THE STUDY GROUP IDEA 
 
 Its purpose is to get people to think in terms of the 
 nation and of the world ; and to clarify the meaning, prin- 
 ciples and aims of democracy. 
 
 Its plan is to make an original study of some of the 
 problems of reconstruction so that we may form intelligent 
 judgments and arrive at reasoned conclusions. 
 
 Its method is to outline the problems that most need 
 consideration and to indicate the best available materials 
 for study. 
 
 Such study groups may now be formed, and ought to be 
 formed, among all classes of people and in all communities 
 throughout the nation ; for the American people are able 
 and anxious to think through for themselves the problems 
 of reconstruction, if only they are supplied with the helps 
 to guide their thinking. 
 
 Through tragedy and pain a point has been reached in 
 human progress when, with resolute thinking and sincere 
 purpose, a new world order may be established. 
 
 HOW TO ORGANIZE A STUDY GROUP AND TO USE 
 THE OUTLINE 
 
 Read this with care, and follow directions. 
 
 These studies are drawn up on the basis of victory for 
 America and the nations with w^hich we are associated in 
 the war. But the war will not be won when peace is 
 declared. It will not be won until war is made forever 
 impossible. That means the removal of the causes of war, 
 and the overthrow of all the forces of injustice and 
 unrighteousness that prey on the life of humanity. The 
 world will not be "safe for democracy" until, within the 
 nation as well as between nations, liberty, fraternity, and 
 equality are actually realized. 
 
 After the war comes the period of reconstruction. We 
 must build a new world, or this war will have become 
 
murder on a colossal scale. But while war unites a people, 
 reconstruction divides. The social problems within the 
 nation are harder to meet than a foreign foe. If we blunder 
 into the reconstruction period, we will blunder through it. 
 The right sort of leadership is imperative. And if in every 
 community throughout the land there is a group of men 
 and women of good will, who have made a thorough study 
 of the problems which must be dealt with, the leadership 
 will be ready. 
 
 The problems stated in this outline have been selected 
 by a score of persons having more or less expert knowl- 
 edge of social questions. Under each problem the points 
 for study and the materials to be used were suggested by 
 experts working in that particular field. Some of these 
 problems have been created by the war, others have been 
 lifted by the war into a different class. They are outstand- 
 ing problems that must be solved ; none of them can now 
 be evaded as they have been in the past. 
 
 It may be that the first reaction which the outline will 
 produce in some minds is that it is too condensed. In fact 
 a demand has been made for a text book to accompany the 
 outline, but it was overruled because it would require a book 
 by a specialist on each subject, and because at this stage of 
 the world's evolution no one would be willing, even in his 
 special line, to state final judgments. We are not ready for 
 final judgments. Now is the time when everyone must do 
 some hard thinking and close study for himself. Those who 
 are too indifferent or indolent to do this will find little to 
 interest them in the course of study here proposed. Recon- 
 struction will have to get on without them. Besides, the 
 materials cited under each head and selected by authorities 
 in their own fields are the text book to be used in the study. 
 They do not pretend to be more than partial judgments, but 
 they are the best available at the moment of printing. 
 
 On more acquisitive minds the reaction may be that the 
 
outline attempts too much. One is staggered by the array 
 of problems. But these are only the most immediate prob- 
 lems that have to be dealt with. Others press for atten- 
 tion. This is only a beginning, but we must begin. No 
 one of the problems here stated can be adequately discussed 
 in a single evening, but only a general survey of the task of 
 reconstruction is intended, a general but thoughtful survey. 
 Later the same groups should give extended study to the 
 questions in which they feel most interest and responsibility. 
 Soldiers say that shell shock is produced only when they 
 do not know the shell is coming. If one hears the whine of 
 the shell his nervous system prepares for the explosion. It 
 is only when the rattle of one's own machine gun, or absorp- 
 tion in some other activity, leaves him unwarned of the 
 coming shell that he suffers shock. So the people of the 
 world must prepare their minds and hearts for what is com- 
 ing. We do not know what is ahead of us. The din of the 
 war has made many of us deaf to the yet more difficult de- 
 mands of peace. The study group idea will at least prepare 
 us against shock. It will do more, for the destiny of a 
 republic is decided wherever two or three are met together 
 and talk things over. Russia is now suffering from the shell 
 shock of democracy. Other autocratic peoples of the world 
 are reeling from the impact of democratic ideas. Even 
 democratic nations will be spared only if they are ready for 
 w^hat is coming. America must get ready. 
 
 Study is a means to decision, thinking to action. No 
 suggestion is made in the outline as to what needs to be 
 done in the community or the nation or the world, for when 
 people have thought things through they can decide for 
 themselves what must be done. When they know and care 
 enough they will find a way to right every wrong. 
 
