This book endeavors to set forth rural changes in their historical, scientific, and social aspects. The introduction of rural mail delivery and the extension of the telephone system will improve the country environment. But the drift toward the city is determined almost wholly by economic causes, and this book looks at how the existing middle class of country dwellers can be assisted in continuing the universally important practice of agriculture. This volume addresses the social reconstruction and environmental improvements that can help save country towns.

"Harshly realistic, it portrayed, in a rather colorless but easygoing style, the hopeless lives of men and women in two midwestern prairie towns."--BookRags.
