Excerpt from The Fairview Idea: A Story of the New Rural Life
In the month of August, 1914, war became the chief occupation of the whole world. No one can even conjecture as to the length of the time which must elapse before average humanity will be able to see world affairs in the pure white light of peace. Things which preceded the World War will be reconsidered in the dull baleful glow which preceded the explosion; and all matters following its conclusion will be looked at in the light of its immeasurable effects. In this book all consideration of the war is purposely excluded; for it relates to the inner life of the rural community which must go on wholesomely forever if our nation is to be equal to the responsibilities of either peace or war. And yet the Great War changed radically our manner of looking at agricultural problems.
After we engaged in the conflict we suddenly became more concerned about farms and farming, if not better informed or more intelligent.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes a close look at rural life in the United States, as viewed by its author who sees many problems stemming from urbanized living and depopulated farms. The author posits that farmers and farmers' families are leaving the land in droves, lured by the temptations of city life. The author contends that this is a mistake, that the country has much more to offer than the city does, especially with the advent of new technologies like the automobile, and that the solution to rural decline is to make the country a more attractive place to live. This book is a window into the challenges and adjustments faced by farmers in the early 20th century, and explores ways to combat them. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
