INFLUENCE OF A SINGLE FARM COMMUNITY. 



21 



The destinations of the 500 students who settled in the county 

 outside the larger Belleville community were arranged according to 

 townships. It was found that there were representatives from the 

 Belleville community in each of the 22 townships of Jefferson County, 

 as is shown in Table I. The two most popular points of migration 

 in the county were found to be Adams, the nearest town, and Water- 

 town, the county seat and largest city in the county.
