Village Improvements and Farm Villages

"Village Improvements and Farm Villages" by George E. Waring is a study on enhancing rural life through better sanitation, design, and community involvement. It argues that while many villages already have a natural appeal, they often suffer from a lack of care and planning. Waring encourages residents to work together, particularly noting the important part women can play, to beautify and maintain public spaces. The book explores different ways to make farm villages more pleasant and livable by focusing on practical improvements and community spirit, reflecting a time of big social changes and a growing focus on public health and better farming practices in America.
