Synopsis

Excerpt from Scranton in Quick Review: The Report of a Pathfinder Survey of Living Conditions Which Point the Need of a More Intensive Local Survey Made for the Century Club of Scranton My dear Mrs. Gleason: Early last autumn Miss Gertrude Lovell, Chairman of the City Improvement Department of the Century Club of Scranton, called at our office for information on city surveys. The method and subjects of inquiry in several other surveys suggested a plan of procedure, and Miss Lovell returned to interest representative citizens. The proposed survey was discussed by this committee; and the committee was enlarged to include citizens who were not members of the Club. On January 20th a preliminary diagnosis or pathfinder survey - in other words, a brief examination of general social conditions and the outlining of the main lines of investigation to be followed - was urged by a member of our staff as the next step to be taken. This committee, we understand, made a report to the Century Club endorsing the proposed pathfinder survey and asking the Club to make the necessary arrangements to secure it. On February 1st your invitation, extended on behalf of the directors of the Century Club, was received. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
