Excerpt from Our Neighborhood: Good Citizenship in Rural Communities While their attention is being directed to these things, it is necessary that they be taught to think in terms well known to them and their neighbors. As citizens they must think about roads, play grounds, pig clubs, courts, seed corn, taxes, game laws; community morals, prevention of waste, pure air and water, and the prevention of diseases among people and farm animals. Their skill in handling these and similar problems will be the measure of their civilization and progress. This is especially true of those who live on farms and in small country towns. The schools that do most for the young people of the countryside will devote much time to the definite things that are close to the door-step, things that concern men and women who expect to live in the country community. This book has been prepared for the purpose of directing the attention of country boys and girls to some of the definite things they will have to do in later years as members of a community. It shows the splendid possibilities of the kind of community life that will keep boys and girls in the country where they can be independent and happy. Instructions of this kind will help to arrest the present unfortunate tendency of country youth to crowd into the narrowing and often squalid life of the city.
