  • Social Thought and Economic Theory 93 Useful Contribution to an Understanding of the Ideas and Events of a Very Inter- Esting Period in American Financial History
    Social Thought and Economic Theory 93 useful contribution to an understanding of the ideas and events of a very inter- esting period in American financial history. Williams College WALTER B. SMITH Origins of American Sociology: The Social Science Movement in the United States. By L. L. and Jessie Bernard. New York: Thomas Y. Crowell Com- pany, 1943. Pp. 866. $6.50. This historical and critical account of the movement to "create a special and unified science of society and social welfare in the United States" traces the de- velopment of American social science from about 1840 to the emergence of aca- demic sociology near the end of the nineteenth century. The Bernards have selected for discussion not necessarily the most important social thinkers of the period but simply those who recognized themselves as contributors to the special field of "social science" and whose works the Bernards feel have had a cumula- tive effect. Their attention ranges from a series of obscure early Utopian and metaphysical theorists, such as Horace Binney Wallace, Calvin Blanchard, George Frederick Holmes, Stephen P. Andrews, Josiah Warren, Lewis Mas- querier, Albert Kinsey Owen, and others, to groups of men ordinarily remem- bered chiefly as economists of either the laissez-faire or the nationalist school— such as John Bascom, Arthur Latham Perry, David A. Wells, Edward Atkin- son, William Graham Sumner, and Henry C. Carey and his followers. Nineteenth-century thought, say the Bernards, as it was manifested among men with an interest in social welfare and social speculation, united a great zeal for reform with a great regard for science.

ESSAY NURTURING RIGHTS: AN ESSAY ON WOMEN, PEACE, AND INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS by BarbaraStark* In 1970, we' held a strike to close my high school until two de- mands were met. First, we wanted the war in Vietnam to end. Sec- ond, we wanted girls to be allowed to wear jeans to school. Sensibly conceding our principal's limitations, we compromised on the first de- mand and conducted a "teach-in" on the war instead. The school ad- ministration quickly caved in on the second demand, requiring only that the jeans be "clean and decent." For many years afterwards, I mocked our adolescent naivet6, the hopelessness and impossibility of our first demand and the triviality of our second, our linkage of the sublime and the ridiculous. But we wore jeans from then on, and the war indeed ended.
