Make Farm Home Attractive, In the design and construction of the farm house the question of utility alone should not be the determining factor. The first thought should be the making of a homo. The amount of money to be Invested In" the build? ing- of "the home should not be deter* mined by its relation, In else to . the balance pf the plant, nor by the amount that Is necessary merely to provide a shelter, but the amount to be Invested should be that* which the owner may reasonably afford without financially crippling himself too se? verely. The average city dweller In buying a house for a home does not proceed solely on the basis of what he ean expect to secure in caso it if ever desirable to place the house on the market. He is not likely to con? sider the purchase cf a home as a financial investment but as a social m0, irjpi|| will enable him lo^aecjjro, for hf* family the comforts and con? veniences that be could not secure In a rented house, and lo . have for his family a genuine home, a genuine home life. If he la able when the time arrives to dispose of his prop? erty to financial advantage, well and good; If not, he considers, and prop? erly so .that he hae made a good In? vestment from the social side. There Is no panacea that will cure the yearning for city life evidenced by the country boys and girls of today, but there are certain conditions, which. If established, will add ma? terially to the attractiveness of life In the country, end should therefore prevent them from flocking to the cities merely to avoid life on the farm. It Is not to be expected that every person reared on a farm will desire to follow farming as a life work, nor Is it necessarily desirable that they should do so. Many of, the boys will feel a calling to one or another of the professions, and It is probable that If allowed to follow their ben' , will be far more successful and contente.i than If ovorpersuaded to stay with the farm. The problem Is not to force the boy or girl to remain on the farm, but to assist them In every way In making an Intelligent choice. Their choice can not possibly be Intelligent in less they are familiar with f irm life under its best conditions.?E. B. McCormlck, Office of Public Roads and Rural Engineering.
