Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Field Day and Play Picnic for Country Children Among all civilized peoples the country boy has prove to be the nation´s most valuable asset. In America he has loomed into startling prominence. It is estimated that upwards of 60 per cent of the men and women mentioned in "Who´s Who" are from the rural districts. Splendid humanity has always been one of the staple products of our farm lands. Further, a contented rural population is essential to the welfare of a nation. A nation develops power in proportion as its people remain in contented prosperity and in large numbers on its farms. Undermine the welfare of the country districts, allow conditions of rural life to be such as to breed discontent, to drive people away; destroy or even seriously injure this great reservoir of manhood, character and patriotism, and you have a social condition far more threatening than would be the arrival of hordes of anarchists. Unfortunately, we are menaced by the very things which we dread. Nearly everywhere the rural districts are being depleted of their population. The situation has become serious.
