Excerpt from A Rural Survey of Lane County, Oregon, Vol. 8
The survey of Lane County, Oregon, is the third survey made by the Presbyterian Country Church Work on the Pacific Coast. The initial request for it came through the Home Mission Committees of the Synod of Oregon and of the Presbytery of Willamette, within whose bounds Lane County is situated. A further and indirect request came through the Interdenominational Conference of Ministers held annually at the University of Oregon, which adopted general resolutions looking toward the securing of surveys within the State. In response to these requests the County Church Work undertook to survey a typical county in Western Oregon. No county in Oregon is typical of the entire State, the various parts of the State being so markedly different from each other. Lane County was selected because it is within the bounds of the Presbytery of Willamette and is reasonably typical of the most populous and developed sections of Western Oregon.
The survey was made in cooperation with the University of Oregon and under the local auspices of the committee representing the Interdenominational Conference. This committee under date of November 9, 1915, made the following memorandum, namely:
"In accordance with the resolutions adopted by the Interdenominational Conference of Ministers in session at Eugene, Oregon, July, 1915, in favor of securing 'through the denominational societies such surveys as may be necessary as a basis for interdenominational cooperation,' the Interdenominational Committee appointed by that Conference hereby endorses and commends the survey of Lane County, Oregon, now being made by the Country Church Work of the Presbyterian Board of Home Missions in cooperation with the University of Oregon and urges upon all churches of whatever denominations which come within the scope of the survey the desirability of cooperating in every way possible to further this work."
This was signed by John II. Boyd, chairman, C. F. Swander, G. N. Edwards, T. B. Ford and H. W. Davis, representing respectively the Presbyterian, Christian, Congregational, Methodist Episcopal and Baptist organizations.
The University, in addition to placing its varied facilities at the service of the investigator, undertook in its entirety the survey of the educational conditions in the county. The general field work was begun about October 1, 1915, and concluded about the first of the following January. The study of the school system was conducted by Fred C. Ayer, Professor of Education, University of Oregon, and continued throughout the school year, 1915-16. The chapter on the Pleasant Hill neighborhood was contributed by Earl Kilpatrick, Assistant Dean of the Extension Division of the University, whose assistance was also of the greatest value for every branch of the survey. Certain material relative to the local government was furnished by Mr. Ben H. Williams, Secretary Social Welfare Department, Extension Division, to whom acknowledgment is here made.
