C. lOicnarasoii Likes Book By Drs, Morgans thinking together about MARRIAGE AND FAMILY, by Wm. and Mildred Morgan. Pp. 178, price $3.50 from Association Press, N. Y„ 1955. Two of the most interesting and worthwhile of Black Mountain's many outstanding summer resi dents are Drs. Wm. and Mildred Morgan, whose home in the High 1°P Polony overlooks the beauti ful Swannanoa Valley. Formerly dean of Biltmore college, Dr. Wm. Morgan is now on the faculty of Appalachian State Teachers col lege at Boone. Dr. Mildred Morg an. the first Coordinator of Fam ily Lite Education of the Ashe ville school system, is now head ot Home and Family Life at Florida State university at Talla hassee. She is currently presi dent ot the Southeastern Council on Family Relations. I he Association Press of New York has just brought out their very valuable source book the sub ject of which is well covered in its title, “Thinking Together About Marriage and Family.” While its subtitle, “Discussion Out lines. Resources, and Activity Sug gestions for Young Men and Wom en, Married Couples, and Parents”, tells its coverage, it does not even hint at the scope of this unuSual volume. For the book is not only an interesting and stimulating plan for study groups on these various Phases of intimate personal rela tionships, that makes the organ ization and conduct of such classes as simple and easy as is possible for this worthy object. li> audition, by an unusual plan of organization, it gives not only a very full bibliography, but as well long quotations from the authorities quoted. In other words, while it suggests the purchase of a dozen text books, it gives the Pith of some 75 other books in the form of actual quotations. In addition, references are supplied to recordings, films, filmstrips, plays, socio dramas, and other aids to teaching and learning. Following a short discussion of the requirements of anyone want ing to set up a course, and the ways in which it. can best be con ducted, comes part 1: “Planning for Marriage.” This sets forth 10 topics, such for example as When Is One Ready for Marriage; Social Relations of Men and Women— Dating; Courtship and Marriage Choices; Engagement, etc. Part 2: "Planning for Family Life” fol lows, with 10 more topics, such as Marriage Adjustments; Money Matters; How Can a Couple Build Married Love; Which Way for the Children's Religion; When Crises Come, etc. Each of the topics starts out with an informal, free-and-easy opening chat on the subject, per haps outlining several different approaches to the theme and sev eral suggested solutions. These discussions are immensely helpful to anyone interested in marriage and its problems, quite aside from any intention of conducting or par ticipating in a course. Following this come several readings, each a number of paragrhps from books that apply particularly to the topic under discussion, with footnotes giving the source of the quotation. Then come “Suggestions for Ad ditional Activities”, such as films, filmstrips, plays, recordings, role playing, for further reading, etc. “Thinking Together About Mar riage and Family” is a distinct addition to the literature on mar riage and the family in a field which is already richly supplied with valuable books. But there is nothing quite like this contribu tion to the subject; for it is at once a book on method, a suggest ive treatise, and a library in little which cannot help but enrich the Born lo Mr. and Mrs. H.
