The author has attempted to define the rural community and to describe the new conditions which are determining its structure and shaping its functions, in the belief that an understanding of the nature of the rural community should aid those who are seeking to secure a better social adjustment of the countryside.

The problems and methods of community organization have been discussed but incidentally, and the book is not designed as a handbook for community development. [more][Less]
