The two go hand in hand, the condi- tions which dictate the means of promoting the ideal in men's lives, and the ideal gradually affecting the conditions. Therefore no small part of our effectiveness as Christian workers lies in our eagerness to be informed as to facts, conditions, and our ability to conform our service thereto. Among Association men there is a widespread feeling that we might do our work better in certain directions if we better understood today's life. Notably is this true of the life of wage earners, who find themselves in the midst of social problems of vital concern. Any presentation of the Christian ideal that can be made to this group must begin with a sympathetic effort to understand their problems and to bring about a solution of them just to all concerned. This is practical religion, and furthermore, often must precede any other religious service. Social service is religious. These same things are true of our relation to any other group of men. It was with this in mind that a number of Association men met in the Young Men's Christian Association Building in Toledo, Ohio, in October, 1906, and gave three days to the dis- cussion of some of the problems involved. At the conclusion of the discussions, it was thought wise to form an organization. Therefore, there was organized "The Society for the Promotion of Social Service." The purpose is to promote intelligent and effective service among Wage Earners, or in any group where such service promises the furthering of the Kingdom of God. About three hundred men joined the new organization. The following pages record the papers, addresses and resolutions of the first Conference of the Society held in Niagara Falls, Janu- ary 8-9, 1908. SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE 5 The Foreign Worker and His Needs PETER ROBERTS, PH D The foreigri-born in the country today number between sixteen and seventeen millions, or from 18 to 20 per cent of the total population. Of these, thirteen millions were born in countries where the English language is not spoken. Fully half of these are males of voting age and almost all of them are em- ployed in industries requiring manual labor. All non-English-speaking peoples, however, are not equal in intellectual power, previous training, and industrial efficiency, but all, soon after landing, are conscious that in this land of opportunity, intellect is power, discipline is condemnation, and wages are the measure of a man's worth. I. THE SQUARE DEAL How can the Association help the man coming into a foreign country and anxious to improve his lot ? Give him a square deal. He deserves it and will appreciate it. If he does not get it, he will not forget — the foreigner has a good memory. Leave this man to the conscienceless and pitiless greed of sharps in commerce and crooks in industries, and the seeds of strife and revenge are sown. If he pays for a first-class seat, do not huddle him into a bag- gage car. If the American pays 5c for a ride, do not charge him 50c. If he does the work that is worth $1.50 a day it is un- democratic to pay $1.25. He should not spend his first nights in a car, depot, or mine breach. The "American Brotherhood" stands for the square deal. Its aim is to enlist a million men having debts of kindness to pay, and convinced that justice and peace are cardinal virtues in this land. II. SHELTERING HOUSES FOR IMMIGRANTS Thousands come to our country as sheep without a shepherd. Is it surprising that the wolves catch them? These people want lodging and meals at reasonable rates without creeping discom- fort while waiting for word from friends. They want in New York City a house of all nations, thoroughly sanitary, with simple 6 SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE equipment, and so managed that the stamp of the dollar will not be uppermost. Such an exhibition of practical religion, in sight of the port where 80 per cent of the immigrants land, would, each year, shatter the insidious idea dormant in the minds of thousands of immigrants that there are more crooks than saints in the ports of landing in America. Immigrant houses should also be built at distributing points inland from which thousands scatter to the surrounding country or find employment in the city. While the need for this social service has been seen by many leaders in Association work, the Young Women's Christian Association is moving more rapidly than are we to meet those needs. Until such houses are built some immigrants will visit As- sociation buildings. But the servants of Mammon and Bachus go to them, meet the boats and trains, and by their cunning catch these gullible men. It is there the agents of justice and mercy should be. Christian service of the highest form is to save foreigners from the clutch of these heartless city vampires. It can only be rendered by men of Christian character. III. INDUSTRIAL NEED The prime need of these men is a knowledge of the English language. Not all of them feel the need of it, and some of them aspire to nothing higher than the commonest labor and lowest living conditions. Among all peoples are those of stolid lives, having few wants and no prospects. Most foreigners, how- ever, know the commercial value of the English language and are anxious to learn it. Those having command of English are favorites of foremen and obtain higher wages under more favor- able industrial conditions. A superintendent of a steel and wire plant, when asked, "have you any foreigners here" replied, "yes, but they all speak English ; we do not want any other kind." The brightest, most ambitious foreigners, desire to learn English. These leaders among their own countrymen the Asso- ciation should instruct, for it will mean an advantageous position secured in years to come. Many Associations are doing good work. Classes in the public schools are possible or we may serve other agencies inter- ested in them. SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE 7 IV. SOCIAL LIFE Housing conditions among foreigners in industrial centers are shameful, with crowding and its comcomitants of filth, dis- ease, drunkenness and immorality. All rules of sanitation and decency are broken, and huddled together, all hope of purifying and elevating their lives is nil. Their ignorance of our laws causes hundreds of them to be arrested by police officers. These petty vices and crimes pass out of their lives as soon as they understand our country and learn something of its language. They are also employed under wholly new conditions, under pressure greater than in the fatherland. Their physical strength breaks down, and they prop it with stimulants, hence the large num.ber of saloons among them, reacting upon the home and bringing high infant mortality. Christian service by the Association can be rendered along the lines above suggested. We can teach them the danger of stimulants, a better understanding of city ordinances, and can work for a better environment. t. BELId^IOUS LIFE Americans do not all agree as to the drapery of religion, but we all agree upon the essentials of religious life. The foreigner is religious. He may be said to be too religious. In the lives of many of them much superstition prevails. In many communities the evil eye, the Egyptian secret, the sorcerer's power and the witch's curse are believed in. Ceremonies and rites are performed, which an intelligent conception of the Chris- tian religion, be it Catholic or Protestant, must condemn. The task of aiding these people to a better conception of Christian manhood and womanhood requires judgment and discretion. Proselyting has not been in the program of the Association at any time and will not be in its activity among the foreigners. Our aim is to make better men and thus secure better workmen and better fathers. If we succeed in this, the church of God, both Catholic and Protestant, will be aided. 