Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine some of the factors and influences regarding a proposed school-community recreation program for the Franklin Union School District and to determine the need, if any, of setting up an adequate program to meet some of the recreational needs of this rural community with the school as the leading agency. As no program of recreation is offered in the Franklin Area, it will be the purpose of this study to (1) determine the feelings of the people in regard to recreation in this community; (2) find out if the community feels a need for recreational activities to augment their daily work; (3) point out some values and benefits which can be derived from recreational pursuits; (4) point out the relationship of a good physical .education program to a part of a possible recreation program.
