| Summary |
"The Survey, Volume 30, Number 5, May 3, 1913" by Various is a historical publication focused on social and civic issues, likely written in the early 20th century. This volume explores various surveys and social investigations aimed at improving community welfare, highlighting the role of citizens, organizations, and governmental entities in addressing social problems. The text underscores the growing recognition of the importance of surveys in crafting informed community initiatives. The opening of this publication presents a detailed account of the emergence and significance of the "survey idea," which many cities across the U.S. have embraced for evaluating and improving local conditions. It describes how various communities have mobilized to conduct pathfinder surveys that diagnose their issues, largely driven by the belief that healthier and more comfortable living conditions enhance both civic life and economic viability. Through specific examples, such as the Topeka survey led by local citizens and findings from Springfield and Scranton, the text illustrates a concerted effort by communities to tackle social challenges collaboratively, signaling a notable shift from a reactive to a proactive approach in addressing civic issues during that era.
