I06 BELGIUM - MISCELLANEOUS 



The subjects coming under the third head relate to the problem of 

 rural esthetics with regard to peasants' houses, public buildings, road mak- 

 ing, gardens and villas, mode of dress etc. 



Finally, the subjects coming under the fourth head relate to various 

 matters, such as the food of the peasants, the way to reduce the number 

 of labourers, small rural industries, elementary and professional education 

 as a means of inspiring affection for the land, agricultural libraries, family 

 life, the manner of promoting the progress of associations as well as the com- 

 plex problem of the relations between labourers and masters. 



In these subjects indeed we have a summary of the movement of ideas 

 now evolving in the field of Belgian agricultural economy, which has found 

 its most effectual and happiest expression in the " Modern Village. "
