Book Description

Excerpt from Inebriety in Boston The following pages contain a report of an investigation of inebriety in Boston made by the writer from November, 1907, to September, 1908, for the Russell Sage Foundation. The investigation was carried on under the auspices and as a part of the work of the Research Department of the Boston School for Social Workers. I wish to thank Professor C. W. Doten, head of the Research Department, for advice and assistance given at every stage of the investigation and of the writing of this report, and Professor F. H. Giddings, of Columbia University, for suggestions and criticisms made during the revision of the manuscript.
