The live graduate students made a survey of Weeping Water last spring. An attempt was made to include as many people as possible in the survey within the necessary time limitations.

This Advisory Committee was representative of the various aspects of the community's life. It's member ship included a farmer, two bus inessmen, a minister's wife and the Home Etensixon Agent of Cass County. Part 1 is ihe introduction and it tells about the Weeping Water Community and "now tne Pro ject Came About". Part 2 is " Children and Youth in Weeping Water". lY.i; lists recreation, family living, health, religion and ed neat ten pertaining to our children. Part 3 is "Self-Study ' ui'5s tor ihe Small Communi ty ". This part of the pamphlet suggests pioeedures that other communities can follow for con ducting a community self-study. 1 Weeping Water's weakest link was in the health area Another finding was the lack of organized recreation lor the teen-age group.
