Excerpt from Sociological Papers
2. Pioneer Researches in Borderland Problems - represented by the papers of Dr. Westermarck and Mr. H. H. Mann. The former, apart from its own value, stands here as a type of research which sociologists are forced to undertake - partly because the subject is vital to any adequate theory of social evolution, and partly because it belongs to a field not definitely cultivated by any organised body of specialists. In other words, the sociologist is himself compelled to undertake specialist research into such subjects as Marriage, War, Sport, Class Distinction, etc.; because these have not been brought adequately within any of the existing sub-sciences into which the sociological province is at present partitioned. Mr. Mann's paper - secured through the kind offices of Mr. Seebohm Rowntree - gives the results of an important investigation into the family budgets of an English village community. As a contribution to general demography, this paper may claim to rank as sociological, though professedly economic in its inception.
3. Applied Sociology - represented here by Mr. Galton's paper on "Eugenics" and Professor Gedde's on "Civics." These, though brought forward in entire independence, are yet, it will be observed, correlative. The one deals with the citizen, the other with cities. But problems of population and problems of housing, only need to be stated in the more general terms of organism and environment, for their interdependence to become manifest. It is from such points of departure as those adopted in these two papers, that, in the future, must be built up an applied science of sociology. At present the mere conception of an applied sociology is apt to startle by its novelty.
