Carver, Thomas Nixon, comp. Sociology and social progress: a handbook for students of sociology. *$2.75. Ginn.
A book designed to be used as the basis for class-room discussions or to furnish collateral reading to a course of lectures. The author has gone out-side of systematic treatises on sociology for observations upon the phenomena of society, upon the laws of social growth and decay, and upon the problems of social improvement, and has presented them in form for the student and the general reader as well. The discussion is in three parts: part 1, The nature, scope and method of sociology; part 2. Sociology as a study of social progress—the direction of social progress; part 3. The factors of social progress.
