Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Sociology, for Social Workers, and General Readers I dwell on these points of method partly because sociology is a comparatively new study (in spite of the labours of the Sociological Society), partly because young scholars are inclined to be too timid, afraid of mak ing mistakes or of breaking with tradition. And the issue affects that wider circle of readers who are eager to study social questions but hesitate because of their lack, or supposed lack, of qualifications of an academ1e kind. There are many men and women, (those e.g. Associated with the w.e.a. And many others who have not even a remote connection with Universities) whose mental habits are quite consistent with an approach to psychology or sociology, if they can be brought to realize that the subject-matter of these studies lies all round them, and needs only to be selected in the light of large principles. One might go further: for it is now apparent that philosophy can only be created, and re-created, when its roots are spread abroad in the common soil, but to pursue this theme would carry us beyond the range of a preface.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Sociology, for Social Workers, and General Readers This book does not aim to cover all the topics which would be included in a comprehensive text-book; it is just an Introduction, although the treatment is systematic since my motive in taking up the study was to strike a clear path for myself through the jungle of social questions. Some problems of great importance, as for example the institution of land-tenure, of marriage, are left on one side: others have received a more extended notice,, probably because the upheaval of Europe during the recent years has thrust these into prominence. The central theme of sociology, as here conceived, is the definition of social groups, their classification and their relations to each other. Taken apart such study is an intellectual exercise placing a number of conceptions in a rational order, like pieces on a chessboard: the difficulty which the task presents does not lie so much in the effort of thought as in the variety of sciences which the student has to turn for his materials. Anthropology, biology, psychology, history, to say nothing of politics, theology, education, all in turn have to be requisitioned. I cannot pretend to a mastery of these great fields of research and shall not hope to escape the strictures of those who are qualified to handle such disciplines. Some of the more obvious defects have been removed by the kindness of those who have read the pages in proof: the rest are on record.