8 SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE "What are the Opportunities and What the Limitations of Social Effort in the Association?" CHARLES R TOWSON The Association embodies a very large element of social service in its very nature, and its work has been a concrete expression of social service in some of its most effective forms. The present policy of the Association movement seems to contemplate a continuance of the Associational method of dem- onstration as distinguished from discussion and "sociological investigation," while using both more largely. This is illustrated in the plans of the Industrial Department of the International Committee, especially in that enlargement of the scope of its work necessary to include in its field practical service to industrial workers. This in turn is illustrated by the emphasis with which the call is made upon the departments of the Association to project their efforts farther into this field ; for example, while the Relig- ious Work and Educational Departments are doing much along such lines as shop meetings, technical training, etc., the Physical Department has the opportunity to bring its scientific ability and 'eadership to bear to secure for the Industrial worker : 1 In his occupational life a The maximum of personal safety b The maximum of personal comfort c The minimum of wear and tear, or strain 2 In his home life a Better standards in expenditure b Better standards in health c Better standards in housing conditions 3 In his recreational life That relaxation from either the strain or the monotony of modern industry which will give recreation instead of dissipation This means a discovery and use of new methods of service on a larger scale, just as the Association has in the past discov- SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE 9 ered and used methods for the development of the individual and for the improvement of society as well. The limitations to the social service work of the Association are determined by recognition of the principles of the Association and the power of its leadership. The principles 1 That we have a responsibility for the welfare of the men and boys of the whole community; and, 2 That this welfare regards the "whole man" The powers of its leadership 1 To zvant to serve men 2 To discover actual conditions which reveal the needs of men 10 SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE Thrift and Mutual Benefit Facilities in the Young Men's Christian Association ALLEN T BURNS This paper is based upon answers to a questionaire sent in March, 1907, to members of the Society for the Promotion of Social Service. The questions related to four subjects, viz : (1) What are Associations now doing and with what effect; (2) Suggestions as to what Associations might do; (3) Mem- bership problems and their relation to the suggested action, and (4) Existing thrift and mutual benefit facilities outside the Association. Eighty replies to this questionaire were received, 73 from local Association secretaries, 7 from field or supervisory secre- taries. These answers have value as opinions and estimates, not as accurate statistics. Percentages are given in round num- bers. In one instance replies were received from two secretaries in the same Association, giving percentages, which, while not absolutely contradictory as to the general situation, were far from being the same. What are Associations noiv doing? Only 11 Associations reported thrift or benefit facilities; 10 of these are acting as agencies for local savings banks. The method of all is practically the same, as follows : Members deposit their money at the Association office ; the Association issues to such members "bank books" which serve as the Association's receipts to the depositors. The Association in turn deposits these funds with a local bank in the names of its members. The bank issues its own deposit books in the names of the respective members ; the Association, however, keeps each bank book proper in its possession so long as the respective mem- ber retains the book issued by the Association. The depositors can also withdraw money at the Association office merely by making savings bank checks payable to the Association and pre- senting their books for the proper debit entries. The Associa- tion reimburses itself by cashing in the checks at the bank. Interest is credited by the bank to the depositors and entered SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE 11 on the books issued by the bank exactly as though the Associ- ation were not the intermediary. The Association in turn enters these interest credits on the books issued by itself. Any depos- itor may begin to deal directly with the bank by giving up the Association book and receiving in return the bank book proper. The Association thus helps a man to save so long as it is a more convenient depository than the bank itself. A Building and Loan Society conducted by the Toledo Asso- ciation is the only other thrift facility. This Society corresponds closely to others of similar name in varieties of stock, methods of payments, withdrawals and loans, and safeguards as to Direc- tors, meetings, quorums, bonds, etc. In addition, there are sev- eral unusual features. All members must be members of the Association or have secured their stock from present or past members. The Board of Directors is chosen from the Associa- tion's Board of Trustees, who audit all accounts and act in an advisory capacity. Investments may be made by like societies, though the intention is to loan to the Association against mort- gage on the new building. For this loan the Association pays the same interest as it would pay for a loan elsewhere secured by mortgage. The shareholders receive their pro rata share of the profit. If a member prefers to apply his profits toward the pay- ment of his Association membership, the Association will then guarantee him a profit of 6 per cent. The result of the plan is that interest on the building mortgage pays membership fees instead of membership fees being used to pay interest on the mortgage. At the same time the members are coming to have a part in the ownership of the building and are given an induce- ment for more permanent membership. A third form of thrift and benefit facility in the Association is the Secretaries' Insurance Alliance. About 1,000 members are assessed $2.10 on the death of one of their number. These assessments amount yearly to from $8.00 to $10.00. As only 10 cents of each payment goes to administrative expense, the bene- fits generally paid and to be expected are about $2,000. RESULTS (1) The agencies for savings banks have a comparatively small number of depositors, only one Association reporting more than 100 depositors or more than $10,000 deposited — the Brook- 12 SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE lyn Naval Branch, where some hundreds of thousands of dollars are annually deposited. Their unusual success is due to the exceptional character of the employment of the men using this Association. (2) The existence of savings facilities has had small effect either upon holding or increasing the membership. Only under an exceptional situation will the Savings Bank Agency be a largely helpful or successful activity in the Young Men's Chris- tian Association. (3) As to the efficiency of the Buildings and Savings Society in Toledo : after 18 