THE publication of the series of reports on various aspects of the Liquor Problem of which these volumes form the fourth was begun in 1897 with that on "The Liquor Problem in its Legislative Aspects," prepared under the direction of Pres. Charles W. Eliot, Pres. Seth Low, and Hon. James C. Carter, a sub-committee of the Committee of Fifty. Then followed in 1899, "Economic Aspects of the Liquor Problem," under the direction of Henry W. Farnam, Secretary of the Economic SubCommittee, and in 1901, "Substitutes for the Saloon," under the direction of the Ethical Sub-Committee, consisting of Prof. Francis G. Peabody, Dr. Elgin R. L. Gould, and Prof. William M. Sloane. Like its predecessors, this report is preliminary in its nature, and is published in accordance with a vote of the Committee of Fifty passed January 10, 1896, by which "reports by its sub-committees to the whole body may be published by authority of the Executive Committee as contributions to the general inquiry, but to all such publications is to be prefixed a statement that reports of sub-committees are to be regarded as preliminary in their nature, and only contributory of facts upon which the general discussion may in the future be undertaken by the committee as a whole."
