A Study of Relief Activities in Seven Nebraska Counties, 1927-1934

In the present study, an attempt was made to investigate the relief situation in Nebraska. The aim was (1) to determine how public relief funds were administered in the various counties of the state before the beginning of federal participation in relief, and what changes, if any, had come about after the federal relief agencies began to function, and also what volunteer relief agencies were available to supplement county relief in each case; (2) to determine, so far as possible, the actual amounts that were spent and for what purposes, and also the amounts of goods distributed by each county and by these various agencies during the years 1927 to 1934; and (3) to obtain information concerning the extent to which relief was extended to families actually engaged in farming. It also seemed desirable to learn something of the general attitude and personal opinions of the county officials and relief workers concerning the problem in general and concerning the relief clients themselves. Some attempt was therefore made to determine whether the relief clients were urban, small town, or farm people, what conditions placed them on relief, and how they were regarded by officials and others

Personality Development in Farm, Small-Town, and City Children

One purpose of the present research project was to contribute further toward an adequate knowledge of the relative merits of urban and rural environments. In this bulletin the three general home settings already mentioned, namely the farm in the open country, the small town (600 to 1,300 in population), and the city, are compared as to their favorableness in regard to the personality development of the children who grow up in them. The data for the comparisons are the average scores made by representative samples of young people from each environment on a set of tests and scales designed to measure certain aspects of character and personality. Certain home environmental factors and influences concerning which data were obtained, as well as other factors external to the home, are discussed in relation to some of the group differences in test performance which appeared

The Relation of Certain Factors in Farm Family Life to Personality Development in Adolescents

Although the family has been much written about, and studied from many points of view in the past, relatively little attention has been given by investigators to the problem of determining the factors which make for successful family life. The need for information of this sort is obvious, and in recent years a few studies have been made from this point of view. The present study was undertaken for the purpose of gathering further information about normal families and some of the home-environmental factors which are thought to contribute to, or hinder, the achievement of successful family life
