Country Life and the Rural Press'
 The book number of the New Re public. December Sth. earriEs tho fol= lowing review of Professor Malcolm Wiley book. Country Life and the Rural Press Mr Wiley Is grad nate of Putnam high school, Clark College, Worcester, and received his PhD degree al Columbia. He is now professor or sociology al Dartmouth:
 Professor Wiley approaches the press from the sociologist's point of view He wants to know whether or not the country newspaper may be counted as a social influence. His in- itial assumption k that the press IS an important. if not the most important, af all agencies playing upon the pub lie mind and his secondary assamp- ton is that the country press should perform one central function. namely.
 interpret the local community Co itself. From the standpoint of method, he next assumes that this function Is measureable The preliminary ma terial consists of an elucidation of eat egories used by other investigators and the formulation of set of cate gories which seem satisfactory to him. With these tools m hand nc has proceeded Co apply his method Co de- tailed analysis of the thirty-fve coun- urt newspapers in the state of Con necticut. His final appraisal is for the most part negative: he concludes that country newspapers are deficient in their content of local news, deficient in socially significant news, and incon- sistent in policy The results of Pro lessor Nilley's study should prove use ful Co editors and writers as well as to students interested in the sociology of the press. for in spite of the fact that this is an academic product its termi- nology is sufficiently clear for the lay readers comprehension. It Is to be hoped that many other investigators will use his method in similar studies of other areas The country press Is still am active and important factor in fhe ife of small towns and rural communities, and We shall need to know great deal more about it's con- duet If We are te make useful inter pretations of the so-ealled American mind Professor Wiley has made the most Illuminating study in this field thus far available.
