Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Rural Survey in Tennessee, 1912 Cennessee urjep Within the past seven years the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America has entered the South. The Cumberland Union opened up to it this new field. As a result, new responsibilities have been placed upon it and new and perplexing problems have arisen. The present survey is a step in the direction of assuming that responsibility and solving the problems which it presents. It has been undertaken for the purpose of determining the conditions in the country communities al, .llc Map No. I Outline Of Tennessee Showing Location Of Gibson County of a typical county of West Tennessee, to discover what are the present needs of such communities, whether or not these needs are now being met by the church and other agencies, and finally to offer constructive suggestions designed to make the church work more efficient. This work was undertaken entirely without any sectarian motive, and was conducted without regard to denominational lines. It is not an attempt to advance the interests of the Presbyterian Church, but rather to determine how the Presbyterian Church may best cooperate with the other denominations at work in this field in the performance of the function for which the Church was founded and for which alone it should be maintained that of helping men to live together in loyalty to each other and to their common Father in Heaven. Method The field work for this survey was done in the fall of 1911 and occupied two months. The investigator drew freely upon all published reports, county records, and visited in person all parts of the county. There were three main steps in the process of collecting the field data. In the first place the investigator sought out some man in each neighborhood who was especially well informed and public-spirited.
