WANTS RURAL SURVEY TO
AID PEOPLE IN COUNTRY.
Find Out What's tho Matter, SO Rome
dies May Be Devised.

The social survey is coming into
favor in many parts Of the country as
means of social betterment. It Is
a simpler matter to bring about i'm
provement in city, q county or a CON-
munity when the conditions are fully
understood. To obtain the knowledge
that is necessary for intelligent and
effective effort is the object Of the
social survey.
A writer in the Progressive Farm
er makes plea for rural survey
work In the south and points out some
notable Instances where these surveys
have been made. The University of
Wisconsin, the Ohio board Of agricul-
ture and the Presbyterian commission
on country life are cited as having
engaged in this line Of endeavor with
and results. These organizations make
their surveys by counties, and the in
vestigations bring out great array of
information.
The county survey. means an inves-
Hgation Of the school. the churches,
the roads, the social opportunities, the
facilities for marketing, the conditions
on the farms. the tenantry, the in
fuences that make for rural -uplift
and those which tend to rural decline.
The correspondent of the Progressive
Farmer says:
"A rural survey would be an index
to progress. 1t would show the lines
of farming that were proftable; it
would create a spirit Of rivalry be-
tween counties; it would show condi-
tons as they are and probably help
locate the reason of the migration
from farm to town and help check
the same. s-
MANY Of the problems of rural life
have not been touched at all, but these
| will ultimately come into sight and
be solved. We have soil surveys, min.
eral surveys, geological surveys and
| other kinds of surveys with which
people are familiar. Why not have
| a rural survey and find out the real
condition of the people living in rural
| communities and systematically &c
about helping make these conditions
idealY"
The value of such surveys is evi
dent Where efficiently made they
show the strong points and the weak
points Of the county. In movement
for general betterment they are OF
great service and should prove as use.

Of the citizens. If the merchants and
public spirited members Of commu-

correct abuses, such as III looking

lips but a matter of inches from his
own. He claimed them.
