Excerpt from The Treatment of the Problem of Capital and Labor in Social-Study Courses in the Churches: A Dissertation, Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Department of Sociology
It is proposed in this thesis to discuss one phase of a rather remarkable development among many Of the Protestant Churches in America today. This development is related in part to the general progress of educational method and in part to the modern rise of social science; it is partially due to the insistent demands made by the laboring classes in recent years for social readjustment. Modern educational method including in its sphere the churches, has effected the present great interest and activity in religious education. Social science has attempted to infuse into the teaching of the Sunday school some of the results of modern sociological investigation. Changed industrial conditions have made it necessary in many cases for the Churches to readjust their methods and programs in an attempt to bring guidance, peace and religious healing to a new society. These three movements, more or less unconsciously combining, have resulted in many of the church denominations in the introduction of social study courses dealing with problems of civics, industry and soci ology.
