Humane Education Programs for Local Societies
Full text linkAlthough definitely I am not an educator, I believe that I still may be able to report usefully this afternoon some of what is being done in the field of humane education by some of our best local humane societies.
In the years that I have worked in and for The HSUS I have visited several hundred local humane societies-big and little, good and not so good, new and old, rich and poor, in all parts of the country. I have spent many days on analysis of the philosophy, policies, equipment, programs and personnel of those societies.
When I visit a local society I look .first, as you might expect, at any animal shelter that it operates. But in a great many situations I give the most attention to the society\u27s educational activities-or lack of them. From analysis of a humane society\u27s attitude toward problems of education I can learn more about that society\u27s level of intellectual maturity and moral philosophy than from study of any other facet of the society\u27s operations
Humane Education
Full text linkThe purpose of this thesis is to present an analysis of the developement and present status of humane education in the United States, its administration, aims, and methods. The field of humane education has this peculiarity, that while it has gained almost universal recognition as an important element in the child’s experience, it has as a general rule been provided not by the school itself but by an outside agency in cooperation with the school authorities. The reference is to the work of numerous state and city humane societies who have carried on as a part of their activities a program of education.https://www.wellbeingintlstudiesrepository.org/hebg/1001/thumbnail.jp
The Humane Movement in the United States: 1910-1922
Full text linkThis study attempts to continue for the brief period from 1910 to 1922 Professor Roswell C. McCrea\u27s descriptive survey of the Humane Movement in the United States, which covered the distinctive features of legislation and organized efforts for animal and child protection. Professor McCrea gave an outline presentation of the historical background and development for at least a generation prior to 1909-1910. While making free use of Professor McCrea\u27s materials and in some cases restating his conclusions, I have made no attempt to cover the same ground, but have begun this study with the year 1909-1910 where he left off.https://www.wellbeingintlstudiesrepository.org/smaobg/1000/thumbnail.jp
