Sociology and Modern Social Problems (Classic Reprint)

The generous reception and wide use which the book has enjoyed since its publication seem to indicate that there is a demand for a simple, concrete text in sociology in which methodological discussions are reduced to a minimum and the facts are drawn as far as possible from contemporary social life. The original plan of the book has not been departed .from; but when the Federal Census of 1910 necessitated extensive alterations in the book, the opportunity was taken to give it a somewhat thorough revision. Not only were statistics brought down to date wherever possible, but upon the advice of teachers using the book as a text, considerable new material was incorporated. Two entirely new chapters, one on The Bearing of Modern Psychology upon Social Problems, and the other aT heoretical Summary, were added. It is hoped that these will aid in bringing out more clearly the theoretical implications of the concrete problems studied; but as noted in the text, they may be omitted in brief courses of study, such as those of reading circles.
