Excerpt from Education of the Pueblo Child, Vol. 7: A Study in Arrested Development The Pueblo Indians of the south-west offer an interesting field from this point of view, as they exemplify a people which attained a civilization in advance of all the Indians surrounding them. Then, by conditions which it is the pur pose of this dissertation to discuss, their development was arrested, and their civilization has since stood practically still. For three hundred and fifty years their history is known, and the record of their ruins carries us back much further. A careful study of their condition, their ideals and means of attaining them, may reasonably be expected to throw some light, not alone upon primitive aims and meth ods, but upon the question of the adjustment of the individ ual to the social whole and its relation to the larger prob lem of national progress. The advantage of studying a type such as the Pueblos is that the forces and methods which tend to arrest progress may be studied in operation. They are living the condi tions, so to speak, which are the object of our research. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
