Small Army ‘of Workers Wili Be En- listed in Connecticut. 2 t Organized survey of rural church conditions in this state was in pros- rchase of the five | pect today. ‘The omvement Dmhlh‘lf will be started within & few months and’ com- pleted in about a year, with the ald d agrieul ists. Present plans call for use of the surveys as a-basis for a future exten- mames of a number of men in this state who have the plans under con- sideration were made known. The arrangements were discussed at the national church and country life conference held recently in Columbus, where President Wilson was one of the speakers. Delegates from this state held a special conference at that meeting to formulate tentative plans for a rural church survey, to be start- cd as soon as possible after their re- turn. Among the persons who Gfe expect- ed to be leaders in the movement here are: Frederick Lent, New Hayen; B. S. Winchester, New anan. Ruv R Hall, Hartford; Rev. Chepman, Old Lyme; Prof. Wlllllm P Ladd, Middletown. Similar surveys are contemplated in most other states. Working plans are to be modelled after those used dur- ing the past year in Ohio, where the first state-wide scientific inquiry into country church _conditions ever made in the united States is now being compléted by a state association working under the supervision of the Commission on Church and Country Life. This commission is a subsidiar body of the Federal Council of Churches, an inter-denominational or- ganizaticn of heads of churches in the United States. Each of the hundreds of volunteer workers who would be emploved in such a survey as that contemplated in this state would ascertain facts about country chusches within the township or locality assigned to him, such as these, for example: Membership, loca- tion, distance from another church, and nature of members (whether farm owners or tenants). These facts would be reported to a central office and as- sembled there. The results shown then would be used as the basis for an educational campaign to make churches extend their functions to include some of these interests: Federation of sev- eral churches in each community, good roads, public health, better farming with special stress on agricultural col- lege extension work, among farmers for buymx. elling and producing, consolidated ools, pub- - |lic recreation and establiskment of so- coal and recreational centers at churches. Country preachers are to be urged to educate themselves more thoroughly in the practical interests and needs of a community, without sacrificing purely religious work. Among the results indicated by the incomplete rural church Ohlo are these: Eighty-three per cent. of the churches have less than 100 members and 21 per cent. have less than 2. Only one in 16 has an indi- vidual preacher and a large proportion of ppeachers get about the same pay as a day -laborer. Less than 40 per church members. Only one-third are g in membership and one church in nine has been abandoned in_recent years.
