TbuS ON THE GROWTH OF TOWNS If Community Grows Faster Than Population Can Be Assimilated, Bad Results Follow. Communities which think only of growing bigger §re looking at only one side of community life and development. and perhaps not the most important side either, the workers in the field of rural social organisation at the state agricultural college at Ithaca point out in calling attention to an article by Dr. David D. Vaughan of Boston university. In the article, Dr. Vaughan first asks If one can estimate the worth of a man by his size, If one can estimate the man’s value to society by the scales? “If a man developed a fifty-pound tumor, would he boast of It?” continues the writer. “Some towns are foolish enough to boast of increasing population when the citizens added are a liability Instead of an asset. They may offer an opportunity for missionary work and for Americanization classes, and they may furnish the occasion for careful planning by religious and educational leaders, but often they are hardly a basis for flamboyant boasting. The size of a city may be Increased by a Num population, but not the real worth of the city. “Towns ought to grow no faster than the new’ population can be assimilated. Os course, it is not Impossible for the new population to be an improvement over the old. but this is not usual. “Economic motives are always at work so that material growth goes on without much encouragement But the life of the soul needs to be fostered and developed. The struggle for food and for the material basis of life is a necessity, but that does not mean that the things that differentiate men from animals are a luxury. “Hence, if population is doubled by the addition of persons having a mere animal standard of life, the standard already attained by the previous worthy citizenship may be lost and the town go backward instead of forward. “Too often we think we are better off merely because men come to our town to buy groceries and dry goods and real estate. Why not give them something more than these very necessary things when they Join us? “Our town might be better If it were large, provided the increased size made possible the enrichment of life—if people thus found the more abundant life we should declare that we had moved forward. “We therefore will not cast envious eyes upon towns that are merely larger than our town, since a town, like a person, needs something besides size to make it worthy. Whether our town Increases In population or It may surely be made to increase in real values. and It will. If a few citizens care and plan and sacrifice. Am I one of them?” •*— ! REAL VALUE OF GOOD PAVING Reduces the Cost of Hauling and Incidentally Living Rate—Teste Made in Chicago. Good paving cuts hauling costa, thereby reducing the cost of living. Wide-awake teamsters have always known that it was sound policy to conserve the energy of their horses by driving over streets where the load j seemed to pull easiest. They—and all j team owners—will be keenly interested in a report—No. 98—issued by the Horse Association of America. Union stockyards, Chicago. The tests were made at Chicago, in : September last, by E. V. Collins, research engineer from the lowa experiment station, and representatives of the Horse Association of America. “Typical city loads drawn by one, two und\three horses were tested over routed usually used, and the tractive pull in pounds required by an Integrating recording dynamometer. It was found that it required less i effort tp move a load weighing ten 1 and three-eighths tons over steel rails than to move two and two-fifths tons over aspbalL It required one-sixth less energy to move seven and threetwentieths tons over concrete paving than to move three and seven-twen-tieths tons over asphalt; and the largest load tested —eleven and eleven-twenty-fifths tons—required less energy to pull it over granite block paving than was required to pull six and sevbnty-seven-bundredths tons over an ph a It. | Only one test over dirt road was ! made, but this confirmed previous tests made in California and lowa. An examination of such data shows that it : Is easier to pull three and one-half | tuna over a concrete or good granite block pavement than to pull one ton i over a firm dirt road.

In 1740 Franklin wrote a friend: “A turkey is to be killed by electric shock, and roasted for our dinner by the electric jack be-* fore a fire kindled by the electric bottle.” The “electric referred to was an electrostatic motor strong enough to ‘rotate an iron rod passed through a turkey prepared for cooking. says a writer la the Mentor - -
