- Title
A PERMANENT RURAL POLICY.
- Authors
Branford, Sybella
- Abstract
This article talks about the need for a permanent rural policy. Such an effort requires the impetus of an ideal, otherwise it will not be made. The farmers would be under the supervision of experts who would see that any farmer neglecting his land was turned out, and whose advice would therefore be listened to with great respect. The market towns should be centres not only for the economic life of a group of villages, but also for their intellectual and spiritual life. On the other side should be a clubhouse for town and country members, which should be a centre of regional life. In connection with the club-house, or possibly close to the market-place, there will be showrooms where the work of the craftsmen of the town and neighbourhood can be bought, and where from time to time also exhibitions of craftwork on loan from South Kensington can be seen and studied. Co-operation is itself an essential element in educational and social life no less than in economic development. If the war makes it possible that such a policy will be inaugurated it will not have been fought in vain.
