WHAT is socToLoGYs

Much is said about sociology in these
latter days. 1t is quite The proper thing
for those who affect an intellectual role
to belong to clubs and societies which
have classes in sociology. The college
which calls itself a university has its
professor of sociology, who doubtless
assumes to teach something which he
imagines he has thought out and labeled
with that name. Recently several of
the learned gentlemen who have made
this subject special study seem to have
been trying to devise a definition for So
GEOLOGY. One has given one definition
and another has discussed what it is in
a learned treatise-so learned and so
intricate that the person of average in
telligenee cannot understand it. Still
another, who has been examining these
definitions-Professor Powers, of Smith
College-comes down to the level of or
binary mortals, and. in review of a
textbook on the subject, asks: What
is sociology, anyway" That is what
great many people would like to know
But, SO far as the teachers are con-
cerned, the disciples are likely to re-
main in ignorance for some time In
the last issue of the annals of the
American Academy" Professor Powers
reviews a somewhat pretentious volume
by Professors Small and Vincent, the
former the head of the department of
sociology in the Chicago University. en-
titled. AN Introduction to the Study of
Society," in manner which is far from
fiattering. He plainly intimates that
the hook mas been inspired by an ambi-
ton to be first in the field. which he
stigmatizes as scramble The critic
condemns every definition of sociology
which the Chicago professor has given.
The part devoted to a story of the de-
velopment of Western city, the Smith
College professor tells the Chicago Uni

study In colonization. Here are some
Of the definitions in the book referred to-:
Sociology Is protest against quack-
ery; 1T is not synonym for social
ISM it Is not a champion of class in
terests;' it is not the ally of any class
temporarily at Disadvantage ct is
not primarily concerned with the help
less elements of society,"" and sociology
is the scientific counterpart of charac-
teristic popular convictions If any one
had vague impression as to what So
GEOLOGY may be. the above definitions,
by a professor of that .ology.'' must
confuse rather than enlighten. Prof
Powers, the reviewer. in another article
in the Annals" gives the following
definition. Sociology is the science of
society. It's field is co-extensive with
the operation of the associative principle
in human life. The general laws of as
ISOLATION form the subject of general
sociology, a science distinct but not dis
connected from the branch sciences Of
economics, politics, etc, which rest upon
it, though in part developed before it."
This definition Is less vague than those
of the Chicago professor. but until the
pioneers in this new field Of science
shall have staked out their grounds
with some degree of defnitene and
harmony, it is not worth the time Of
the general reader to weary himself
with reading treatises in which the
vagueness Of the information of the au-
thors is betrayed by involved and con-
fused sentences. crowded with terms
which the general reader cannot under
stand. The science Of society must be
presented so clearly and simply that the
society for whose benefit it is intended
can comprehend it. No progress will
be made SO long as many of those who
are ambitious to write books on the
subject betray lack OF information or
of capacity to treat that which should
be a popular science

1t is said an effort will be made to
induce Congress to make an appropria-
ton for the establishment of a sponge
cultural station on the coast of Florida.
The sponge fisheries of Florida have
been of good deal of value, and it is
claimed by some that the government
ought to aid in the development of the
industry. Florida sponges are of
coarse variety and not nearly as valu-
able as those from some other parts of
the world. and it is proposed to make
the experiment of improving them by
introducing the spawn of a finer grade
of sponges from other parts of the world.
There may be something in the idea.
but it should be left to private enter
prise. Under this administration the
government revenues are absorbed fast
enough without going into the culture
of sponges.

Assuming. as is perfectly obvious in
every city. that the garbage must be
collected regularly, thoroughly and fire.
quently, the main points to be con-
sidered are. first, how to accomplish the
collection at the least expense to the
city. and. second. how to dispose of the
garbage in the most satisfactory and
least offensive manner. This is not al
ways an easy question to solve. but
many cities have solved it to their
satisfaction, and the authorities of this
city ought to be able to do SO.

THE GARBAGE QUESTION.

The proper disposition of city garbage
is one of the most vexatious questions
that municipal authorities have to deal
with, and one which, for hygienic rea-
sons, must be settled on right basis.
For cities which are fortunate enough
to be situated on the sea coast or near
some large lake the solution of the prob
lem is greatly simplified. New York
gets about $4,000 year from junk deal
ers for the privilege of picking over the
garbage of the city after it is collected:
it Is. then carried out to sea in barges
and dumped in the ocean. In Cleveland
the garbage is deposited in the lake,
having first been collected by con-
tractors, who utilize such parts as they
can and dispose of the remainder with
out expense to the city other than fur
nishing a scow for its transportation
Pittsburg and Milwaukee use crema-
ton. and Cincinnati las a contract with

stipulated sum for collecting the gar
bage and owns the product. In st. Paul
