About This Book

The author surveys the social and psychological dimensions of country life, addressing family relationships, child care, rural schools, and the influence of churches and community agencies. He analyzes the farmer's mindset, contrasts rural and urban environments, and explores psychic causes of migration, mental hygiene in isolated districts, and the wartime effects on rural communities.
