th e C o m m n n i t y as a W h o l e — S o m e
T h o u g h ts W o rth y o f C o n s id e ra tio n .
The sim ple barbarism of prim itive
man made each individual
almost
wholly independent of his fellows, ex
cept as they m ight have to unite for
defense against attack from a common
enemy. Modern society represents an
entirely d iffe ren t condition. Indepen
dence has been succeeded by indepen
dence. The complex conditions of
modern life make the individual more
and more dependent on his fellow men.
This increases th e necessity for clear
e r recognition of the benefits that
each derives from all. The things
w ithout which life in the country in
these enlightened days would be a
dreary
existence roads,
schools,
churches, libraries, electric cars, tele
phones, rural free delivery, and every
thing th a t combines to make up the
social life especially in the sm aller
cities, towns and villages w ithin reach
of farm homes, cannot be enjoyed un
less the community co-operates to cre
ate and m aintain them.
Hence th e community as a whole, in
so far as its relations to all these
things are necessary for enjoym ent, as
a community is concerned, m ust be
treated as one entire and individual
social organism .
A nything th a t in
creases its stren g th and w ealth and
the number of people composing it,
increases in a like degree its power to
serve th e w ants and needs of all as a
community.
Consequently everything th a t can be
done by every member of th e commun
ity to promote its general prosperity
and healthy grow th and im provem ent
should be done from a purely selfish
standpoint, if from no other. Each
member of necessity participates in
th e increased property values, in
creased prosperity and general w ealth
and increased social and educational
advantages.
This is tru e of the dwel
lers in the adjacent country, on the
farm s, ju st as much as of those living
in the m idst of the town th a t is the
center of social activity for th e entire
section.
T he sp irit of co-operation
and m utual helpfulness for the com
mon benefit in which all m ust partici
pate should include the farm ers as well
as the town dwellers. The isolation
and deadly monotony of th e old farm
life has filled th e insane asylum s and
driven countless thousands of young
men and women aw ay from home to
failure and a life of unhappiness and
dissapointm ent in the cities. These
terrib le draw backs to farm life have
b ien done away w ith in any modern
ru ra l community by uniting the farm s
and town into one loyal whole as a
community co-operating for th e w elfare
of all. The telephone, the ru ra l free
delivery, the consolidated school, good
roads and neighbors and th e entire
social life of the town w here the fa r
m er should trade are the new influ
ences to make farm life the happiest
life in,th e world. But to enjoy these
benefits the farm er m ust be one of the
community, and in exact proportion
th a t all who comprise it co-operate
stro n g er and weld it to g eth er more
closely and keep its accum ulated capi
ta l and its trade a t home ju s t to th a t
ex ten t will each enjoy the increased
benefits resulting from such a policy
of loyalty to th e home community.
All should work together for the im
provem ent of the schools, the estab
lishm ent of
libraries,
halls
and
churches, th e im provm ent of roads,
th e establishm ent of new industries
and increased .prosperity of those al
ready established, and everything th a t
human activity can do to m ake a bet
te r environm ent for a fully rounded
out ‘com plete and happy human life.

MAN IN ISOLATION.
He Is of Little Consequence and Is a
B arrier to Progress.
It is not an easy thing for a man to
s e p a r a te him self from th e thought and
activ ity an d purpose of th e com. unity
in which he lives and to pursu e an
isolated, disconnected an d selfish part.
H e c a n 't do it, Indeed, an d If he tries
it he will only reduce him self to a
cipher or stu m b lin g block. T he com
m unity will get ou som ehow, for it
m ust, but if it has many members
of this kind it will lie dull, heavy and
uuprogressive.
Man in isolation is of little conse
quence. next to nothing. H is associa |
tion with others, th e inspiration lie re
ceives from others, d r a w out his own
powers. "T h e slate," to this day. as
P lato conceived it. rem ain s "a pro duct
of mind." O ut of the action an d inter
action of c u rr e n ts of mind, affected
an d even directed by v a ria n t views or
opinions, comes th e whole progress of
man, of society, of the h u m an race.
We w an t w h a t Burke described as
" t h a t action an d counteraction which
in tlie n atu ra l and political world, from
the reciprocal stru g g le of d is co rd an t
powers, d r a w out th e h arm ony of th e
universe.”
T he most Isolated man cannot sep a
rate him self from th e situation he lives
In. If such Isolation w ere general or
could be general It would la- th e n eg a
tion of civilization. -P o rtlan d Orego