months it had a membership of four hun- dred stockholders, nearly $13,000 in deposits, increasing at the rate of about $1,000 a month. Its effect has been to tie members up to the Association for a period of from two to five years, and it encourages habits of thrift through the saving of money. It has increased the permanent membership 20 per cent and one- half of the depositors were formerly using no form of savings facilities. (4) The Secretaries' Insurance Alliance has (a) rendered aid to families of deceased members, (b) furnished insurance at as low rate as any in existence; and (c) has promoted brother- hood, increasing the fraternal spirit among secretaries. This by-product of strengthened fraternity indicates ivhal zvoidd he possible among the rank and Me of the Association membership if some equally effective form of mutual benefit should be pro- vided. WHAT THE ASSOCIATIONS MIGHT DO To the question "Would you favor the inauguration of a movement among the Associations of the country to found sav- ings or mutual benefit societies," fifty-nine answered in the affirm- ative ; only five in the negative, while sixteen expressed no opin- ion. "What form should such a society take?" Sixty-nine answered, some suggesting more than one form. Thirty-one gave answers which showed that there were no definite forms in mind. The Savings Bank Agency was recommended by twenty- four; twenty-one favored some form of sick, accident and death benefit; and eight urged the establishment of Building and Loan Societies. • Some of these answers were : "Yes, judging from the SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE 13 operation of other organizations and the occasional statements of our own members." "Not infrequently men have chosen be- tween the Association and some fraternal order because they felt they could not afford the Association as it furnished no pro- tection. Especially is this true of married men." "The social idea of fellowship and brotherly aid in affliction are the strongest factors in holding men in other Associations. For members away from home sick benefit features should be offered as well as a savings plan." "Our Society could do no greater work than to foster this movement and see it through successfully." VALVE OF THESE SUGGESTIONS (a) Regarding savings bank agencies, the Association as a savings depository has no practical effect in holding or increas- ing the membership. The same amount of energy as is expended in this work would probably be more effective if devoted to per- suade men to make use of outside savings facilities (b) Building and Loan Societies promote thrift and savings through a feeling of greater security because of co-operative man- agement, through hope of greater returns on money and through creation of greater credit at easier terms and through a system of compulsory saving at the same time that members are in debt be- cause of loans made from the society. There were 5,350 of these organizations in the United States in 1903, their assets amounting to $600,000,000. The achievements of Building and Loan Societies have pointed out how other organizations may successfully serve the economic needs of their members. Has the Young Men's Chris- tian Association such a duty toward the economic conditions and habits of its members? The organization's fundamental prin- ciple is a mission to the whole man. It exerts an immediate in- fluence over men's social, intellectual, physical and spiritual life. But one more important and primary sphere of life has been omitted. A man's financial activities and habits are largely de- terminative of all his other conduct. No man is saved until he is financially Christianized. Examples are numerous of professed Christians who are weak, flabby, and unreliable in their financial obligations. Many store-keepers say that ministers' accounts are less reliable and 14 SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE harder to collect than those of any other customers. An Associ- ation secretary praised for his evangelistic effort was securing and using subscriptions to make up deficits in his personal ac- counts. Control of money is nearly coincident with control of other lines of conduct. It is not the man who saves who spends his money in riotous living. "The beginning of a deposit, however small, in a savings bank, may be regarded as the crisis of many a moral destiny." Tt is the Association's duty to deal with the economic needs of its members. Building and Loan Associations seem to have reached their climax of success and growth as business enterprises. Most of the management is gratuitous. In the years 1897 to 1903 they decreased both in numbers and assets. American city life with its shifting population is not favorable to an indefinite growth of these thrift facilities. Business men grow tired of giving gratuitous service. The Association is in a position to revive or extend this most helpful form of thrift facility, only on condition that in its membership are men who believe that Christian service should .be extended into the economic field, who feel it a duty to help young men save and who are capable of conducting a Building and Loan Association on right principles. When these conditions have been met, state laws and the history of such organizations must be studied. Useful references are Bulletin of the Bureau of Labor No. 55, November, 1904, Dexter on Building and Loan Associations and the publications of the Toledo Association's Society. From the Young Men's Christian Association's point of view all the advantages of the Building and Loan Association with the addition of more fraternal action are combined in the Sick, Accident and Death Benefit Society, a suggested plan of which has been prepared by the Cleveland Chamber of Com- merce (can be obtained by writing). While this plan was not intended primarily for Associations it is as applicable t|iere as anywhere. The plan is the condensation of the experience of many such societies, and has been recommended by the Illinois Industrial Insurance Commissior SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE 15 The plan is based on experience of many such societies. Each member pays monthly dues of fifty cents. In case of sick- ness or accident, a benefit of one dollar per day is paid for thir- teen consecutive weeks. Within a given year a member may receive benefits for a total of eighteen weeks' disability. Exten- sions of these benefits are possible by a vote of the member- ship. Seventy-five dollars is paid toward funeral expenses of any deceased member. Special assessments may be levied on vote of the directors. Visiting committees call upon the sick and determine a member's right to benefits. This plan has been tested in hundreds of shops, churches, unions, lodges and found financially sound and practicable. The dues are fixed to cover only current liabilities and risks. The fundamental principle is pay as you go. A member gets each month what he pays for, viz : protection. There is no cumula- tive interest or right in the funds. The plan therefore is suited to a shifting and changing membership, and has no need of organization other than local. The benefit society teaches men to save, it appeals to the more poorly paid men as insurance. It is used successfully by other organizations, and social workers everywhere are urging its adoption. Germany was able to make such societies the basis of its great compulsory insurance system, the greatest economic protection of working men ever established. More important even than economic benefits is it that they promote brotherhood through the joy of mutual