 The outline is designed for churches and synagogues, 
 Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations 
 in colleges and cities, community groups and industrial 
 
groups, college women's clubs, and all organizations of 
 men and women who wish to familiarize themselves with 
 the next task confronting the nation. We are informed 
 from Washington that the administration is favorable to 
 such studies of the reconstruction period. 
 
 The best results will be gotten by a picked group who 
 unite to do earnest and consecutive work. Such a group 
 may be organized in the following manner : Let some inter- 
 ested person or persons call together from ten to fifty men 
 and women in any church, society, or community. Lay 
 before them the need of a better understanding of recon- 
 struction problems and the plan of study here outlined. 
 Those who are willing to attend regularly and to prepare 
 papers or do original work as requested will form the class. 
 All others should be barred. The group should not be 
 smaller than five or larger than forty. If more want to 
 pursue the study, form another class. 
 
 Having formed the group, choose a leader. A teacher, 
 minister, or any person accustomed to study, will make a 
 good leader. Meet in the evening, that there may be ample 
 time for discussion. The studies are suitable for Sunday, 
 where that is the most convenient time. Once in two weeks 
 is a good interval for preparation. Weekly meetings may 
 be better if members of the group are willing to speed up 
 their work, for these problems cannot wait once peace is 
 declared. While the studies number thirteen, more meet- 
 ings may be required, as some of the topics will lead to wide 
 discussion. 
 
 Follow the seminar method. Let some one be appointed 
 to report on each of the sub-topics into which the main 
 problems are divided. In some cases the leader may want 
 to combine two of the sub-topics, but ordinarily one is 
 enough for each person to look up if thorough work is done. 
 Make the assignments at least two meetings ahead. In 
 reporting one may read a paper or give orally and briefly 
 
the results of his investigation. Under each sub-topic will 
 be found suggestions as to some of the points that ought 
 to be covered, but they are in no way exhaustive. After 
 each investigator has reported there should be a period 
 for discussion, or this may be reserved until all have been 
 heard. 
 
 Carefully selected and annotated materials are cited to 
 help in the study. Some of them may be had free of 
 charge from national societies or from the Government at 
 Washington. No postage need be sent for Government 
 publications. Most of the books and magazine articles cited 
 may be found at any public library. Study groups remote 
 from libraries may want to purchase books for the use of 
 the group. Also in many cases books are furnished free 
 by state libraries. 
 
 Let none be discouraged by the extent of the bibli- 
 ography. Several authorities are given in each case in the 
 hope that at least one may be available, and in order that 
 the student may have opportunity to choose. But excel- 
 lent work may be done by groups who study these topics 
 independently, and discuss them among themselves with- 
 out the aid of any outside authorities. Also the outline will 
 be a valuable guide for individual readers and students who 
 are unable to join a study group. 
 
 The outline may be used at church week-night meetings 
 and in adult Bible classes, and some church publication 
 societies are working it over into a quarter's lessons for 
 adult classes. But the results will be poor unless inde- 
 pendent work is done by the members of these groups. No 
 one is wise enough to give a final opinion on these problems. 
 In the outline w^e have tried to avoid even the suggestion 
 of conclusions. What is needed is that everyone should 
 think things through for himself and form his own judg- 
 ments. The very essence of democracy is the belief that 
 
the mind of man can be trusted and that the human soul 
 will choose the best when it sees it. 
 
 In the country and in small towns it will be well to 
 form a community group, including churches and other 
 organizations. What is desired is that in every community 
 throughout the land the most thoughtful persons and those 
 who love their country best shall set themselves with open 
 mind and honest purpose to the study of reconstruction 
 problems. It must be real study to be of value. 
 
 The future history of humanity depends on the result 
 of this war and on the reconstruction which follows. That 
 depends on the thought and purpose of the average man, 
 and his understanding and control of the forces at work. 
 Thus, in a measure, civilization rests upon each one of us 
 and upon the intelligence and sympathy with which we 
 enter on the days just ahead. 
 
 The bibliography is a product of many hands, but the larger part 
 of the work was done by the experts of the Russell Sage Foundation 
 Library. 
 
 Unless otherwise specified, National Societies and Bureaus are to 
 be addressed Washington, D. C. Order Bureau publications by number. 
 
 English material, both books and pamphlets, may be had from 
 P. S. King & Son, 2 and 4 Great Smith Street, London, England. 
 Orders should be sent at one time for the study group and well in 
 advance of the date required. 
 
 Social and reconstruction problems are discussed from week to 
 week in The Survey, New York, whose files should be examined for 
 up-to-date information. Each group should subscribe for one or more 
 copies of this paper where it is not now received. Subscription $4.00; 
 groups of five or more $3.25 a year; $L50 for six months. 
 
