Abstract

There is some question whether Cooperative Extension's thrust, image, and personnel orientation are sufficiently flexible to permit it to function effectively in the role ascribed by the Joint USDA/NASULGC Extension Study Committee. A perspective to this conclusion, as it relates to Extension's potential contribution to present-day rural poverty situation, is provided in this paper. This is accomplished by identifying the emphases and describing the settings for two comprehensive national reports (the American Country Life Commission Report of 1909 and the 1967 Report of the National Advisory Commission on Rural Poverty).
