I hope these studies will startle and impress all who have to do with the betterment of rural life in the United States. If American farmers have made a huge mistake in settling on the land in the way they have, what can they do about it? If it is out of the question for them to quit their present homes, barns and orchards and create rural vil lages, what shall they do in order to escape the isolation and loneliness which they experience? Have we in auto mobiles and good roads means of devising substitutes for the intimacy and neighborliness of the European village? Or shall we preach that there is no way of social salvation for our country dwellers save concentrating their dwelling in a country village?
