The complexities of modern civi- i Uzation stand out in bold relief when contrasted with the simplicity of life jas it was known when Canada was first reclaimed from the wilderness. { Our' forefathers in those early days, though suffering many privations and even hardships; were nevertheless able to produce or make nearly ev- erything they required. They lived unto themselves, and the doings of {the great world outside muttered lit tle to them. A Canadian boy, one of thousands, is brought up in a country town in the seventies or eighties of theelast | century, There are no electric lights, no electric cars, no automobiles; no { telephones, no typewriters, no mod- {ern plumbing. In this country 'town + there is an abundance of land. Down | the main street the lots are 200 feet wide. In the outskirts an ordinary { POOr man may own a homestead half the size of a city block, on which he raises vegetables, keeps chickens, a horse and a cow, and gets along with | out serious deprivation. The town de- pends Tor -its' food on the. farmers roundabout. When the farmers bring in their corn, wheat or barley to the mill they take: flpur in exchange. When they bring in their eggs and | principal articles for which the town depends upon the industries of the | outside world. Canned goods, crack- | ers, cookies and other manufactured | foods are coming in, but most of { them come from the litiie nearby ity, 'which is itself only a slightly arger country town, If communica- | tion with the outside world were cut | off, the town would feel the pinch, { but it could struggle along, and, after | some adaptation, be fait} comfort- able. The boy grows up and goes to live in a big city, depending more or less on hundreds of thousands of people, away, for the needs of his daily life. His existence is fearfully complex. He moves continually in crowds. If the least disturbance happens in the routine of these crowds (a transpor- tation strike, for instance) there is immediate suffering. The hoy is no longer a "unit. He is just a bit of protoplasm in a large, involved ani- mal. He has passed, within this space of twenty or so years, from an indi- vidualistic, agricultural civilization top one semi-socialized and industrial. In his home town he lived a life not radically different in a mechanical way from that lived by country pe- ople centuries ago. The chasm be- tween his present existence and the one' whigh he used to lead is for him only a fraction of a lifetime, but in the history of mankind it is centur- les. His home town. as it used to be. {1s nearer England of the sixteenth pPPoOse one ved In a dispute with an amie « [that organ everything goes wrong. whole blood supply is in the liver, and when more blood is aecumulated in eandi- |; vegetables to the store they very of- | ten take clothes, boots, hats, tools or' machinery in exchange.
