Social Reclamation a Study in Service Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Social Reclamation a Study in ServiceThe title of this book calls to mind the picture of those who, in various ways, have wrecked their lives, and who must be rescued from some misery Into which they have fallen. We think of the criminal classes; but those who murder and steal do not constitute the heart of the social problem. We think of those who are indulgent and debased in personal habits, a class calling urgently for help. We think of those who have drifted into a life of shiftless incompetence or idleness, the industrial wastrels, one of the sad, characteristic products of our modern civilisation.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
