Excerpt from Social Pathology There is a large group of problems dealt with in college courses of various names such as social pathology, social problems, control of poverty, etc. But there is no agreement as to the types of problems to be dealt with under these various heads; the field has not been at all carefully defined; often there is no definite viewpoint to lend unity to the course. Among the problems com mouly considered are those of Widowhood, desertion, old age, neglect of children, unemployment, tuberculosis, feeble mindedness, etc. Sometimes these problems are approached and handled rather consistently from an economic view point. Sometimes it is psychology that furnishes the touchstone. Frequently such courses are offered by depart ments of sociology, but unfortunately in these cases it is often true that there is not only no definite sociological interpretation; very commonly there is no particular unify ing element of any sort.