helpfulness. Members of the Secretaries' Insurance Alliance appreciate this point. Why not extend the same profitable experience to the rank and file of the Association? Again the Benefit Society necessitates sympathy and knowledge and visitation of the sick. Christly action needs emphasis as well as the teaching of Christ- liness. Would the Mutual Benefit Society increase or hold for a longer period the membership? Sixty per cent of the Associa- tions lose one-third or more of their members each year; 85 per cent lose from one-quarter to one-third each year. It is not an important question as to whether the Mutual Benefit Society would solve this problem. The m.embership question needs more often to be forgotten in order that more thought and effort may 16 SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE be given to serve men. Service must be made first and success that is desirable will follow. The Mutual Benefit Society with a substantial payment upon death, for example $1,000, would provide real insurance, such as the Secretaries' Alliance. Successful operation of such a society requires a large membership before substantial benefits can be paid, a national organization and general recognition that the Young Men's Christian Association finds it a duty. Such general recognition is for the present impossible, though exten- sion of benefits of the Secretaries' Insurance Alliance is practica- ble with a slight modification of the existing organization. CONCLUSIONS National or Local Life Insurance Societies are not practicable at present. Savings Bank Agencies are worth while only in exceptional situations. Building and Loan Associations are more generally prac- ticable and the best thrift facility toward which to work. The Sick, Accident and Death Benefit Society combines practicability, extension of Association service among wage earn- ers and married men, promotion of thrift and creation of a fra- ternal spirit. Later this thrift facility could easily be merged or grow into a Building and Loan Association. SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE 17 The Relation of the Young Men's Christian Association to Public Recreation GEORGE J FISHER, M D, NEW YORK Public recreation relates itself vitally to the development of physical vitality, to the causation of primitive joy and happiness, to the promotion of industrial efficiency, to the furtherance of communal morality and to the arousing of the social conscious- ness. THE DENATURED CITY The promotion and regulation of public amusements are made imperative by those great changes wrought in community life which have resulted in the modern denatured city. Abnormal physical development accompanies industrialism. City life com- pels the mixed and huddled races of newcomers to drop their racial games and amusements. The city man's chief business is not to conquer his environment as it is the country man's, but to subordinate himself to it, a process alike weakening to healthy motives and encouraging the counterfeits of immorality and intemperance. AMUSEMENTS The de-energized man of the city, accustomed to monot- onous and routine work, demands that he feel intensely. The safety valve of such feeling is the stimulation of his ideals. But instead amusements lurid and often vicious in their influence are the only means of satisfying the craving to be amused. As Dr Patten declares, "Vice mAist be fought by welfare, not by restraint, and society is not safe until its pleasures are stronger than its temptations. Amusement is stronger than vice and can stifle the lust of it." A questionaire sent to twenty Associations concerning mov- ing picture theatres revealed the following : They are generously patronized by all classes and are most of them in poorly ven- tilated halls. Their advertising bids for the patronage of women and children, but too frequently pictures suggestive in character are shown. Scenes unreal in life are portrayed, inculcating false ideas of honor and heroism. A censorship of the films used in moving picture shows should be insisted upon. Some Associa- 18 SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE tion men believe they could conduct good picture shows with educational and cultural results. A two weeks' experiment at Hull House leads Miss Jane Addams to predict that moving pic- tures will not always be associated in the public mind with the lurid and unreal but will be utilized in the future as the stere- opticon is at present. Some Associations have already used mov- ing pictures, but more as a fad than for real culture. THE CHANGED EMPHASIS OF PHYSICAL TRAINING Physical training is changing its emphasis from exercise to personal hygiene, from getting men into a gymnasium to teach- ing men how to live with reference to fresh air, sunlight, sleep and rest, diet and exercise. We have not emphasized enough the importance of exercise in the open air. Our gymnasiums and bath rooms must be taken out of basements. The walls of exer- cise rooms should have great windows swinging outward, prac- tically converting them into open air gymnasia. The roofs of Association buildings should be flat so that like public school buildings in congested districts of New York, they may be used for outdoor exercise and games. A renaissance is at hand also with reference to athletic parks. A weakness in Association and college athletics in the past has been its extreme competitive type. This has made the legislative side of athletics prominent, encour- aging the participation by the few rather than by the many. EXTENSION The extension of informal play among men in shops and factories and among boys and young men in rural districts is an important new Association endeavor. The Association should see to it that every boy and young man in its community has an opportunity to engage in healthful, social play. Physical exer- cise in the future will be prescribed largely by means of scientific play graded according to physiological value and classified with reference to phyletic and psychic content and mental stimulus. The object will be less muscle training than muscle making, not so much the development of muscle per se as the co-ordination of muscles. MORAL VALUE OF PLAY Inadequate provision for healthful play is the great menace of city youth. The playground is a moral agent. Vicious boys SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE 19 in New York are in the sections without play space. After twenty years' experience the conclusion reached in London is that juvenile control is largely a matter of athletics. The lack of play opportunities has also a direct relation to juvenile delin- quents who are a class of physically sub-normal. Joseph Lee has well said, "The boy without a playground is father to the man without a job, and the boy with a bad playground is father to the man with a job that had better never existed." MUNICIPAL PLAYGROUNDS Play must be made general and therefore stimulated and provided on a much larger scale than possible by Associations individually. Public playgrounds must therefore be provided by the municipality, and the Association can perform valuable public service in making sentiment for and in organizing community force to this end. Comparatively few American cities have public playgrounds — less than 100 — and not half of these are supported by the municipality. Compared with the cost of other public utilities, they are not expensive, but private initiative in almost every instance inaugurated the work before it became a public enterprise. PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT The simplest form of playground is the sand pile, with a box ten