STUDY OUTLINE SERIES QUESTIONS OF THE HOUR SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, INDUSTRIAL PREPARED BY JUSTINA LEAVITT WILSON THE H. W. WILSON COMPANY WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., AND NEW YORK CITY 1917 The Study Outline and Its Use The series includes outlines on art, literature, travel, Biography, history and present day ques- tions. The outlines vary in length. If more topics are given than the number of club meetings for the season, those topics that are more difficult to handle or on which there is less available material, may be dropped. If there are fewer topics than the scheduled meetings, certain topics may be divided. Lists of books are appended to most of the outlines. It would be well for the club to own some of the recommended books. Others can be obtained either from the local public library -or from the state traveling library. When, very full lists are given it is not necessary for any club to use all the books, but the longer list leaves more room for choice. The best material on some subjects may be found, not in books, but in magazines. These may be looked up under the subject in the Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature. Maga- zine articles and illustrated material may be ob- tained from the Wilson Package Library. For terms see fourth page of cover. A list of the study outlines now in print will be found on page three of this cover. For later additions to the list write to publisher. QUESTIONS OF THE HOUR SOCIAL, ECONOMIC, INDUSTRIAL STUDY OUTLINES based 'on twenty-two volumes in the Debaters 9 Handbook Series and the Handbook Series PREPARED BY JUSTINA LEAVITT WILSON THE H. W. WILSON COMPANY WHITE PLAINS. N. Y.. AND NEW YORK CITY 1917 INTRODUCTORY NOTE In offering these nineteen lessons it is hoped to in- troduce the reader and student to the most concise, reliable and well organized material to be found on the subjects under discussion. The Debaters' Handbooks upon which the outlines are based contain reprints selected from magazines, pamphlets and official documents to cover all phases of the question considered. Material which is not re- printed is listed in the complete bibliographies included in the handbooks. The volumes may all be found in any well equipped library. In most instances the heading of the lesson is the same as the title of the handbook to which references are made. When more than one handbook is used for a lesson, footnotes indicate the grouping. A few arti- cles are listed which are not found in the handbooks. In that case the date of the issue is given. References are also made to a few books. The subjects are all timely. Many of them are unsolved social, economic and industrial problems which are pressing for solution and are demanding general participation, at least to the extent of an independent, intelligent opinion. 347859 HANDBOOKS UPON WHICH OUTLINE is BASED Agricultural Credit Edna D.
