Perhaps this movement has been most
marked in Great Britain and Ireland. The
migration of population from the rural
districts to towns was first apparent in
Wain in 1851. It did not become of any
Importance in England until some 10 years
later. . During the last 20 years eight
counties in England and .hree in Wales
‘ have lost ,10 per cent of their rural popula-
tion—that is, the rural population in those
counties today is 10 per cent less than it
won 20 years ago. In some districts, par-
ticulariy in the southwest of the kingdom,
the decrease in rural population is as high
an 2000 80 per cent. In Scotland the move-
ment toward the towns began 60 years
ago, and parliamentary returns show that
thodspopuiation has been much greater
than in England and Wales, but the pre-
cilspercentage is not stated. .Tho high-
lands have suffered most, but the lowlands
' "have also lost heavily. The returns quoted
aver that the formation ‘of deer forests,
which necessitate the dispossession and
driving away wholesale of very many fam-
ilies, has played no important part in the
depopulation of the rural districts. This
indicates that to some deeper underlying
cause must be ascribed the great general
exodus from the rural regions.
The depopulntion of lreland has been
continuous and severe and general
. throughout the country. it line not been
a rural depopulntion only, but in general
migration from both towu uud country.
It began before the great. famine of 1846
and has continued ever since. llut evenin
Ireland, with this general decwuse of the
population as a. whole, there has been 11

towns. Belfast has increased remnrkuhly.
There seems to exist nowndnys ou the
port of many rural bom persons on over-
sion to country life, and it would seem an
aversion that. is spreading. Reasons to ac-
count for this are plentiful nod will rend:
