Give other illustrations to show the dependence of people upon one
another in your community. Compare the farmer of to-day in your neighborhood with the pioneer of Indiana described on page 14 with respect to his equipment, skill in making things and kinds of implements used. Compare the average farmer's home in your neighborhood to-day with that of the New England farmer described on page 14 with respect to household activities. Are farmers in your neighborhood to-day more or less dependent upon others to supply their wants than they were when your parents were children? Why is it? Get all the information you can from your parents on this point. Which is more dependent upon others for its daily wants: a family that lives on a farm in your neighborhood or one that lives in town? Give examples to prove your answer. Do you know cases in your own community where land has increased in value while lying idle? What are the reasons? Do you know of cases in your community where property has depreciated in value because of neighborhood influences such as suggested on page 18? Do you know of cases in your community similar to the one described on page 17 under the heading "Held Back by Neighbors"? Explain. (Consult at home.) |
