The three papers in this pamphlet derive vitality and validity from the unusual experiences of the author and from her spontaneous response to those experiences. Mildred Young, as well as her husband, Wilmer Young, was born into the Society of Friends. For a number of years they lived and taught at Westtown School. They have engaged in relief work in post-war Poland, in rehabilitation projects in the mining regions of Kentucky, in both rural and urban experiments in Pennsylvania, and in the work of the Delta Cooperative Farm in the sharecropper region of the South. Even more significant has been their connection with the Work Camp program of the American Friends Service Committee. Each summer for the past five years and again this season they have been intimately associated with at least one camp. This experience, both with the young people involved and the communities touched, was decisive for the development of the thesis of this pamphlet.
