ABSTRACT
If one looks first at the data on the basic resource of the village, its people, impressions are apt to be mixed. Somewhat older and more literate than one might expect, the population also seems to be growing at an alarmingly high rate. While it would be incorrect to assume that it is a mobile population, there is evidence that mobility has taken place in the past and will probably continue to do so in the future under proper conditions. This, at least, is the view which the population data can give us, to be supplemented in due course by whatever can be said of the character, attitudes, and expectations of villagers based on subjective judgments and impressions of various kinds. It is the quantified data, however, which give an initial overview of the village population as a whole.