feet square, and having a folding cover. A trained kinder- gartner should supplement the sand box play with songs and games. In Boston, wagons are furnished in addition. There should be shade trees, near-by seats for the little mothers, and swings. The privilege of playing on the grass in certain parts of the public parks enlarges the play space. A public playground fully equipped consists of the open-air gymnasium, with its steel frame on which ladders, horizontal bars, rings, etc., are hung, and an open space for games, some- times including a running track. The Chicago plan, the most complete in America, includes a wading pool, swimming bath and club house. Another type is the large area ground, including baseball diamonds, tennis courts, etc. OTHER RESOURCES The school yard should be open the year round for play, public baths should be operated in all public schools, and roofs 20 SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE must be utilized more and more for play. The seven recreation piers in New York, each in charge of 16 to 25 attendants, are equipped with settees and lunch stands. The longest pier has an attendance of from 500 to 2,000 in the afternoons, and 3,000 to 7,000 in the evenings. Music is furnished in the evenings. PROMOTION OF MUNICIPAL PLAYGROUNDS Two principles are fundamental in playground promotion ; — first, however well equipped, it cannot succeed without adequate supervision; and second, under whatever auspices inaugurated, the definite goal should be its support by the municipality. How can the Association proceed to promote public play- grounds ? Four Methods: (1) After securing a loan of suitable grounds, at least $250 can be raised by subscription. The physical director with his leaders can conduct the work, prove its value, and thus create sentiment which will bring more complete equipment. This plan used at Scranton, Pa., resulted in the promise of five playgrounds next summer with municipal support. (2) Co-ordinate various philanthropic clubs in a united cam- paign for playgrounds. Examples, Cincinnati and Columbus. (3) Through a playground dinner of prominent citizens present the needs and the method. This can be followed by newspaper work and frequently be a concrete demonstration. (4) Appeal directly to the public boards. The park board can provide the largest plots of ground, and the board of educa- tion competent supervision. Probably the largest service the Association is in position to render is in Christian supervision — making playgrounds effective in developing character and manhood. Merit and not influence must determine the appointment of playground directors and trained men must be insisted upon. GYMNASTIC DANCING Gymnastic dancing is not the dancing of the ball room, but is a rhythmic exercise with source in the tribal religious dances, festival and folk dances of such nations as Sweden, Hungary, Russia and Spain. More than mere dance steps, they call into SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE 21 play the whole body. They add a charm to exercise that the As- sociation cannot afford to lose through the fanatical position of opposition to dancing in every form. The use of folk dances with our immigrant neighbors will provide splendid means of approach. PLAY IN RURAL DISTRICTS What rural districts need is not so much formal gymnastics as social play, promoting community spirit. The play picnics held in Far Hills, N Y, by the State Normal School combined exercise with instruction in personal and domestic hygiene, much needed in county towns. PLAY AMONG INDUSTRIAL WORKERS The great need of industrial workers is provision for their leisure hours. Twilight athletic leagues, games on grounds con- tiguous to the factory, bowling tournaments, and basket-ball leagues are some of the practical means of promoting organic vigor under wise guidance. Moving picture shows, folk dances and other recreation features have strong appeal for industrial workers. CO-OPERATION WITH PUBLIC SCHOOLS Through co-operation with public schools the Association may reach the whole community of school age. Many physical directors are conducting athletic sports on a large scale among public school children primarily as a stimulus for completely manned physical training in the public schools, where the need of such training is imperative. The Association's service to the community is far greater in inaugurating a well-directed school system for physical training than building up a purely Association scheme limited to the mem- bership. Of backward children in New York 90 to 100 per cent were found physically defective, and over 90 per cent of the truants showed marked physical defects. The Association, through permission to examine public school children, can either shame or educate the city into doing the work itself. SWIMMING Every person should know how to swim. In many cities the Association has the only swimming pool, which presents an 22 SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE opportunity for whole classes from the public schools to be taught by selected volunteer instructors. Older boys can be organized into volunteer life-saving corps. The problem is easy, the equipment is available, the expense nil. We may harness up the great membership of our Associ- ations in helpful forms of social service which will make con- ditions more favorable in our cities for the promotion of the Kingdom of God. SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE 23 Social Service an Integral Part in Christian Work R R PERKINS While the power of recognizing present conditions is an asset, it is also a most deceiving liability. It links us too closely to things as they are. It makes incidental forces seem funda- mental. Things that are merely habitual it calls inevitable. It makes one more championistic than wise. For some time social service has been claiming special atten- tion. It has appealed mostly as a practical present method of extending work. Our greatest concern has been the selection of those forms of social service adapted to the Young Men's Chris- tian Association organization as it stands. We have looked upon social sei-vice with our institutional eyes. To a belated few the handy implements of social service have been a Pandora's box of evils ; to others a useful chest of tools. But social service is neither new, nor external, nor does it consist of merely mechanical equipment. Have we not thought more of what we could use of social service in our organization than of what religion in its social expression requires should be done? May we not have been unfair to the Young Men's Christian Association in overvaluing the size of the mold in which we are at present cast? The largest question we can ask ourselves is not how progressive, adaptable, strong we are, but how much this world of men needs us in places where none have been. Our influence is so small because instead of approaching rehgion in its social expression, asking for the inspiration of a way of life, we have made the humiliating mistake of merely looking for tools. I. The Essentially Religious Nature of Social Service \ (a) Historically Hebrew history is filled with examples of the recuperative power of religion in times of national moral depression. Israel's diseases were almost without exception social diseases, and it was the power of oppressed people pleading a righteous cause that found voice in prophets' protests. Isaiah portrays a socially corrupt Zion, a j^^cUnf." of Jewish 24 SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE social wrongs to Jews : "I am weary of bearing sacrifices. Your hands are full of blood. Wash