Dean Walter W. Lindeman of Southern State Normal School Springfield S C argues in the Rotarian that small towns face decline due to population drain, commercial loss, and lower morale. He cites better transportation, department stores, and school choices as causes, and notes no simple fix exists beyond modernizing to compete.
