Abstract	Problems unique to social workers in rural areas prompted the Southern Regional Education Board to set up a task force to focus on an educational program specifically for rural social work practitioners. The task force report (encompassing differences in rural farm, rural nonfarm, and rural industrial areas) includes educational objectives, special competency areas, curriculum models, and teaching resources necessary to provide education for social workers in the rural South. Summaries of two meetings on rural social work held in New Orleans, La., and Atlanta, Ga., in 1971 outline differences in urban and rural social work as well as curriculum content needed for rural practice. Statements developed on educational assumptions and objectives and a guideline for doing a rural profile (analysis of services, geography, size, and people) are presented. Two papers describe rural social work programs at West Virginia University and University of Tennessee at Martin, and another covers the philosophy of an Appalachian Studies Program, along with its syllabus and reading lists. Remaining papers deal with rural field experience, education for rural program development, social service needs and delivery, and a proposed course in rural human services, including bibliography. There is a three-page list of additional reference material and resources on rural topics. (RS)
