A study of Davidson county by Miss M. Jewell Sink, a member of this year’s graduating class in the University, has just been published, and it is being highly praised in the state papers and elsewhere.
“She has investigated thoroughly, and she reports accurately,” says the Greensboro News. “The county is painted with its fine record and steady growth, and its strength is laid side by side. The diagnosis she has made is interesting, provocative, stimulating. She deserves wide reading, and we have no doubt she will get it.”
The book runs of 86 pages. It is well illustrated and contains carefully prepared tabulations showing important facts about business, education, agriculture, religion, and social conditions in Davidson. Miss Sink made the study in connection with her work in the department of rural social economics, of which E.C. Branson is the head. The volume was prepared under the immediate direction of Edgar T. Thompson, one of the members of the faculty of that department.
