Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Rural Survey in Pennsylvania
Under this head the survey seeks to discover those elements of com mon thought and feeling, the raw materials of community action. We find that 90 per cent. Of the communities surveyed are located on at least one irailroad line, while 19 per cent. Of this population are served by trolley facilities and 96 per cent. Of the population under study have rural free delivery. These means of communication are the basis of the interaction of minds, and they are the most general avenues of common response to common stimuli. Whatever common action there may be in this whole population is conditioned by these factors. One other element in this system of communication by roads Should be mentioned. Generally through this region the roads are the ordinary country road, but the State of Pennsylvania is rapidly building stone roads, and this region is under swift transformation as a result of those processes. The effect, however, of the new roads cannot yet be socially registered. It will have much to do with increasing the common response and intensify ing the social character of the population.
