Excerpt from American Social Problems: An Introduction to the Study of Society
Democracy and liberty for all are not assured until every individual in society realizes his duty toward other members of his group. The individual and the The new group are reciprocal. Each exists for the benefit m of the other and their interests must harmonize if social welfare is to be attained. The monk of the Middle Ages, immured in his hermit cell, might work out his own in dividual salvation while the, social group the world around him went perhaps to perdition. The twen tieth century ideal, however, is that of rendering social service, and he is greatest in society who best serves his fellows. This modern ideal is the antithesis of medieval isolation. It is the ideal of socialization the twentieth century spirit of Christianity.
The Study of Society. Since the dawn of civilization man has sought an explanation of the world about him. The early literature of each race, such as the my thologies of the Chaldeans and of the Greeks, has its own national and characteristic explanation. Existing institutions and codes of law are explained in terms of some mythical lawgiver like the Spartan Lycurgus. From the days of ancient Israel is heard the story of oppression, and prophets of old from Moses to Amos lift up their voices in protest against the social evils of the day. Each age has dreamed its own Utopia which the march of cen tuties has not yet brought to pass. Among the early Greeks, Plato imagined an ideal Republic in which the just man could live in happy security; while the drones worked, the soldiers policed and the philosophers ruled. He was followed by the more practical and less idealistic Aristotle who, as tutor of Alexander the Great, had an opportunity to visit the ancient world and make a comparative study of the constitutions of the various city states existing at that time. In his book called Poli tics appears the oft-quoted statement that man is a political animal, a being to whom political association is natural.

Excerpt from American Social Problems: An Introduction to the Study of Society
The stress of modern education upon the social sciences has become increasingly evident during the present decade to all students of secondary education. Whether it be the historical, the political or the economic side that is emphasized, the tendency of such study is always to bring to light the outstanding features of American civilization. In fact, it is now everywhere recognized that the very existence and permanency of our institutions is conditioned upon a sound understanding of present American problems.
This book has grown out of the attempt to socialize one phase of secondary education and to bring it into harmony with present day demands. It is designed to meet the needs of an elementary course in the study of society - especially of American society. A conscious attempt has been made to emphasize the social aspect of American life, rather than the political or the economic. Although the three phases naturally overlap and are in many cases inseparably interwoven, the main stress has always been placed upon the social point of view. This has been consistently emphasized and logically developed in the discussion of the problems presented.
The method of treatment has been evolutionary and historical, because growth and development is the very essence of social institutions.
