Anderson, Wilbert L. Country town; with introd. by Josiah Strong. **$1. Baker.
Dr. Strong says “The author has faith in the country town, and is able to render a reason for the faith that is in him.” Mr. Anderson maintains that the great drift from the country to the city will only benefit the rural districts, for there will be left an enduring residuum with the stout heart that battles with problems of civilization and advancement. He says “that there is no scientific reason for the popular notion that the rural population is under a fatality of evil. The future depends almost wholly upon the power of environment—upon education, upon commerce, upon evangelization, upon participation in the great movements of the age.”
