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. Emphasis is placed on applying scientific and psychological understanding to strengthen home efficiency, educational and religious institutions, and socializing agencies, with practical recommendations for fostering cooperation, civic responsibility, and overall well-being in agricultural districts.
