A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following pages have been written in the hope that they might contribute something toward the effort now being made by humanity, particularly in theW estern world, to gain control of the conditions of existence in the interest of the common welfare. The application of the principles of social science during the past fifty years to specific problems of human relationships has demonstrated that it is possible for humanity, through a better imderstanding of the conditions of human existence and of the forces operating in human relationships, to control those conditions and forces in such a manner as to yield a larger measure of human welfare. That there are principles of efficiency in personal conduct has long been recognized. That the efficiency of limited groups, such as business organizations, is dependent upon the operation of well-defined principles, which -may be discovered and applied, is no longer questioned. It has been a logical step to accept the belief that the efficiency of the life of the group at large is also subject to the presence or absence of welldefined principles. This last step is the basis for the earnest effort now being made by students of social phenomena to develop a science which will enable human beings to so order their social relationships as to secure a maximum of commcwi welfare with a minimum of waste of social energy through maladjustment of their organized life to community needs. The widely increased interest in the sociology of the small community during the past few years is the expression of a definitely felt need of a better understanding of the problems of efficient living in those communities. The drift to the cities from both rural and village groups, which is characteristic of all theW estern world, is based upon conditions which must be understood if they are to be adequately controlled.

About the Publ

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
