Excerpt from Poverty

The existence Of this book, one Of a series Of elemen tary introductions to Sociology, is a happy sign of the times. Students 'of social science are everywhere multiplying, and there is a great call for guidance from many who, filled with a holy discontent with the numerous manifestations of poverty, seek to equip themselves with understanding Of, and power to battle with, the evils they deplore. It is for such that Mr. Reason has written the following pages, and the student will find in them not merely a careful presentation Of essential facts, but a stimulating and suggestive essay, which, while necessarily dealing chiefly with material things, never loses sight of the fact that man does not live by bread alone, and that, in the words Of one Of Ruskin's noblest contributions to the Larger Bible: The final outcome and consummation Of all wealth is in the producing as many tas possible full-breathed, bright-eyed and happy-hearted human creatures.
