THE
CHANGING ENGLAND
PRESERVATION OF RURAL REAUTY
A GENEROUS OFFER
[To the Editor of the "Times") Sir, The Councils for the Preservation of Rural England and Wales have received so much en couragement from "The Times" that we beg the hospitality of your columns to make a very gratifying announcement as well as a special appeal for support. :
An old friend of our Councils, Mr. Boies Penrose, who lives in Sommerset, has made a generous gift of £1,000, and a still more generous offer to subscribe up to a total of £10,000 in proportion to the help we receive from other sources dur ing the next two months. As an American now resident in England, Mr. Penrose is anxious to do some thing to retain the pristine beauty of the English countryside. May we quote the terms of his letter:-
I am the more moved to do so when I see England now making many of the very mistakes in deve lopment that have gone far to spoil the amenity of
much
of America; mistakes that we are just now re cognising and attempting, with great difficulty and #k great cost, to cor rect. As a form of insurance against the evils of unchecked developmen I shall be very glad if you will ac cept the enclosed cheque for $1,000.
feel that there is no good rea son why so much of the countryside should be spoiled,
espec aly if the Councils that you represent can only make their views sufficiently well known and accipted. To that end adequate funds are obviously essen tial, and will surely be forthcoming when the need is fuly appreciated. As an expression of my own con aciousness of the importance
and urgency of the work which you are deing, may I make this proposal which may be of help in starting a subscription list?
For
every pound subscribed with
in the next two months, for the Coun- cile for the Preservation of Rural England and Rural Wales, I shall be most happy to add another pound, up to the total denation for me of £10,000.
We are glad to conforma to the above conditions laid down by Mr Penrose.

With this introduction, Siri Thomas Oliver, the Vice-Chancellor of Durham University, who deliver- ed his presidential address to the Institute of Hygiene on "Some fac- tors which have made for the de- cline of nationa," analysed the cause of the decline of ancient Greek civilisation.
In the fourth century B.C., he said, a change had taken place in Greek character; patriotism had de- clined, and the people had lost their manly vigour and intellectual strength. It was about this time that malaria became prevalent in Greece-oven to-day 40 per cent. of the people in Greece were said to be suffering from the disease.
Malaria, however, was not the only cause of the decline. ""The Greek," said Sir Themas, "had lost not only his religion, but also his faith, and without faith in some-. thing higher than itself no nation can long survive.""
