Extension Education on Public Affairs Problems: A Case Study

  • Nichols, Andrew J.

Abstract

Report Introduction: This is a progress report of the genesis and development of Michigan’s Extension Education Program on Public Affairs Problems and their relationship to agriculture. It is a story that covers the circumstances which brought the program into being, the basic decisions made, the problems encountered and the progress made. The effort is now far enough advanced to provide participants and observers with a pattern of development for study and reflections. The story deserves telling because it involves many questions common to Extension work in this field: (1) Why should Extension be concerned with education on public affairs problems? (2) What should be the objectives and scope of such work? (3) How should the Extension Service organize to carry on this function? (4) Whom should Extension try to reach? (5) What teaching methods are appropriate? (6) What is the role of farm organizations? Answers, or partial answers, to these questions appear in the account that follows.
