“Rod made the country and man
made the town," is only another way
of recognizing Ihe fundamental charac
ter of country life in our civilization,

sihle without city life, as compared
with city life. In some countries, like
Russia, ninety |ht cent of the |Hiptila
lion live in the country: but city life is
im|Missilile without country life as its
foundation. This fact gives Ihe work
of the President's Commission oil
Country l.ife a very real interest to the
dwellers in towns, as well as to those
who live in ihe country.—(Jitt'ord Pin
