A town cannot progress any faster than the people in it.
They are
“bound” to win or lose together. If the individuals comprising a city lack
foresight and enterprise, they not <>ply retard their own chances of suc­
cess, but they hold back the town’s chances as well. On the other hand, a
vigorous and progressive citizenship sets a rapid pace and the community
keeps up with it.
This close relationship be*ween individual and community effort should
never be overlooked. If the town is not making as much headway as some
of us might think it should, it may be something is holding it back.
We must remember that cities have characteristics the same as people
