Excerpt from The Church and Young Men: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculties of the Graduate, Schools of Arts and Literature, in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy
The purpose of this study is to afford some help to those who are engaged in promoting, either directly or indirectly, the spiritual welfare of young men. It is a working handbook of practical methods, rather than a philosophical discussion of theoretical principles.
The information and opinions have been gathered at first hand from successful leaders of young men in all the principal denominations and in all sections of the United States. The questionnaire method was employed, over two thousand schedules being sent to pastors, superintendents, secretaries, college officials, and others, including many to young men themselves. These schedules were of seven kinds and contained from thirty to sixty questions, mostly concerning matters of fact but also calling for opinions. Nearly six hundred were returned (one hundred and thirty being from the young men), and the replies were analyzed and tabulated. Several hundred reports and other forms of printed matter were also received and considered. The following pages, therefore, not only present fresh and reliable facts but also valuable opinions.
