CHANCELLOR, WILLIAM ESTABROOK. Educational sociology. *$2.25 Century 301
19–17183
“Although the author, who is the head of the Department of political and social science at the College of Wooster, states in his preface that the work is written as an introductory textbook in sociology from the educational point of view, it is hardly that, but rather a work on social psychology, in which field it is very successful. Part one, on Social movement, treats public opinion, citizenship, social solidarity, custom, tradition, habit, rules of the game, revivals, panics, crazes, strikes, political campaigns, and similar topics. Part two, on Social institutions, does not take up the evolution of social institutions, but is a study of the organization and control of society through its institutions, taking up the state, property, the family, the church, the school, occupation and under minor institutions, charity, amusement, art, science, business, and war. Part three, on Social measurements, consists of seven chapters. The one on institutional workers treats the value placed upon different groups of institutional workers, as lawyers, doctors, teachers, business men, artists, and entertainers.”—Survey
