ABSTRACT
It is impossible to estimate in advance the changes which will be wrought on rural life by the new Local Government Act, which replaces all the old authorities of Vestry, Churchwarden, Sanitary Authority, and revolutionises the Poor Law Guardian system by means of the new Parish Meetings, Parish Councils and District Councils. The following brief summary may at least serve to show what far-reaching changes—and it may be hoped, too, what far-reaching opportunities for reinvigorated life—are brought to the doors of the rural community by this Act.
