Description
Excerpt from The A B C of Exhibit Planning
However much men may disagrees as to the applicability to American conditions of the program of reconstruction of the British Labor Party, there is one plank which will command well-nigh unanimous approval. It runs: "The Labor Party has no belief in any of the problems of the world being solved by good will alone. Good will without knowledge is warmth without light. Especially in all the complexities of politics, in the still undeveloped science of society, the Labor Party stands for increased study, for the scientific investigation of each succeeding problem, for the deliberate organization of research, and for a much more rapid dissemination among the whole people of all the science that exists."
There are many ways, of course, of carrying out such a doctrine. At least two of them had taken form in this country long before the British Labor program was announced, indeed long before the war. The social surveys and social exhibits which have had such wide currency in the last ten years are merely other names for the careful investigation of the problems of society as they emerge in particular localities, and for the specialized and wholesale educational use of the information brought together in these and other ways. Indeed, the survey has been repeatedly defined as the application of scientific method to the study of community problems, plus such a distribution of the resulting facts and recommendations as to make them, as far as possible, the common knowledge of the community. The survey has thus combined social investigation and popular dissemination of data, and in the latter the exhibit has played an important part.
But the exhibit may lay claim to being an independent social force, also.
