Excerpt from Society, Its Origin and DevelopmentIf sociology is to have its rightful place in the world it must become a science for the people. It must not be permitted to remain the possession of an aristocracy of intellect. The heart of thousands of social workers who are trying to reform society and cure its ills is throbbing with sympathy and hope, but there is much waste of energy and misdirection of zeal because of a lack of under standing of the social life that they try to cure. They and the people to whom they minister need an interpretation of life in social terms that they can understand. Profes sional persons of all kinds need it. A world that is on the verge of despair because of the breakdown of harmonious human relations needs it to reassure itself of the value and the possibility of normal human relations. Doubtless the presentation of the subject is imperfect, but if it meets the need of those who find difficulty in using more technical discussions and opens up a new field of interest to many who hitherto have not known the difference between sociology and socialism, the efiort at interpretation will have been worth while.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
