About This Book

A sociological study traces the development of rural communities through successive economic and social types—pioneers, land farmers, exploiters, and husbandmen—examining how migration, land use, tenancy, and industrial pressures reshape neighborhood life. The church and school are treated as diagnostic institutions that register community health and mediate social values; other chapters analyze newcomers, margins of community, cooperation, common schools, morality, recreation, and worship. Emphasis is placed on the church's role in inspiring social ideals amid declining population and changing economics, and on practical recommendations for local leadership and organization to sustain communal life.
