of farms of 25 square miles in extent, the relation of which to the 
academy is constantly such that the academy records are a good index 
of the adolescent life of the community. And in the larger community 
of 225 square miles, the academy records cover so large a percentage 
of the adolescent life on the farms that it is a fair index of the char- 
acter and movements of its adolescents. Because of this intimate 
relation of the farms to the academy from 1826 to 1920, it is deemed

Fig. 8. — Home farm distribution of students from farms who migrated from Belleville eommunity after 
attending the academy. Aftgrants to county, State, Nation, and foreign lands are included. The 
migrants represented here are, for the most part, young men and women in late teens or early twenties at

which has been considered practical for students to travel back and