you, make you clean ; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes ; cease to do evil ; learn to do well; seek justice; relieve the oppressed; judge the fatherless ; plead for the widow." Amos pictures the surprised distress of him who left the evils of oppression, social inequalities and dishonesties to be ad- justed in the "sweet by and by." He describes men "that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief oils ; but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph." So it was with Micah, Jeremiah, Joel. Israel was a superb unit. No wonder then that the most violent sin was that which even hinted disruption, monopoly, special privilege, manipulation for the few. Its problems are of the social body. The cure is religious. John the Baptist preached a social religion. Simply because he was strong, the soldier must not extort from the weak, nor must the publican. He was the viper who retired within his personal cloak of sonship to Abraham and did as he pleased in his business or in his dribbling alms. The prophets troubled themselves more for the social life and problems of the people than for private religion. They were champions for the oppressed, against social wrongs. Out of this came Jesus. His great word was Love. Love cannot bear injustice. It cannot look calmly upon scrambling for position. It is essentially a destroyer of caste lines and dis- tinctions. Love must have an object, therefore is fundamentally social. It serves the other man. It denies that one can serve God and not his brother. Love carves into reHef the words neighbor, brother, charity, justice, kindness, faith — all words with no con- tent if not a social one. Jesus extolled the good neighbor, drew a confession of wrong doing and a pledge of restoration and future justice from the grafting publican, showed that "it is hard to get riches with justice, to keep them with equality, and to spend them with love." His healing powers were at the call of all the really distressed. He knew how the poor widow was fleeced in the courts by the lawyers. He knew the value of two mites. He knew the exclu- siveness of the rich dining-room. He knew how many would SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE 2S never be blessed by having enough to eat or to possess or enjoy this side of another life. He knew the Pharisees for a lot of vain, disdainful peacocks. He knew he was come with a sword. He called to his side the needy, the oppressed. But he declined to let those follow him who hoped for everlasting free bread. There were but two things in the religion of Jesus, namely, in- dividual regeneration and social regeneration; love God, also one's neighbor. If a man said he loved God and was unfair' to his neighbor, he was a liar. Proof? He was not socially what he said he was personally. Thus our Christian religion is essen- tially social in its origin and in its supremest representative. Professor Walter Rauschenbusch in "Christianity and the Social Crisis," recalls that the records we have are meager on account of the prevalent beHef that all was soon to come to an end. Therefore why write? Furthermore, who dared write any radical, political or social ideas under the Empire? The book of James is an unqualified invective against the rich as a class. Probably much of the early Jewish Christian writing was lost. The great development of Christian organization was not Jewish but Greek and Roman without the splendid social instincts of Judaism. It was not democratic but imperialistic. It made up the canon of the New Testament, rejecting much that was Jewish and undoubtedly strongly Christian and social. Thus early set in a deterrent influence to the social nature of the Christian religion. The first Christian gatherings of the primitive church were not for worship, for teaching and preaching, but "for the admin- istration of the common life." It was an organized religion that appealed to the distressed. It was a democratic religion. It found a large place for woman, made way for the talents of the lay member and spread social unrest. Within the first three and one half centuries Christianity had become an organized social protest against social wrongs. In answer to the question "Wh}^ has Christianity never undertaken the work of social reconstruction?" Mr. Rauschen- busch elaborated what we may catalogue : Christianity came into an inheritance of widespread decay. The task at first v/as superhuman. 26 SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE Christianity developed an "other worldliness." This world was too unjust to waste time on. Its Oriental asceticism attacked marriage, the family, prop- erty, the great social attractions. Almsgiving was a personal method of penance without social significance. Gifts were elicited, but pauperism, a social evil, was not helped. Asceticism lifted men out of their social relations. It did not seek to make social relations normal. It suffered the disease of monasticism. The best life went out of society and into monasteries when society desperately needed it. The parasitic growth of ritualism and sacramentalism was against social reconstruction. So also of "churchliness." If a man helped a friend in need, he did a moral act. If he gave to the church, he did a religious act. Every permanent institution in history has succumbed to a like temptation to become an end in itself rather than an agent for accomplishing the purpose for which it was founded. Subservience to the State, the loss of democracy and the lack of scientific understanding of the laws of social development complete a catalogue of influences which have kept Christianity always just away from her social task. This historical view was sketched with these objects: (1) To point the primary fact that the best religion ever expressed in this world has expressed itself in social terms. (2) The elements that have entered into the history of Christianity which consumed her force and harmed her usefulness have been accidental ele- ments. Religion is the same as ever, and, as ever, clamorous for social expression. (3) To remind ourselves that the Young Men's Christian Association is young, has a limited experience, organization and method, while the social expression of religion is ages old. If religious institutions have through the ages failed because of the distractions of organizations or self-placed limitations of thinking and acting, are we justified in considering ourselves immune to the same perils? Can we afiford to say, "So much v/e can undertake because our present machinery and our tra- ditions permit us to do so much; beyond this we cannot go?" SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE 27 The Young Men's Christian Association was made for reHgion, not religion to fit the Young Men's Christian Association. (b) Psychologically — in the personal life. Another defense for social service than that found in the history of religion, and especially as found in Jesus' life and teaching is its efifect on the religious life of the individual. A man who was a good personal worker, had helped many men to Christian "decision," after going through two campaigns for a "dry district," said, "I've just learned for the first time what religion means. I never knew how weak and one-sided the Church was." A loyal church layman working to enforce the law against certain infamous dens of vice, said in confidence: "You know I get nearer my Lord in working with those struggling people down there than I ever do in our church prayer meeting." Social service means today the effort to do away with fun- damental social wrongs in a wholesale fashion. We have