To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Reckoned in purchasing power, less real pay was given in each county during the second period than in the first. The amount of real pay declined 7 per cent in Windsor and nearly 16 per cent in Tompkins County. In Windsor County 64 per cent and in Tomp- kins County 72 per cent of the ministers w^ere receiving less real pay in the second period than were their pred- ecessors in the first period. In Windsor County 34 out of 53 ministers, and in Tompkins County 21 out of 29 ministers received in pu...rchasing power smaller salaries than those of twenty years before. In view of such facts as these it is but natural that in both counties the educational equipment of the minis- try should be inadequate to meet the needs of the present day. In Windsor County 75 per cent and in SUMMARY OF RESULTS 15 Tompkins County 85 per cent of the ministers have never had a full course of seven years' preparation in col- lege and theological seminary. In both counties the proportion of ministers who are foreign born is so great as to raise the question whether enough American young men enter the rural ministry.
