Does experience in your locality support the statement that tenant farmers are less likely than others to interest themselves in community progress? If you live or go to school in town, make a study of home ownership in the town. (If a small community, the class may study the entire area; if large, different sections may be studied by different groups of pupils.) How many homes are occupied by their owners? how many by tenants? What is the percentage of tenancy? Is tenancy increasing or decreasing? For what reasons? Is there some section of the community where most of the people own their homes, and another section where most of the people rent? If so, do you notice any difference in the general appearance of the two sections? Do you think that the difference, if any exists, is due in any part to the fact that some own and others rent their homes? Is there a tendency for the farmers of your locality to move into town? If so, why? What becomes of their farms? Review the points made in the discussion of topics 4 and 5 on page 38 (Chapter III). Continue to develop plans for cooperation in the home and school. What does it mean to be "in training" for athletics? In the light of your answer to this question, what would it mean to be "in training" for citizen ship? |
