THE BIG AND THE LITTLE TOWN.
I
N nn article entitled "Tho
Crane says:
One reason why people flock to cities Is that they may bo nblo to mlud
their own business.
Political economists seek complex and devious reasons for tho tremoudous
rapidity of city growth mid for tho desertion of tho country and of the coun
try town. The cause, howoer, Is qulto slmnlu, n simple ns human nature.
The people go to cities because they "want to." That'tf nil.
Take the village of I'odtink. In the first place you would not be allowed
to go there to live without ovplnlnliig why you came, where you catno from,
and what your business Is. You can rent a flat In Chicago, however, and
nobody cares a tuppence who you are or what Is your criminal record, so
long as j on are peaceable.
Your neighbors Know all about you and your wife, yours sons, and .vour
daughters. The bank cashier knows the sixe of your pile, the grocer and
butcher know what you eat. the dry goods merchant knows what sort of un
derclothes you wear and how much your women folks spend on corsets, nn-1
they nil meet and check up.
hen you leave town they know It, also when you return: and they want
to know what you were doing.
It Is all a very co. family arrangement. You live In the constant glare
of tho limelight.
mSoiiio peoplo like it, and feel lost and lonesome In the city. Hut more
apd more thnt class Is growing to whom this perpetual Invasion of privacy
IsMlsaRrecnble.
It Is pretty generally assumed among moralists that people love the pri
vacy of cities because they wish to plunge Into vice. Doubtless some lo,
Hut It is doubtful If the average city bred person Is any more Immoral than
the country bred.
It Is conceivable that a person may wish to live his own life as he pleases.
and not under tho unremitting supervision of Mrs. Grundy, and thnt this
wish may bo prompted not by a desire for secret crime but simply by a de
sire for personal privacy.
The matter Is really n conflict between tho old Idea that morality Is con
formity and the modern Idea that morality Is the responsible expression of
one's own personality.
The city means the revolt of tho soul of man against moral dictation.
Of course, wicked people have always resented moral tyranny. Now the
good people are beginning to resent It too. So the country Is squeezing out
Its best and its worst Into the cities. ,
These "remarks are true to a largo extent. Village gos
sins and busv bodies, and restrictive efforts to curtail per-
Isonal liberty are partly responsible tor the exodus from tho
village to the city.
These small communities tend to make people small.
The narrow environment of lives restricts horizons and
dwarfs perspectives. People having nothing else to talk
about, talk about each other, and all the unlovable traits of
human character are exposed.
The fault lies with the people themselves rather than
with the environment. Life is what the individual makes
it. There is no reason why people should not mind their
own business in the village as well as in the city. There is
no reason why any one should pay any attention to neigh
bors efforts to regulate him, why ho should not give free
expression to personality why the larger things of life
should not occupy attention instead of petty surroundings.
The small town has many charms that the city lacks.
It has the fresh air and the sunshine, room to breathe, ex
pand and develope, to enjoy at first hand beauties of nature
that make life worth lining.
The small town perhaps does not offer as great a degree
of personal liberty as the city, but it is free from smoke
laden atmosphere, free from the gloomy twilight of sky
scrapers with their imprisoned thousands, free from tha
friendlcssness of maddening dollar chasing throngs, the in
cesantly clanging trolleys, the roaring elevated, the- weary
slavery of the sweatshop, the dreary grind of the factory,
the underpaid drudgery of the department stores, the taw
dry glare of white slavery, the hopelessness of slums.
Life offers much more and should mean much more in
the peaceful village than in the over-crowded city. Life
should be much sweeter and dearer, where everv face is the
face of an acquaintance, and
chilly glance ot strangers, where the music oL children s
laughter and the whistled melody of the meadow lark rings
even in the market places. If it doesn't, the individual is
as much to blame as the community for the small town of
fers the best perspective of life.
