HISTORICAL SEMINARY
Last Saturday morning the Historical seminary listened to one of the best talks, ever delivered before the seminary. The speaker was A.W.Small,of Chicago University.The subject taken was "College Instructionin Sociology."
Prof. Blackmar and Prof. Small were really the originators in placing Sociology as a study by its self in the American colleges. Prof. Small says, that Sociology owes its existence to the physical science, and that it was a study of the ways and means of getting the most out of this life.
Modern history began about the time of the Declaration of Independence. Adam Smith, in his lectures on Philosophy, divided them into Religious, Political and Industrial activities. But the study of Political economy at that time covered too great a field and a special study of human life began. J. S. Mill then began his work in this direction by reconstructing political economy.
The first facts to which we need to turn our mind says Prof. Small, may be divided into four channels. 1st, to know man as an animal; 2d, we need to know man as a thinking animal; 3rd, to know man as a creative animal; 4th, to have a knowledge of man as a co-operative animal.
In the last fifty years sociology has grown up in two divisions. rst, as descriptive sociology, what man was in the past and what he will be in the future. The second division is idealistic in form. It may be called "social statistics" or the equilibrium of society. One way of defining sociology is that it is a science which teaches man to tend to his own business.
No sooner had Prof. Small taken his seat when Prof. Blackmar asked him to tell about the practical work done among the poor in the city of Chicago. Prof. Small kindly consented and gave a brief history and the work done by the "Central Relief Association" of which Prof. Small is a member.
The audience listened with the closest attention through the entire talk and considered it a great treat to listen to one so well versed in the subject of sociology.
