CROWELL'S SOCIAL SCIENCE SERIES EDITED BY SEBA ELDRIDGE Department of Sociology, University of Kansas NEW YORK THOMAS Y. CROWELL COMPANY HN64 Voca T. Copyright, 1925 By THOMAS Y. CROWELL COMPANY Fourth Printing Printed in the United States of America DEDICATED TO STUDENTS AND TEACHERS WHO REALIZE ALIKE THE USES AND THE LIMITATIONS OF A TEXT-BOOK CS7675 EDITOR'S NOTE Messrs. Queen and Mann have contributed in the present volume an exposition of problems in social pathology, which should be of exceptional interest and importance to students and teachers of the subject. The approach is that of the case-worker confronted by concrete situations which present these problems in a challenging and oftentimes baffling form. The emphasis throughout is on such problems, rather than on generalized forms and solutions. of them. The book is admirably adapted, therefore, to the project method of learning and teaching this subject. By virtue of these and other features, the book is very nearly a model of what a college text should be, and, it may be added, a pioneer exemplar of a type of textbook that is certain to come into vogue in the field of higher education.
