Excerpt from Rural Life The omission of bibliographical references has been de liberate, though confessedly experimental. The purpose of the writer has been to instigate observation of local conditions, study of one's community, and action, confident, self-reliant action. One voice calling the rural mind to use its own powers of discernment upon its own social problems will not erect, the writer believes, a false educational ideal, deflecting students from the wider experience of mankind. For illustrative purposes the writer has chosen to use, in the main, his own amateur photographs in order to make sure of authentic representations.

Excerpt from Community Civics and Rural Life Let youth help shape the world while the vision splendid is still before its eyes. - Jerome K. Jerome. A year ago the author published his Community Civics and Rural Life, in the Introduction to which it was stated that: "Training for citizenship in a democracy is a fundamentally identical process in all communities, whether urban or rural. But if it really functions in the life of the citizen, this process must consist largely in deriving educational values from the actual civic situations in which he normally finds himself. Moreover, instruction that relates to matters that lie beyond immediate experience must nevertheless be interpreted in terms of that experience if it is really to have meaning. At least half of the young citizens of America live in an environment that is essentially rural. Hence their need for civics instruction that takes its point of departure in, and refers back to, a body of experience that differs in many ways from that of the urban citizen." The present book is fundamentally the same book as Community Civics and Rural Life; but, being prepared tor the use of pupils whose experience is urban, it presents, in accordance with the principle stated in the foregoing paragraph, certain essential differences. The controlling ideas around which all the subject matter of both books is organized are: 1. The common purposes in our community life; 2. Our interdependence in attaining these common purposes; 3. The consequent necessity for cooperation; and, 4. Government as an agency by which to secure cooperation in attaining common ends. Team work through government for the achievement of common purposes may be said to be the motif that runs prominently through the entire text. A few of the chapters in the present book stand practically as written for the rural book, with only slight revision: as, for example, the opening chapter, the chapters on "Our National Community" and "A World Community" (VII and VIII), and the concluding chapters on governmental organization (except for the addition of a chapter on "Our City Government").

Excerpt from The Century Rural Life Books: The Suburban Trend Of any sociology which this book may contain, much the greater part has been drawn from the author's experience. No one who, for years, has shuttled daily back and forth between suburb and city can have escaped the frequent necessity of formulating his apologia for suburban life. One covers a matter of a quarter of a million miles of distance in about twenty years of fairly average commuting. It is not too much to estimate that at least once for every two hundred miles the commuter has been challenged to defend his faith. Some of these occasions arise incidentally out of friendly exchanges between fellow-commuters. Here is the questioning brother who is doubtful whether or not to give it up and move back to the city; here, on the other hand, the rampant assurance of the neighbor whose zeal for suburban life is still more assertive and robust than one's own. Challenges of another sort come from the commiserations or pleasantries of city dwellers, who keep on contrasting their own happier lots, in season and out. All told, the confirmed suburbanite is virtually compelled to develop a sort of social philosophy about which his numerous observations tend to organize themselves. Enough commuting anecdotes have fastened upon the Erie Railroad alone to supply the essence of quite a respectable suburban sociology. It is in such informal materials that the book has its origins.

Excerpt from The Problem of Rural Life in the United States In this pronouncement we have in the minimum of words'the maximum of constructive suggestion. In the near background we see the picture of country life in its untutored, undisciplined and, consequently, unavailing competition With the modern town. In the foreground we see, through the application to the country of the methods to which the town owes its progress, the dawn of better things. But the central fact of these utterances I desire to emphasise is that, in the mind of the President, the situation to which he is calling public attention is clearly one of which the Department of Agriculture holds the key.
