The Levy Societies. The village clubs and small local societies, of which some description has been given in the previous chapter, commonly adopted the most unsatisfactory system of raising a levy to provide for the expenses of sickness and burial of their members. The tendency of these clubs was merely to last for one generation, for the younger men, as indicated in a pre- vious chapter, naturally wearied of paying levy after levy for their older brethren, before their own need of a " sick-gif...t " arose, and so frequently withdrew from the clubs, leaving them to be broken up. Many of these societies, as time progressed, entirely changed their form, and adopted graduated scales of contribution and other sound methods of insurance. A number of them have lingered on until the present time, when it appears that the Insurance Act has dealt a death-blow to the large majority of small village clubs. They have been of no little social and educational value, and have borne their share in promoting some knowledge of the principles of thrift, and in fostering a spirit of brotherly kindliness.
