wonderful development colleges have
 shown In these studies!
 l All these varieties of work in cities
 should rest on thorough knowledge, and
 can be easily promoted and wisely guid-
 ed by working libraries of the best so-
 ciologlc literature.
 Boston has for few years past been
 purposing to organize such library on
 some central site, free for study to all
 who wish perhaps, also, a bureau for
 lectures and conferences and concen-
 trated interest, influence and co-opera-
 ton.
 Ought not every great public library
 to set apart ample facilities for sociolog-
 ic study with the best and newest lit-
 erature gathered into convenient al-
 coves easy of access and always open? Ought not somewhere in the United
 States a central bureau be established | to gather digest, edit, and, if need be, | translate valuable publications, and on | some simple Judicious scheme dessem-
 mate selected portions widely through
 the cities which are eager for sound data, but lack facilities as yet, where
 workers in charity can learn the results
 of the action, experiment or thought of
 other cities or writers?
 am ashamed of the condition of Bos-
 ton in this regard. The time has come
 to put our sociologic work and study
 on worthler and more thorough basis of scientific knowledge.
