It is in the town and not in the country, that 'terra incognita' needs to be written on our social maps. In the country the machinery of human life is plainly to be seen and easily recognized; personal relations bind the whole together. The equipoise on wh ich existing order rests, whether satisfactorily or not, is palpable and evident. It is far otherwise with cities, where as· to these questions we live in darkness, with doubting hearts and ignorant unnecessary fears . . .
