"The Country-Life Movement in the United States" by L.H. Bailey is a story from the past that examines the rise of a movement dedicated to making rural life better, not just for people moving from cities, but for those already living there. It describes how this push aimed to bring the benefits of modern life to the countryside, focusing on improving things like schools, jobs, and communities. It highlights the differences between simply wanting people to move back to farms and actually working to make rural areas strong and successful for the people who call them home. The story shows how improving farming is important but also stresses the need to build strong communities, good schools, and fair economies so folks can have richer, more fulfilling lives.
