The Study Outline and 
 Its Use 
 
 The series includes outlines on art, literature, travel, 
 biography, history and present day questions. 
 
 The outlines vary in length. If more topics are given 
 than the number of club meetings for the season, those 
 topics that are more difficult to handle or on which there 
 is less available material, may be dropped. If there 
 are fewer topics than the scheduled meetings, certain 
 topics may be divided. 
 
 Lists of books are appended to most of the outlines. It 
 would be well for the club to own some of the recom- 
 mended books. .Others can be obtained either from the 
 local public library or from the state traveling library. 
 When very full lists are given it is not necessary for any 
 club to use all the books, but the longer list gives more 
 room for choice. 
 
 The best material on some subjects may be found, not 
 in books, but in magazines. These may be looked up un- 
 der the subject in the Readers' Guide to Periodical Liter- 
 ature, Magazine articles and illustrated material may be 
 obtained from the Wilson Package Library, For terms 
 see fourth page of cover. 
 
 A list of the study outlines now in print will be found 
 on page three of this cover. For later additions to the 
 list write to publisher.

INTRODUCTION 
 
 This study outline takes up some of the social prob- 
 lems of the country community. It suggests a series of 
 discussions on subjects related to the farm home, the 
 country church, the rural school and the rural neighbor- 
 hood. It is not concerned with the business of farming 
 or with the profession of housekeeping. It does not 
 touch on the economic problems of farm life. These sub- 
 jects — marketing, farm labor, rural credits, the cooper- 
 ative movement, etc. — may be covered in a later outline 
 if it seems desirable. 
 
 How TO Use the Outline 
 
 Adapt the outline to your own community needs. 
 There are five main divisions of the subject: The Farm 
 Home ; The Rural School ; The Country Church ; Com- 
 munity Life; and The Country Town. Give as much 
 time to the discussion of each of these subjects as the 
 needs of your community demand. Under each subject 
 you will find topics for discussion. An entire evening or 
 afternoon's program may be given to one topic, or several 
 topics may be combined to make up one program. The 
 subject of the rural school, for instance, if covered 
 thoroly might occupy four, or perhaps five, programs. 
 But if you already enjoy- the advantages of school con- 
 solidation you will need to give less time to this subject. 
 
 How To Get Reference Material 
 
 Each subject for discussion is followed by a list of 
 references for reading and study. These fall into three 
 classes ; 
 
6 . , , ,3 C- fi::^: 'INTRODUCTION 
 
 (1) Books. Twenty-three books have been used as a 
 basis. A complete list of these will be found on page 35. 
 In the reference the name of the author and the paging 
 are given. "Betts, p254-60'' means Betts & Hall : "Bet- 
 ter rural schools," pages 254-60. 
 
 To get the books: (1) Buy them if you can; (2) Ap- 
 ply to the nearest public library; (3) Write to the Library 
 commission at the capital of your state. The library 
 commissions of a number of states have said that they 
 will glady cooperate with clubs using this outline. 
 
 If you are limited in the number of books you may 
 have, you will find those marked * most useful. 
 
 (2) Magazine articles. Articles have been chosen 
 from recent numbers of popular magazines and from a 
 few of the best-known farm journals. The public library 
 and the library commission may again be able to help you, 
 or you may rent magazine articles from the Wilson 
 Package Library. 
 
 (3) Documents and bulletins. These may be ob- 
 tained free of charge or may be purchased at a low 
 price. Write to the address given. 
 
 A Suggestion to New Clubs 
 
 If you turn at once to the subject Organizations and 
 Clubs on page 23 and make use of the references you may 
 find helpful suggestions on organization. 
 
 This outline is planned for women's clubs, farmers' 
 clubs, community clubs or other organizations of men and 
 women who wish to come together for the study and dis- 
 cussion of live topics. It is to be hoped that the club 
 making use of the outline will not remain content with 
 discussion. Learn from what others have done and put 
 the new ideas into practice.

 The Rural School 
 
 "The country offers ^continual interest to the mind which has 
 been trained to he thoughtful and observant; the town offers 
 continual distraction to the vacant eye and brain. Yet the ed- 
 ucation given to country children has been invented for them in 
 the town, and it not only bears no relation to the life they are 
 to lead, hut actually attracts them toward a town career.^'

 TEN TESTS OF PROGRESS FOR YOUR 
 NEIGHBORHOOD 
 
 Here are ten agencies of progress which we believe 
 no neighborhood can be without : 
 
 1. Proper church and Sunday School organizations. 
 
 2. A three-teacher school — with instruction in agri- 
 
 culture and domestic science, and a school li- 
 brary patronized by both old and young. 
 
 3. A community hall or auditorium in connection 
 
 with the school house, suitable as a place of 
 assembly for whatever meetings the neighbors 
 wish to hold. 
 
 4. A local farmers' organization. 
 
 5. A club of farm women. 
 
 6. A community league, meeting quarterly or oftener 
 
 and embracing all citizens. 
 
 7. A community fair held each fall. 
 
 8. A young people's club, probably embracing de- 
 
 bating, musical and dramatic features in addi- 
 tion to industrial features such as corn clubs 
 and canning club work. 
 
 9: A '^credit union" or mutual savings and loan asso- 
 ciation to encourage thrift. 
 
 10. A neighborhood baseball team or other agencies 
 for recreation. 
 
 Credit your neighborhood with ten points for each 
 agency of progress it has, and see how much it lacks of 
 making a perfect score — 100.
