The younger ones want to go to town and the country sections are almost devoid of resident physi cians’ attendance.

Pride in one’s town or community leads a man to work for civic and moral, advancements, for no one likes to th^nk that his place-of abode is inferior in any way to that of another. And the same reasoning can be applied to state and nation. Pride is the root of all competi tion, and competition, in turn, is the root of most of the progress in the world.
