The gray abandoned farms possess a melancholy loneliness, but even more melancholy is the thought of thousands upon thousands of human beings cooped up as no human be ings were ever meant to be In city flats, and little children learning of life between 300 feet high stone walls. The country needs these peo ple, and these people need the coun try most of them more than they can guess. And I see the problem of to-day not as one of "missionary work" in any usual sense of that term, but as one of repopulating our beautiful hills and gracious valleys with the stock of the cities, that shall come as men return to their father's hearth, that shall "come back home" for it is not until a man owns the soil he stands upon, looks from his door-stone to the shadowed plumage of his trees, and plunges a spade in the ground, that he knows the true meaning of home. Let the cities have their flats, and let us live in them so long in the year as we must; but glial 1 that be all of life, that, and perhaps a summer boarding-house or a fussy motor car? I look down the green peace of our valley, walled by its wood hills, I see the gray roofs of our abandoned farms, beautiful in their clearings, jewels 4 on the thread of road, and they seem to me an irrefutable reply.
