Ua94/6/1 The Economic & Social Status Of Boyce Rural Community, Thelma Glasscock
Student/Alumni Personal Papers
A paper written for Economics 310 at Western Kentucky Teachers College.
My aim in this study is to present in a brief manner the economic and social status of the community or school district in which I live. My data have been collected through observations over a period of twenty years and contacts made with the people of this district, through conferences with those much older than I, from records and reports of others, and a house to house canvass of the district. The pictures, illustrating certain features, were made during the spring of 1935.
