Excerpt from An Educational Survey of a Suburban and Rural County, Montgomery County, MD

In September, 1911, the Montgomery County Country Life Com mittee was organized, with a membership of 53 men and women, residents of the county, who were interested in the problems of rural life. The first work, of the committee, Without which no other could well be undertaken, was to determine the exact status of affairs in the county. Its first official act was to decide upon a sociological survey, in order that there might be obtained, as a scientific basis for future work of improvement, accurate information concerning the prevailing economic, social, educational, and religious conditions. The depart ment of Church and country life of the beard of home missions of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America was invited to make the survey. Two field investigators of said department, E. Fred Eastman and H. N. Morse, were subsequently detailed for this work, which was begun in January, 1912, and finished in April of the Same year.

The survey as finally completed dealt with eight main topics, viz, topography and location, economic conditions, population, social mind, recreation and morals, education, religious conditions and activities, and social welfare. The department making the survey has issued a bulletin including the principal material gathered. How ever, the educational conditions are discussed only brie¿y. The present report is intended to supplement the other, giving a full account of the educational conditions and a very brief résumé of the material collected on other topics.
