The Logical Process of Social Development. A Theoretical Foun- dation for Educational Policy from the Standpoint of Sociology. By John Franklin Crowell. Henry Holt & Co. Pp. ix+358. The author aims to solve a double problem, viz.: "First, to deter- mine in a theoretical outline the nature and logical method of the social process ; second, on the foundation of these results to determine the normal educational policy for the community" (Preface, p. vi). The present volume is devoted to the first part of this task, viz., "that of arriving at such an interpretation of the logical process of social development as will serve for a conceptual outline of social policy in which education may take its normal part in national progress." A second volume is promised, applying the results presented in this book to actual conditions. The author's presentation of " the sociological basis" is in the following form :
