Excerpt from Race and Population Problems This book, which is designed as a general introduction to population problems, is an outgrowth of the author's fifteen years of study of racial problems and his seven years' experi ence in teaching courses in population in universities. In it he has endeavored to combine the old type of textbook with the more recent type of a book of readings, and has striven to refrain from injecting his own conclusions. Such a method as here employed acquaints the student with the viewpoints, many of which conflict, entertained by numerous scholars, without subjecting him to any single view held by an indi vidual author. While it is impossible as well as highly im practicable to include all that has been written on the topics selected, the author has attempted, in the some 650 quotations and citations used, to present the major as well as some of the minor contributions to the field of population. The his torical point of View, from which the text is written, enables the student to grasp something of the complexity in the devel opment of population problems. If this book in any way helps to fulfill the need for a suitable text, created through an increasing interest in population and the rapid inclusion of population courses in colleges and universities, the author feels that his efforts have been rewarded.
