Excerpt from The Little Town: Especially in Its Rural Relationships This book on the contrary aims first of all to address the little town mind directly. It proposes its solutions in terms of little town qualities and capacities. It tries to direct the deluge of civic good counsel and to apply its multitude of helpful suggestions in such fashion that the little town will have to say, This means me. Secondly, the book seeks to discover and release new motive for civic betterment. It does not expect the little town to improve simply because of intellectual conviction that it ought to be improved. There will be no adequate motive without new vision. In itself the little town is indeed incidental and largely decrepit and dying. But the author, for one, is convinced that in it lies most of the natural leadership for the betterment of the open country. The rural progress cause hangs on the fortunes of the little towns. Their interests need radical re-direction countryward. Let the town become rurally-minded and it will tap fresh streams of purpose and find vast re-enforcement for its own struggle. The big, romantic, beautiful country, the home of most of the American people, the cradle of its ancient virtues, the seedbed of social permanencies and strength, the source of daily bread for us all - the country is infi nitely worth redeeming. But if the country, then also the little town, the country's capital. Doubtless it can be saved only in the consciousness of its relationship to country interests. Reverently it must say For their sakes I sanctify myself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
