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
