4.9/5 (33853 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from American Charities: A Study in Philanthropy and Economics On the appearance of Warner's "American Charities" fourteen years ago, its unique character was at once recognized. For that work is the first thoroughgoing scientific treatment of the most difficult and perhaps the most important of the ever widening group of sociological arts to which happily Professor Henderson has given the generic name of "social technology." It possesses an enduring, a vital quality which in the judgment of scholars has already won for it the rank of "classic in philanthropy." With remarkable clearness Dr. Warner perceived the new dynamic tendency which was destined soon to revolutionize economic and sociological thought. In the outset with trenchant phrase he exposes the sterility of the prevalent laissez faire dogma. "People are tired of the gospel of inaction," he exclaims, "and the teacher has been compelled to heed their demand for guidance in the doing of constructive work... Students must be trained in a more generous political economy than that of Senior and Miss Martineau," if they are to achieve success in organized philanthropy. Therefore the time is ripe for a new edition of the "American Charities." It is significant that in the statement of principles no essential change is required. The book deserves to be perpetuated because of its perennial scientific quality. This is the more remarkable considering that only two years ago, in Ward's epoch-making "Applied Sociology," appeared the first systematic discussion of the basic law which must govern all wise effort for social reform.
