“The dispositions of human nature which made synthetic drama at the beginning are ready to make it again. They never needed drama as they do now in their day of exile. A community drama which knew how to use these varied dispositions toward expression—not only song and dance, but the instinct of workmanship, the latent passion which is in multitudes of people for shaping material things into beautiful forms for social use—such a community theatre would become a profound economic necessity, would command kinds of power and quantities of power whose existence we scarcely guess, would create a new social situation in the lives of all those it touched, and would in time be the parent of new art forms and social forms unforeseen, propitious, splendid.”—John Collier in The Survey, vol. 36, p. 259. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BOOKS BY CHARLES HORTON COOLEY PUBLISHED BY CHARLES SCRIBNER’S SONS SOCIAL PROCESS _net_ $2.00 SOCIAL ORGANIZATION; A STUDY OF THE LARGER MIND _net_ $1.50 HUMAN NATURE AND THE SOCIAL ORDER _net_ $1.50 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES ● Typos fixed; non-standard spelling and dialect retained. ● Used numbers for footnotes, placing them all at the end of the last chapter. ● Enclosed italics font in _underscores_.
