SURVEY OF ST.
TAMMANY FOR
COMMUNITY
DATA
One of Few Parishes in the
State Selected for
This Work.
FOR COMMUNITY
HELP, UPBUILDING
Maps Will Be Drawn, Trade
Centers Given, Houses
Noted, Etc.
Dr. A. W. Hayes, of the School of
Social Science, Tulane .University, in
co-operation with Supt. Lyon, and
teachers of St. Tammany parish, is
undertaking a fundamentally import
ant. inventory of neighborhood and
rural community organization in this
parish.
Dr. Hayes attended the recent in
stitute at Slideil, and while there
outlined and explained the nature of
this survey. Hie stated that St. Tamr
many parish had been selected in
stead of several other parishes that
had ,been considered `because of the
forward-looking vision that the
School Board and school system
seemed to have, and also hbeoause; of
the promised. co-operation of the
school officials.
As stated by Dr. Hayes, the pur
pose of the survey Is to locate" the
district farm neighborhoods which
are known .by names of their .resi
dents as well as to locate areas in
the parish not included in neighbor
hood groups. The survey will get
such information as applies to trade
centers, but has nothing whatever to .
do with valuations. With this in
formation at hand, any of the parish
officials and, school teachers will De
in a better position to assist in con
strictive rural community building
plans. They will. know what are
the outstanding communities and
what are not, where to go to be of
the greatest help in assisting i
community life, and in the organiza
tion of social and economic affairs.
This information is being gather- .
ed through the schools by means of
a questionnaire which is being sent
by the schools to eachfarm family in
the parish. It is of absolute im-_
portance that each farm',famnily All
out and return each questionnaire
in-order that th' saerv~ey anibe-com
plete. After all the blanks are re
turned, a parish map will be made
which will show the rural .neighbor
hoods as known by the people' thra
the parish, and should be, of great.:
value to the parish agent as well as
to the home 'demonstratiog agent.
This survey is, perhaps; the rsti' :.-,
of Its kind that has been made in:'
any of the Southern States, although.
many have been made in the North ..: ..:
Central States, and St. Tammany:
should consider itself especially comý
plimented in being selected for this:.'
work. In addition to that, .the
teachers are fortunate in being able
to take part in such a program be
cause it simply means that:a course
in rural dociology is being given to:
them under the direction of the
Tulane Social Science College.
The ,Covington Gymnastic Club -
will= play the Verrina's at the Park.
Pavilion to-morrow =afternoon' at 2
o'clock. A good game is promised.
