The plan of the present book is to give the student who takes but one course in sociology a general idea of the whole science, and to give to the student who continues the subject a foundation for advanced work. Emphasis is placed upon those subjects that will be of greatest practical value to the student, such as immigration, the race question, the family, poverty, and crime, although other phases of the science, such as the evolution of institutions and the general principles of social theory, are not neglected. After taking up the definition of sociology, the author discusses one by one certain of the fundamental problems. First comes a study of population, birth and death rates, and movements of population. This leads to those perplexing elements, immigration, the overcrowding of cities, and race antagonisms. The next two parts deal with society and its problems from within the evolution of the family and the home, religion, ethics, and education, social control and organization. Then come its maladjustments, poverty, crime, immorality, and the treatment of defectives. It will thus be seen that the authors purpose has been to present a broad view of the fundamentals as the first step to the study of sociology itself. At the end of each chapter a list of references is given, which will broaden the readers equipment on any special line in which he may be interested. While this book is primarily intended for students of sociology, it is by no means limited in its appeal to them. It presupposes no previous training in the subject, and for this reason we hope will prove equally valuable to students and general readers who are interested in the problems confronting modern society. The author endeavors to show that our handling of all these problems is constantly on a higher and more enlightened plane.
