Excerpt from The Rural School and the Community: A Study of the Methods and Application of the Social Survey
If in scientific questions, in industrial questions, in financial questions, facts are absolutely essential, it would seem little less than criminal that questions of social well-being should be settled by guess-work and prejudice.

Excerpt from The Rural School and the Community: A Study of the Methods and Application of the Social Survey
Within the past few years, particularly, there has been a tremendous amount of material written upon the rural problem. It is well that it should be so, for the field has been so largely neglected that many people do not know that there is a rural problem; and even now men are by no means agreed as to the fundamental issue in that intricate and complex situation. It would seem, however, that for the present generation the question is an economic one, and particularly one of accounting and marketing; that for the future generation it will be a question of education, using the word in the somewhat restricted sense.
In studying the question, therefore, it is well that we should remember that a concrete application of sociological principles is never out of place. The difficulty is that we are prone to apply them in a hasty and vague manner, without first finding the actual facts involved. It is the old, old story of thinking we know, when as a matter of fact we know little about the situation, and what we do know we have in a most unsatisfactory form.
The object of the present study is to indicate a way in which we may ascertain these things, and, further, to suggest some uses to which these facts may be put. This book is not to be looked upon as a full and complete study of social surveying. It is intended merely to be suggestive of what may be done in rural education if teachers have patience and the proper training.
