Excerpt from A Rural Survey in Southwestern OhioThe four counties studied have an approximate area of 1909 square miles. The areas of the individual counties are as follows: Darke. 586 sq. Mi., Montgomery, 455, Butler, 452, and Preble, 416. There is a total of. 59 townships. Of this number the survey covered 38 townships, or 6470 of the total number. Darke and Preble Counties have no large cities within their limits, in the other counties studied are located the three cities of Dayton, Middletown and Hamilton. These exert some in¿uence upon their immediate environment. Cincinnati also in¿uences to a certain extent the southern part of Butler County.In the survey no unit could be adopted which would include all the interests of any given aggregation of people. The eco nomic life of a community may center around a group of stores in a country village. At the same time the political life of the community may be divided among townships, counties or even states or any' combination of these. Further, the religious com munity may not be coterminous with any of the other units and any one of these may be more far-reaching in its in¿uence than distance, race, property-ownership, relationship, or similar factor. The political unit as represented by the township and the county was finally chosen as being the most satisfactory for the purposes of the survey.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
