Social Reclamation a Study in Service (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Social Reclamation a Study in Service This book is the second in a series written for the social study circles which now exist in many colleges and congregations. For this purpose it needs to be short. To those who have previous knowledge of any branch of work here mentioned it must seem most inadequate, if not altogether devoid of freshness. I shall be content if the general reader finds it a guide to the main branches of social service, suggestive of some ruling principles, and a stimulus to further study. The usual notes for use in circles are published in separate form. I gratefully acknowledge the help given to me by Miss Mary Mathews in the collection of my material, and by Mr A. Paterson of the Oxford Medical Mission in Bermondsey, by the Rev. J.Harry Miller, of the New College Settlement, Edinburgh, and especially by Mr Martyn Trafford, Travelling Secretary of the Student Christian Movement, in criticism and constructive suggestion on the arrangement of my material and the statement of my case. I have also to thank Mr F. James Matheson, Secretary of the British Institute of Social Service, and Mr E. E. Hayward, honorary advisor on Housing to the same Society, Miss S. A. Walker, of the Southlands Training College, Miss Jevons, of the London Apprenticeship Association, Miss Kelly, of the Charity Organisation Society, Soho, and Captain St John, of the Penal Reform League for guidance in my reading, access to unpublished information, and valuable advice in relation to the parts of the subject where I relied upon their special knowledge, and all the Societies mentioned in this book, who courteously supplied me with facts about their work.
