Book Description
Excerpt from An Outline for the Study of Current Political, Economic, and Social Problems: With Bibliographies Whether or not the women of Indiana will be granted the franchise in the near future, they are certain to exercise a potent influence upon the moral and social conditions, and even upon legislation and the administration of law in the State. The saying attributed to Henry Bergson that in the public view the American woman is either "a drudge or a toy" is evidently not applicable to the clubwomen of Indiana. There is among them an eager open-mindedness, a spirit of inquiry, a desire for information concerning the causes of unfavorable conditions in the social life and efficient methods of improving them. There is an awakened sense of responsibility, a consciousness of power, and a willing disposition to give their services freely. They understand that long-continued practices, deeply rooted prejudices, and strongly intrenched interests will not yield to merely emotional appeals. They know that reason based upon knowledge gives power, and they are eager to acquire such a knowledge of facts, practices, and principles as will give them the necessary strength and power. The Extension Division of Indiana University, recognizing this attitude of mind and appreciating its opportunity to serve, offers this Outline for the Study of Political, Economic, and Social Problems in the hope that it may stimulate thought and direct study along lines of practical value to the several communities and to the State at large. It is designed to furnish a program of reading extending over a period of several years. Any attempt to cover the whole field in a single year would lead only to superficiality and affectation of knowledge. Systematic reading is necessary to acquire and retain any knowledge of the social sciences that is really worth while. The habit of "skipping about" in one's reading affords neither discipline nor information. It is far better to understand thoroughly the causal relations within a certain field than to have even considerable information which is disconnected and incoherent. Even clubs devoted chiefly to the study and enjoyment of the fine arts may find a place in their programs for the consideration of the relation of their particular art to the life of the people. For the highest art can be developed in Indiana only when a considerable part of the people comes to have a high appreciation of it.
