Excerpt from The Social Engineer
In presenting this work to the reading public under the given title, "The Social Engineer," I am fully conscious of its limitations with respect to the whole field of social service which has taken on technical forms in industry, in religion, in philanthropy, in medical practice, and in the ever-increasing fields of charities and correction within a very recent period. Yet I am quite sure that the subjects treated in the first part contain many of the essentials which any man should know before choosing social engineering as a lifework; and in the second part I have endeavored to point out some of the specific social tasks and to indicate some of the methods which may be of practical interest to all who feel the need of doing the things that count for most in the betterment of human society. We are conscious of the fact that today the greatest waste of time and resources is not in lack of machinery or of men, or of knowledge of the forces available for achievement, but, rather, in the lack of men who can keep others at work with the machinery, and in relation to all the forces available, without social friction.
