Excerpt from The Survey-Idea in Country-Life Work, 1911 It is commonly understood that there is a positive national problem lying in the present condition of country life. Rural affairs are not sufficiently represented in the voice of the people. The domination of national policies lies with the cities or with the types of associate and corporate interests that center chiefly in the cities, and which tend to exploit or at least to overlook the open country. Many processes are suggested for the general regeneration of rural affairs. Each of these processes has its strong advocates. The tendency is to project many separate processes or methods which, although they may all be excellent in themselves, tend to separate into divergent and unrelated lines of effort. We are not to hold that any one way of attacking the rural problem is fundamental and that others are unimportant. Perhaps every method that has been suggested is essential. But whatever the means and movements, the scientific method must prevail. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
