2—' The Town and the Region '
F. G. Thomas
This evening the question of the small town in a rural district and its relation to the economic, social, and religious life of the surrounding countryside will come up for examination. There is an ideal size for such towns if they are to be effective social units in the type of district where they are situated. The functions of such bodies as the Urban
District Council and the Rural
District Council, as units of government, will also be discussed.