need of many men whom one day of actual social service has made ready for much service ; of a few men to learn what 50 centuries of social service can teach a rapidly changing, adaptable, 60-year- old institution. The only real thing to fear is that we try too little. II. What Religion Has to Say on Some Fundamental Questions of Social Service Granted that both historically and psychologically social service is an expression of religion, religion is the greater thing. Grasping this fact the social worker will have his standard by which to measure his methods and to answer questions of detail that social service has to ask. Better than considering whether the particular tools we have been using are big enough or strong enough is to do the service that faces us. (a) Who are to Serve — Religion- s Democracy Religion insists upon democracy from social service and upon these fundamentals : It is the complete social body that is to be served. Every man must bear a part. No process or method is to be disregarded which enlists every man. 28 SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE A practical value of this insistence of religion on democracy is that it assigns us first of all today to the pleasant task of education. Social service that is not intelligent is sometimes social, sometimes is service, but is always ineffective. For example, the men and women working today at the juvenile delinquent question are educating policemen, judges, parents, school teachers, boys, Chautauqua audiences, everybody. Yet today the juvenile delinquent cause stands tied to the tether of uncertainty and ignorance concerning the actual efficiency of today's methods and institutions in treating the juvenile delin- quent. Every man must know how, why and where to lift. The first step for social service is to make this knowledge common property in every man's group. The task is to educate the average man. Both the religion of history and the religion of psychology insist upon this. Jesus had most success with the average man. The average man is the man most interested in the great problems of social service. He is nearest to them and he is in the majority. It is too expensive educating or using only the leader. The leader market is too small. It is too slow a method. It is the mass of average men that has to be moved to get servdce done. Democracy in social service is in self-defense. (Ji) What Social Services — The Service or the Tools Jesus served where there was need. If the prevailing disease was leprosy he attacked that. Was it public dishonesty? He met that and was cursed for getting too near to it. His religion seemed to see only need. He was a Jew, a member of the regular ecclesiastical organization, and there were regular ways of doing much that he did. But he was a religionist first and a Jew and an ecclesiastic afterwards. He outgrew the organization by meet- ing needs. The liquor problem is an evil, politically, economically, socially, ethically. The nation has a deep need because of it. Shall I, because I am a Young Men's Christian Association sec- retary, leave it alone? What is there inherent either in this need or in this organization which prevents me? Custom? Modern city life is paved with customs that we shall have yet to break. Do service there as a man and not as a secretary? That is a SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE 29 futile hiding place from which I see secretaries everywhere peep- ing out. Let some other organization in my locality do it because it can do it better? Most certainly if it can, and does. But if it cannot or does not! This question, perhaps difficult for an organization to answer, is an easy one for religion. It is settled for me by my religion, not by my organization alone, even though through such service money is lost to my Association. President Hunt aptly remarks : "The chief characteristics of the early church were its poverty and its power. The chief characteristics of the church today are its wealth and its weakness. The church then was hated. Does anyone today hate the church? No, she is not hated. She is despised." I fear nothing for the Young Men's Christian Association so much as that it shall limit its social service by its precedents or by the power of the support of a few of its friends ; that it shall not be hated, feared, attacked. How far shall Young Men's Christian Association secre- taries enter into the question of more justice in the distribution of the rewards of economic production. If we are to lose our financial support by being of indispensable service, then let us change our plan of finance and still be just. The sooner the Association breaks from her present financial plan- lessness, the sooner we shall be free from the big stick of big givers. If social service can force us to financial independence blessed be social service. Large new social services call us to action. Shall 20-year- old limitations or a 20-century-old call to service in the cause of equity and justice decide? We may be pooh-hoohed as rash, inexperienced, dangerous. So was physical education 15 years ago. III. The Man Wlio Serves We are thinking of the value of religion expressed in social service as additional or supplementary to a man's individual wor- ship of his God. What kind of a man is religion so expressed going to produce? Religion exists for man, not man for religion. Will such a rehgion render a man capable of being hated? or only despised? Will it make him brave, sym.pathetic, miore char- itable than selfish? Will it give him the humility of gentleness? This is a religion of Contacts, that sends a man into the thick of the world's business, into the whirl of the city's factories, 30 SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE into the counsels of the city's welfare, into the underworld of her social wickedness, into the playtime of the people. God give us men who will not feel so much the call of the organization as the call of the service that is to be done. Such a man moves among men who are tied, while he is free. The men who do social injustice in business are a part of the system. Nothing will unlock their handcuffs so quickly as the movement of free men among them who have heard the clear call of service. Nothing keeps a man so useful as contact with men. Men's needs make religious every man who knows and feels them. Too long for the good of our men have we developed per- sonal religion without the corresponding development of the social religious life. Social service, rightly ordered, will get better men, will keep them longer and make them plow deeper. If their organization has not laid the right tools at hand, they will make them. God knows that the centuries have needed m.en who could be emancipated enough to make tools. "My brother for my Father" should be the motto of social service. The warming of the heart that comes to a man who sei"ves his fellow in Jesus' name is invincible. The social view of religion is supported by history and by personal experience. It enlists the mass of ordinary men, guides them in the course of their action, and makes them the efficient men the day needs. SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE 31 Resolutions Resolutions adopted at the close of the first session: Resolved, That it is the consensus of opinion of this organization: 1. That we recognize social service as a logical expression of the Christian purpose of the Young Men's Christian Association. 