of the farm find their home en-
vironments so dull and lacking
in resources and iifterest that,
as a rule, they are drawn inevit-
ably to the city. This is not nec-
essarily an evil, save that it takes
from the country some of the
most energetic and wide-awake
members of the younger genera-
tion whose places will be hard to
fill later.
The remedy lies not so much
in inaugurating a back-to the
farm movement as in the sta.v-on-
the-farm campaign. The theory
of the traditional devil, “(Jive me
their leisure and I’ll get them re-
gardless of whom they work
for," is manifestly true, espec-
ially on the farm.
The social,center plan, the es
tablishment of country parks,
playground* and libraries will
furnish legitimate amusement-
and should be advocated. The
recreative needs of our boys and
girls demand immediate atten-
tion and the office of Director of
Public Recreation should be es-
tablished in every^ Texas com-
munity.
