Book excerpt: Excerpt from Educational Experiments in Social Settlements His is a piece about adult education in social settlements. It T is not a survey, nor is it research. The attempt has been made to show by means of a study of selected social settlements the extent to which they are actual and potential instruments for adult education. It is by intent an interpretation, not a statistical report. The Opinions expressed both as to adult education as a movement and the social settlement as an institution are un abashedly personal. Advice was sought and followed as to 'the cities and the settle ments which should be visited. The cities were New York, Chi cago, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Boston. Many more settlements were visited than are reported in these pages. Those that were selected for illustrative purposes were chosen not because they were necessarily the best, but because their programs in some phase or another of adult education were either the most typical or the most distinct. It is obvious, I hope, that the settlement as an agency for children, or health, or social case work was not considered a province of this study.