2. That we should increasingly co-operate with those organizations having social service as their aim. 3. That we endeavor to promote the ideals of Social Service among the membership of the Associations in the following ways : (a) That the Executive Committee be instructed to publish a bib- liography covering such phases of social theory, practice and method as they deem valuable to the Association movement. (b) That, in order to get before the Association membership the evi- dences of progress of the social movement, the Executive Committee be instructed to publish a list of the activities which are being carried out by the various Associations. (c) That, in order to assist committees in charge of programs for conventions, conferences and social study clubs, a list of suitable topics and available speakers be compiled and published by the Executive Com- mittee. Resolutions adopted at the close of the second session : Resolved, That it is the sense of this conference that the Associations have before them opportunities for many forms of social service in behalf of their members and others whom the Association may be able to organ- ize for self-help. That we deem these opportunities to be such as the promotion of better housing and working conditions and recreative facilities ; the pro- motion of efforts for the improvement of moral conditions in the com- munity; and for the furtherance of public comfort; the provisions of facilities for thrift and savings ; the securing of a better knowledge of and co-operation with other agencies for social betterment, such as the Charity Organization Society, Boards of Health, Juvenile Courts, etc. That we recognize an especially urgent opportunity for social ser- vice among industrial workers because of their number and accessibility, and their need of help in securing, through co-operative effort, proper conditions of home life, occupation, recreation and mental and spiritual development. Such conditions should guarantee to the individual the maximum of personal safety, health and comfort and the minimum of wear and tear or strain. We would especially emphasize the demand made upon the physical departments by the opportunities for social service among industrial workers. That, because of the large percentage of foreigners among our indus- trial workers and their comparative dependence, due to ignorance of our language and customs, we recognize a special opportunity for social sei-vice in helping to secure to the foreigner just and considerate treat- 32 SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE ment, together with adequate instruction in our language, laws and iinstitutions. That we recognize the following limitations to social service on the part of the Associations : 1. Only such service should be undertaken as may be in accordance with the fundamental work of the Y. M. C. A.'s, which is primarily for men and boys. 2. Efforts for the betterment of social conditions should be undertaken only in the light of comprehensive and accurate knowledge of the facts and forces involved. Resolutions adopted at the close of the third session: Resolved, 1. That we recognize Social Service as essentially religious; and that the personal religious life must necessarily supplement itself by Social Service. 2. That we recognize the fundamentally social nature of Christianity - as set forth in the Scriptures ; 3. It was social injustice and social corruption that aroused the indignation of the prophets ; and social reform that inspired their enthus- iasm; 4. Jesus exemplified the gospel of love and proclaimed love as essen- tially social. Individual regeneration and social regeneration were insep- arable parts of His message. 5. Furthermore, social effort enlarges the personal life and vitalizes its Christian purpose. Any organization engaged in Christian work must recognize Social Service as a necessary part of its program. 6. The guide to the service which is to be undertaken, is human need. This necessitates the social education of our membership. 7. Many strong, virile men not now identified with the Association, who are interested in the establishment of the Kingdom of God, will be enlisted with us by the adoption of Social Service as a conscious working principle. Resolutions adopted at the close of the fourth session: Resolutions prepared from a digest of a paper by A. T. Burns on Thrift and Mutual Benefit Facilities in the Association and of the discus- sion following it. 1. Several Associations are conducting agencies for savings banks, but the results are not such as to recommend the general adoption of this plan. 2. One Association's experience of a year and a half is favorable to the Building and Loan plan for encouraging thrift. But this plan is recom- mended only when capable men can be found to undertake the responsi- bility gratuitously as a form of Social Service. 3. While the paper recommended the inauguration of sick, accident and death benefit societies as immediately practicable, no Association experience with these societies was presented. Therefore we suggest that this matter be made the subject of study and experimentation by such Associations as can afford to make this contribution to social service. SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE ZZ Resolutions adopted at the close of the fifth session : The primary purpose of the Association is to assist men to attain and preserve a well-balanced life. To do this it is necessary to be mindful of the proper relations of life and to supplement the fundamental factors of the community life — supplementing the man's home life by helpful fellowship, his school by intellectual and physical development, his church life by further inspiration or the cultivation of motive power, the civic life by training in co-operation, his vocation by inducement to proper self in- vestment and his recreation by opportunities for self recovery. A further purpose of the Association is to promote the broader phases of Social Service through the individual efforts of the members and by the Association as such. One method for accomplishing this would be the assembling together of representative men of various social forces of the community in a council. The Association thus becoming a clearing-house for intelligent co-operative effort in Social Service. It is believed that we should not make less investment in large build- ings, but that there should be an increase in the investment in less expen- sive but more numerous centers in which the equipment and the work shall be adapted to the constituency to be affected. Groups of members should be enlisted in careful study of community conditions and in lectures and conferences. The experience of the Association in Employment Work justifies the placing of emphasis on this as a fruitful field for Social Service. Resolutions adopted at the close of the sixth session : In view of the need for improved conditions in the physical life of men and boys, particularly in the cities, and inasmuch as the Association is ifi many cases the only organized agency equipped with trained leaders ; therefore the Association should seek to give direction to the development of the physical life of the community. As every man and boy in the community has the right and should have the opportunity to engage in healthful social play. Therefore^ the Association should seek to create sentiment for the establishment of municipal play grounds and the inauguration of physical training in the public school and the multiplication of such other facilities for recreation as may be needed in the community. ^ 34 SOCIETY FOR PROMOTION OF SOCIAL SERVICE Suggestive List Of Social Service Speakers and Subjects for the Young Men's Christian Association This list of speakers and subjects does not pretend to be exhaustive.
