YOUR INITIALS HERE ate 48 such cities, 19 of them having 200,000 or more inhabitants, Ten yours ago about one-sixth of us lived in cities of 100,000 or moro; to-day about one fifth of us live in such cities True, within the past ten years practicaly all the large cites have been annexing rural and semi-rural suburbs pemeeeeeeeeeee® that remain “amall town’ and “coun- wid OTTERS " try’ in fact, But making every possible ENGR allowance for this, it still remains true beeet-eeemeenmoes that the big cities are absorbing more and more of the population of the country, Is this good or bad? There js much to be daid in favor of the big city, It sharpens the wits, It stimulates the brain, it creates and diffuses refinement and culture, it offers vant facilities,‘for education, for comfort, for highly civilized life But je there not a heavier score on the other side? Do not evils breed more rapidly there? Is not the power of public opinion, that most potent of factors for making men and women behave themselves and keep morally and mene tally up to the mark, much feebler there? Are not the amenities of Hfe, the intimate and friendly intercourse that promote kindliness, generosity, sympathy, affection, prac- tised with more difficulty? Do these big cities not tend to isolate each Individual, to increase his selfishness, to breed cynicism, indifference, cold-heartedness? Do they not tend to destroy public spimt and to make the citizen more timid, more subservient, leas manty and independent in thought? Do they not promote fantastic luxury, silly and enervating BIGHTH ing a bite? RIALTO BY them things THE vein show?

If you had your choice as to where you would bring up your children-not where you would live now that you have become wedded to big city life, but where your chil- dren would be best off-what would you say? Wouldn't it be the town of moderate size-the town where city and country meet, where there are all the com- forts and refinements and valuable luxuries of the city and also grass and trees and the fields and roads at hand? In the small city or small town the amusements are healthful, not feverish; the social intercourse is intimate and democratic, not distant and more or lese aristocratic in spirit; the family, the home, the instincts of friendship, af- fection and love have a batter chance. IL is not'good for the Republic, it fs not promotive of the veal happiness of the people or of the welfare of the chil- dren, that these huge cities are absorbing the population, And the fact that the qrowth of the big cities has been less rapid in the last ten years than inthe aec- ade 1880-1890 is distinctly encouraging If the trolley car and the rapid-transit systems do the| | beneficent work that is expected of them, the next ten years may find the slackened oltyward tide turning, Certainly Wwe ought to hope that this will be so, The huge city is not the place to train the rising genera- Hons of the Republic, Pixciied Mar Dear Mro.
