Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education and Social Progress Education, not in the old narrow sense of school teaching, but as comprising all the forces that develop the powers and form the minds and characters of the young, is now recognised as the most important method of social intervention, and the most powerful means by which democracy can secure the realisation of its ideals. As a consequence, there is growing up a new body of educational literature less specialised in substance and less narrow in aim and interest than that which has hitherto been common. It is the aim of this volume to present some of those wider aspects of education, and to show the part that education, properly interpreted and exercised, may play in removing the barriers to social progress, and in im proving the condition of the whole body politic.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Basis for Social Progress Criticisms of the principles promulgated herein, which have been as freely invited as offered, have dwelt most with the novelty of the plan proposed. Conservatism must ever play its part. Yet in other fields of activity in America novelty has scarcely been an insurmountable barrier to progress. If our proposal be a novelty, as it has been heralded by those educators who have been approached for eriti cism, it is novel only in the field of education. The principles are ancient ones, long operative in every branch of scientific research. The newness lies, not in the principles, but in the application of those principles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Social Development and Education With a view to clarifying the discussion throughout, and to economizing the time and energy of the general reader as well as the student, a marginal analysis and a detailed analytical index of the entire material have been made. Also the more important principles developed in the text have been summarized at the end of each chapter. Special attention is called to the Exercises and Problems given in the last two chapters. These relate to the various subjects considered in the book; and they are designed to stimulate the student to test the principles developed, and to extend their application in every direction. They are intended further to suggest many phases of social develop ment and education which have hardly been even touched upon in this volume. The lists given on each chapter have been chosen from a large number which have arisen in dis cussing the different topics with organizations of parents and teachers, and classes Of university students. Only those exercises and problems have been selected which upon trial have proven to incite observation and effective reﬂection on the part of students, as well as those interested in the prac tical care and culture Of childhood and youth. The author has found them to be of considerable service in arousing the interest of the reader, and in making real and vital the con elusions reached in the text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Educational Progress of the Year (1903-1905) One of the most important events which has taken place in recent educational history is the visit of the Mosely Commis sion of England to this country in October, November, and December, 1903. The two reports which were the result of this visit, one made by the Education Commission and the other by the Industrial Commission. Have created intense interest both in England and in this country, and are regarded here as an eminently fair and just criticism of the state of public education in the United States. Mr. Alfred Mosely. A Mem ber of Parliament and a man prominent in the commercial and' financral world of England, brought to this country twenty seven educational experts to inspect and report upon various features of the educational and social life of the United States. Mr. Mosely frankly states that his inspiration for this un wonted enterprise was his admiration for the brilliant exploits of American engineers in the development of the diamond mines of South Africa some fifteen or twenty years ago. The success of these engineers. He says, turned my atten tion to the United States, and some years ago I paid my first visit there for the purpose of seeing what sort of country it was that was responsible for sending so many level-headed men to the Cape. So far as I was able to ascertain the form of education given in the United States was responsible for much of its success, and I returned home determined if possible to get together a party of experts to visit the country and test the soundness of my conclusions.

The historical and practical questions which are there sketched arise whenever an endeavour is made to relate education to social life. There are many people for whom social betterment has a powerful fascination. They respond to its claims with conspicuous enthusiasm. But if account be taken of the time and energy which social benefactors spend, and also of the net results of their labours, it must be frankly confessed that disappointment is often experienced by most of them. They attempt much, but little is accomplished. Why is the rate of social progress so slow? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poverty and Social Progress A scientific study of poverty shows how fatuous are most of the measures whose familiar shibboleths are philanthropy, social service, moral reform, and religion. An effective pro gram for the prevention of poverty cannot be devised and car ried out until an intensive and accurate analysis of the mani fold causes of poverty has been made. Such a study requires an extensive knowledge of human nature and social organization. It is obviously impossible to make an exhaustive study within the limits of one book. But I have endeavored to give a com prehensive survey of the problems of poverty which shows the one-sided character of many of the explanations of its causation and which will at least furnish the starting point for an effective program of prevention. Chapters III - V, inclusive, discuss the biological factors in the causation of poverty. Readers not interested in this aspect of the subject may omit these chapters and yet not be seriously inconvenienced in reading the remainder of the book. While all of the important causes of poverty are discussed, it goes without saying that the outstanding ones are the economic factors, since poverty is primarily an economic condition. Con sequently the discussion centers in the main around the two fundamental economic problems, namely, those of the production and the distribution of wealth. This book should be useful to many persons who are interested in these important social questions. It furnishes data of great value for the solution of many of the problems of citizenship and statesmanship. It is also suitable for use as a textbook for college and university courses on charities, poverty, pauperism, dependency, social pathology, etc. It will give the student an insight into the nature and causes of these great social evils and will furnish a basis for a more detailed study of special topics within this field.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Education in Recent Sociology: A Series of Seven Reprints From Education, March to December, 1921, Indicating the Contributions of Sociologists to the Science of Education Chapter III. A search for the means of social progress is the task undertaken by Todd. In a lengthy definition, progress is seen to be a complex of many factors, all centering about human well-being as their aim. A prerequisite consideration in any program of progress is the character of human nature, that is, of the self. Fortunately, human nature is found to be plastic and adaptable, rich in variety and possi bility. One has many possible selves; which of them shall dominate is mainly a matter of the social environment. A type of personality which is not exploitive, nor even adaptive, but contributive, is essential to progress. It will be secured only by a comprehensive system of social education, which is therefore the means to progress. Page 21. Chapter IV. Ellwood writes from the viewpoint of social psychology. The social life is essentially psychic and sociology is essentially a psychic science. Social life is therefore to be interpreted in such terms as instinct, acquired habit, mental attitude, suggestion, values, senti ment, ideas, emotion, intelligence. It is likewise such psychic data with which education is concerned. In fact, the human social process itself is essentially an educative process, a consideration which is basal to the construction of an educational sociology. Education is found to be the ultimate method of social organization and of social progress. Good citizenship requires that the social studies be central in the school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Roots of Vocational Education, 1931: A Survey of the Origins of Trade and Industrial Education Found in Industry, Education, Legislation and Social Progress America today is one of the foremost Of industrial nations. Among the other nations of the world few can compete with it in the quantity and quality of industrial products. Even after the domestic wants have been satisfied, America can produce to such an extent that foreign markets can be supplied, if not dominated. In reaching this pinnacle Of industrial supremacy, America has undergone tremendous changes since its discovery. From a vast trackless wilderness in the sixteenth century it has reached a position in the twentieth century comparable, if not superior, to the positions held by the more advanced of the ancient na tions of Europe. The great changes which have occurred have been felt in all spheres of America's activities. Industry, politics, education, religion, philosophy, and social life have evolved in this short space in an amazing manner. Even today change is ever tak ing place. A cross section of the schools of modern America presents a vastly different picture from a similar survey at the close of the seventeenth century. The development of the country's natural resources, the influences of the Industrial Revolution, the Opening of the great west and the evolution of industry have left their mark upon education as well as upon the other departments of social life.
