Lancaster Farming, Saturday, November 25, 1972 Study Town Different Attitudes Contrary to popular opinion, rural and urban society have not become a “melted pot,” sociologists at The Pennsylvania State University report. Studies over a 23 year period show that, if anything, differences among rural-urban attitudes are stronger now than in previous years. The studies analyzed high school sophomores in 1947, 1960, and 1970. Directing the current analysis were Dr. Fern K. Willits, Dr. Robert C. Bealer, and Dr. Donald M. Crider of the depart ment of agricultural economics and rural sociology at Penn State.

Reinnolds Shows Rural, Youths Have there are presently wider ranges in attitudes between persons from farms, rural nonfarm areas, and towns than in previous years. The results, the sociologists affirm, show the need to continue to recognize distinctions between rural and urban ideas and behavior in working with people. The high school students came from identical geographical areas of the state in 1947, 1960, and 1970. Questions concerned church attendance, divorce, drinking, smoking, card playing, Sunday movies, Sabbath labor, idling in town, staying out late, failure in school, use of money, and use of cosmetics.

This was obvious for the 1960 and 1970 period when changes were most rapid. Of the 12 items surveyed, only attitudes toward tobacco and failure in school remained as firm in 1970 as they had been in 1947. Publicity linking smoking to lung cancer was considered responsible for objections to smoking. Russia’s launching of the first Sputnik, taken as a sign of inferior U. S. technology and education, was believed to produce a firm objection to permissiveness regarding failure in school.
