Excerpt from The Community: An Introduction to the Study of Community Leadership and Organization

Discontent with current political, economic, and social organization appears to be well-nigh universal. Men everywhere are attempting to work out a new way of living together. We live in a period which is likely to produce many theories. Extremists of one sort will want the entire structure of the present destroyed. Extremists of another sort will insist on keeping the old machinery intact. In the meantime, a few men and women here and there will be attempting to evaluate the resources of the present world; these have abandoned all short cuts to progress, and have set for themselves the task of building the future out of the materials at hand.

Science has produced a technology which now permeates and affects all of modern life. The technologists or the specialists are indispensable to modern communities. All divisions of knowledge have been divided into smaller divi sions. 'the specialist selects his field and de votes his life to it. The rapid increase of knowledge since the beginning of the use of the scientific method has made specialism inevitable.