 Each member of the study group should have a copy 
 
 of this outline.

 stated in the preface — "The real cause of the war is to be found far 
 back of the summer of 1914; it is to be found in the new economic 
 and financial forces set in motion in the closing years of the last 
 century." The author covers the ground of his contention very thor- 
 oughly, taking up the territorial aggressions of the various powers, 
 particularly those of Great Britain, France, and Germany, in turn, 
 and with seeming impartiality. He sounds a warning to the United 
 States.

 "Re-building of Europe; a Survey of Forces and Conditions," by 
 D. J. Hill. N. Y. Century Co., 1917. $1.50. Shows that the countries 
 of Europe have inherited international traditions that were originated 
 in an age when military force was the basis of state existence. The 
 propositions to which this ideal gave birth were never rejected even at 
 The Hague Conventions, the nations preferring to trust one another 
 rather than to repudiate these age-long traditions. It was felt that 
 a direct blow aimed at this basic fault would precipitate war. The 
 vital necessity for destroying this enemy in the Great War settlement, 
 the author shows in this most valuable study.

 The problems of raw materials, trade routes and for- 
 eign investments. Free trade or tariff barriers between na- 
 tions? Preferential tariffs? International commission 
 against monopoly in raw materials and to secure just 
 distribution. Freedom of the seas — what it means. Free 
 access to the sea for all nations. Concessions to build 
 railroads in foreign lands, not to carry power to monopolize 
 trade of the region. Shall foreign investors assume their 
 own risk or be protected by their governments? If govern- 
 ments protect foreign loans should they be made on about 
 the same terms as domestic loans? International guardian- 
 ship of backward peoples, as, for example, Africa.

 Monthly, V. 121, pp. 521-25, April, 1918). Written in contradiction to 
 a previous article entitled "Peter Sat by the Fire Warming Himself," 
 by J. H. Odell. Mr. Atv^^ater claims that in addition to supporting the 
 Government ably in every possible v^ay since the United States entered 
 the w^ar, the Church at home through the ideals and principles vvrhich she 
 has inculcated is largely responsible for the excellence of our fighting 
 force abroad. Both these articles are well worth reading. The one by 
 Mr. Odell appeared in the Atlantic Monthly for February, 1918.

 tion on a gigantic scale. What the Government is now 
 doing. The comparative strength of military necessity and 
 social responsibiUty as motives in war and peace. Can pub- 
 lic spirit and religious feeling do as much for us as fear does 
 in time of war? Are we under less obligation to fit men 
 to live than to fit them to fight? How society may per- 
 form its duty to the handicapped, the vicious, the poor.

 service. 
 
 "Community Center: What It Is and How to Organize It," by 
 H. E. Jackson. N. Y. Macmillan, 1918. $1.00. In an illuminating 
 preface the author speaks of the desire of all thoughtful men and 
 women to contribute their small part toward the great work of recon- 
 struction. He believes that if each community will cooperate and 
 
 40 
 
organize according to its peculiar needs the problem as it affects the 
 country as a whole will be much nearer solution. He tenders this 
 little book of practical suggestion. 
 
 "Fear God in Your Own Village," by Richard Morse. N. Y. Holt, 
 1918. $1.30. The personal experience of one man who, in five years, 
 inspired a feeling of social cooperation and universal brotherhood 
 among the people of his parish, is an interesting example of what the

 "Love for the Battle-torn Peoples," by J. L. Jones. Chicago. Unity 
 Pub. Co., 1916. .75. Written before the entry of the United States 
 into the war, this book presents an anti-war viewpoint. Takes the 
 warring nations one by one, discussing their merits, quite apart from 
 the war, with the hope of future unity expressed. In the first chapter 
 the author pleads that the principles of love and tenderness rather 
 than those of power and might may prevail. The two final chapters 
 
 41 
 
urge the increase of brotherhood between all peoples, with a particular 
 call to America because of her unusual opportunities. 
 
 "Moral Equivalent of War," by William James. American Assn. 
 for International Conciliation, 1910. Although believing that war is 
 evil, author states that at the time of writing "war has been the only 
 force that can discipline a whole community, and, until a better disci- 
 pline is organized, war must have its way." An equivalent is sug- 
 gested, in this illuminating pamphlet, by which the young men of a 
 nation may be conscripted for other than military service. 
 
 "Social Scientist's Bit," by R. L. Finney (in American Journal of 
 Sociology, V. 23, pp. 754-62, May, 1918). An urgent plea to all workers 
 along sociological lines to prepare the way for reconstruction, in order
