IT is universally conceded that the 

 formal theology of a people is not 

 a safe index to its. real religious 

 life. The theology of Islam is treated 

 in a host of volumes, but, singularly 

 enough, no author of the present gen- 

 eration has even attempted to depict 

 for Occidentals the Moslem religion 

 as a fact in the daily consciousness of 

 its followers. This lack is supplied by 

 "The Religious Attitude and Life in 

 Islam."

RURAL PROGRESS 



BY KENYOJM L. BUTTERFIELD 



President of the Massachusetts Agricultural College 



The increasing interest in rural matters, 

 which began with the generally growing 

 love of outdoor life and which has already 

 included the technical aspects of modern 

 agriculture, is gradually being broadened 

 to embrace the field of economic and social 

 investigations. At present the literature 

 regarding the sociological phases of rural 

 life is particularly meager. 



President Butterfield emphasizes in his book 

 the importance of the social aspects of the ru- 

 ral community and describes some of the newer 

 movements resulting in the expansion of rural 

 life. There are chapters on the work of the 

 various agencies for rural development, such 

 as the agricultural colleges, the farmers' insti- 

 tutes, rural schools, the Grange, the country 

 church, etc.
