Having made sure of the generous living, in a hame of his own, where the landlord never asks for the rent, the New Man of the Land concen- trates upon one or two specialties for cash income. Given favorable physical conditions and good instruction, any man can become expert in one or two lines of production, and it is better to know one thing well than to know a dozen things indifferently, The actentific product of this new way of using the land ts a sure and comfortable living with a reasonable competence for old age—a result that rightfully belongs to every man who does his share of the world's work. THE SOCIAL HEARTHSTONE Bread and butter constitute a vital part of a living, but by no means the whole of life. The hungry heart must be fed. Man is a social animal and during the past few decades his town-dwelling Instinct has been developed to the highest point. There can be no great expansion upon the sail ex- cept upon terms which satisfy this craving for human association, even of organized lety. The New Life of the Land meets this need fust as perfectly as ft meets the need of three square meals a day and of provision for the future. Our “little lander” ‘does not sacrifice the advantages which civilization has massed in the great city, but in his own suburban community has aN the facilities for a charming and satisfying soctal, intedietopal and spiritual experience. The Club House supplies his social hearthstone, Just as his own chimney. corner supplies his family hearthstone. The Victrola and the moving pictures bring him the best of muste and the drama. The Library opens the whole world of thought to his mind. He has his Town Meeting with discussion of Current Events, his church, his school, his dance and every form of wholesome diversion. In fact, his life is whole, and {t fs based on the solid rock of economic security, which neither War nor Hard Times can shake from {ts position on the Solid SEATTLE’S SHARE IN THE “NEW LIFE OF E LAND” « broad-minded men _ gocial vision, In Seattle who have been life, bufld~ ng cash Income. nsoys '@. prec or an ultimate compete you in getting a Hom ye THE MoctAT CENTER A comfortable and commodious building has been provided in advance to serve as an educational and a yclal center, and these eit extended to meet the growth 6 commu unity This wolema tive, ‘building for all sagces § and Santis nurpe nifwe pment ax well as in realising the ideals of the movement.
