Extension constantly seeks practical methods for measuring and presenting its accomplishments. This study illustrates a new approach to appraising the contributions of an educational agency (the Kansas Agricultural Extension Service) on a single town. The researchers measured quantitatively what the AES contributed to the town environment during one year's time. They illustrate how agents made practical use of the resulting data, and suggest that this kind of analysis should also be useful for surveys made by other county-based agencies.
Ragle et al. (Sun,) studied this question.
