12. INTERRELATION BETWEEN CITY AND RURAL LIFE.

Author

Steiner, Jesse Frederick

Subjects
RURAL geography, SOCIAL interaction, CITIES & towns, HUMAN settlements, URBAN sociology, LIFE
Abstract

The interrelationship of city and country is a question of vital concern to the rapidly changing modern civilization, and its full discussion would involve consideration of a wide range of issues and problems. In the paper this question is approached from the point of view of its bearing upon the organization and administration of social work in rural districts on a more comprehensive basis than has hitherto proved practicable. During recent years those interested in the improvement of social conditions have recognized more clearly than ever before the need of extending social work programs into small town and open country communities. Thus far results have been disappointing in this field in spite of a few signal successes. It is impossible to promote any far-reaching plan of social organization without encountering the traditional conflict between a city and country, which has wrecked many schemes of social and political reform. An understanding, therefore, of city-country interrelationships becomes essential for the development of a sound policy upon which may be based more adequate and comprehensive social work programs.

13. ACTIVITY LEVEL AS A CONSTITUTIONAL DETERMINANT OF INFANTILE REACTION TO DEPRIVATION.

Subjects
INFANTS, DEPRIVATION (Psychology), LIFE, RESEARCH
Abstract

Vulnerability to deprivation has often been regarded as a function, of constitutional factors, and in this paper an attempt is made to isolate one of these, namely, activity level, and to show its relation to individual differences in the reactions of infants to a deprivation experience. The hypothesis that inactive infants are more likely to be adversely affected than active infants is investigated in the context of a project in which measures for both activity level and vulnerability to deprivation were obtained. The findings indicate a significant relation in support of the hypothesis, and the suggestion is made that, at this period of life, organismic factors may be of greater consequence in determining outcome than such parameters as age or length of deprivation.

Abstract

The article focuses on the book "The Middle of the Journey," by Lionel Trilling. the book presents information about the political commitment of intellectuals. The chief protagonist, John Laskell, the liberal, crossing the perilous Dantean decade in which risks, doubts and challenges of a man's life declare themselves and his personality first begins to contract into limitations and decisions to which it is fated. He is a fortunate young man of the middle class who has disciplined his privileges by an earnest if skeptical liberal faith. He has become, after earlier creative leanings, an authority on housing, so justifying in his own mind the social bearings of his political sympathies.

Abstract

In the article, the author focuses on the cost and standard of living, and plight of the poor in the U.S. All the wonderful things they see or of which they hear are apparently not for them. They have no material, constructive sense. They are not quick at figures, nor are they clever with their hands. They can only think and write, in a way. They see the vast institutions, filled to overflowing, apparently, with the financially interested and capable, but they have not the least idea how to do likewise. They have never earned more than thirty-five dollars a week.

Abstract

This article presents the author's early and childhood experiences. I am twenty-nine years old, and I know that this is the end of a part of my life, the end of youth. Sometimes it seems to me the end of the world's youth too; certainly the Great War has done something to us all. But it is also the beginning of a new phase of life, and the world we live in is so full of swift change and color and meaning that I can hardly keep from imagining the splendid and terrible possibilities of the time to come. A great deal of my boyhood was illness and physical weakness, and I was never really well until my sixteenth year. The beginning of my remembered life was a turmoil of imaginings--formless perceptions of beauty, which broke forth in voluminous verses, sensations of fear, of tenderness of pain.

BOOKS, WIT & humor, LIFE, MYTHOLOGY
Abstract

The article focuses on two books: "Mr. and Mrs. Haddock Abroad" and "The Crazy Fool," by Donald Ogden Stewart. There are men sufficiently acute to recognize the aesthetic principles, which demand that people should laugh at Stewart's latest ventures in humor because "the Haddocks' souls are filled with the tag-ends of modern life and stuffed with the mythology of the daily papers," or even because "Stewart's story is really an excursion into the subconscious of the average 'solid citizen' and his wife." Neither of the books contain the heady stuff of Stewart's earlier books. But at least "The Crazy Fool" is impressionism sufficiently modified to be recognizable both in its achievement and its intent.

The article presents information on a series of articles on various people's and their perspective of the world. The author does not long for a perfect world. It sounds flat. The author remembers reading, some years ago, "Men Like Gods," by K. G. Wells. In that Welisian Utopia everybody was beautiful, polite and shiny. Nature glittered. The roads were, the author believes, made of platinum, or some such high-priced stuff and there was no traffic problem. No corner cop fixed one with a baleful eye as he shamed one before the crowd.

21. Pictures in Prose.

Subjects
NATURE, PICTURES, LIFE, FORESTS & forestry
Abstract

The article focuses on the book "Pictures in Prose," by Aubyn Trevor-Battye. In this volume, which deals with "nature, wild sport, and humble life." Battye has collected some papers which have appeared in "Longman's Magazine" and the "Saturday Review." His title is to some extent misleading, for he is easily moved to verse, and not a few of his pictures are presented in metrical form. The first, and perhaps the best, of his pictures shows the busy life of a trapper and lumberman in a Scandinavian forest, and tells with much pathos how a favorite daughter lost her way and was found by her frantic father killed by one of his own dead-fall traps. Then the scene shifts to England, to the strange little island of Canvey, little known to Londonors.

36. DISCUSSION.

Author

Murphy, Gardner

Subjects
CRITICISM, TERMS & phrases, NAMES, LIFE, CONDUCT of life
Abstract

The author begins with some questions of critique. He stresses what he thinks is the rather unfortunate terminology which other researchers have suggested. They have made a vital and important distinction between groups which they call functionatists and formalists. The author doubts, however, whether form and function permit this sort of contrast Everywhere in nature and in human life function leads to form, and form becomes an epitome of function. The exquisite pattern of a seal's body and movements, the amazing majesty and power of the rhythms of the tiger's tread, are exemplifications of form which have developed through time as exquisitely serving the needs of function. In the same way, a Greek vase or the modern stratoliner derived from the crudities of the plane which first flew for the Wright brothers at Kitty Hawk tells the story of progressive molding of form to meet the needs of function. The term formalism, moreover, suggests, if not arsenic and old lace, at least the dry rot of Miss Havisham's existence in "Great Expectations," the reduction of life to a sterile and arid, and therefore artificial, symmetry. The term formalism has become a "bad word" in many quarters where critics emphasize vitality.

The article examines the recreation profession in a changing society. Today, new technologies have influenced our way of living. According to Greek concept, leisure was for the privileged minority. Technology and urbanization have combined to produce more free time for more people. The increase in leisure has outstripped its former primary functions of restoration and recreation. Man must be educated toward the respectability of leisure, so that free time can be spent without guilt. Sports and other forms of physical activities must find a more respectable role in a changing society.

The seriously ill, infants and those managing to live on a subsistence level therefore have no leisure time. Their energies are devoted to the task of living, rest and play are only occasions for recuperation and preparation. Leisure is different from recreational time, in that the latter is a period when men are readied for work through relaxation and rest.

Naturalism as a philosophic outlook is repeatedly dismissed, with varying degrees of vehemence and condescension, as insensitive to genuine spiritual values and to the grandeurs and tragedies of human existence. And it is almost fashionable in some quarters to blame nearly all the current ills of on the habit of thought which takes its standards of evidence and truth from modern science. An adequate scheme of life, according to Singer, is a dedicated life, one which involves the subordination of human desires to a supreme objective that is valid for all men at all times.
