Excerpt from The Making of a Town
Many things have been said in books and periodicals about cities, but very little has been written on the problems of the smaller towns. Still, the difficulties in these places are great; moreover, the meeting of them is checked by lack of leadership, opportunity to find the written material upon them in near-by libraries, and by the absence of a background of understanding and purpose. Some experience in town building and a close relationship to the problems of the smaller places, have brought me to the view that a statement of town problems might be of assistance. In view of that need, this book has been prepared. It does not pretend to solve all of the town problems, but I trust it brings to light some of the more essential features of town growth and the need of careful planning. If this point has been clearly put, the book serves its purpose.
