Excerpt from The Coming Generation
The feeling of social responsibility which characterizes our day has led to severe criticism of various phases of our modern world, and to innumerable plans for social reconstruction. In consequence, the actual achievements of social betterment have been frequently overlooked in our sense of imperative tasks and our distrust of Utopias. Nevertheless, steady advance has been made in correcting evils and in establishing laws, institutions, and precedents looking toward the genuine improvement of social conditions. The present series of volumes undertakes to describe accurately this advance for the general reader. Although written by specialists in their particular fields, the plan and method of each volume are not technical. The great reading public has been pretty thoroughly informed as to our social liabilities; the present series will list our social assets. Such a presentation it is believed will not lead to a complacent optimism, but will serve to reassure the rapidly growing class of those who are ready and even eager to join in all practicable efforts to right evils but who, at the same time, wish to maintain the continuity of social evolution.
