Published in 1963, this book offers a critique on the processes by which professional sociologists were being educated in the graduate schools of the United States at the time. It aims to promote higher and more uniform standards of basic scientific training for sociologists. It is not a balanced account of the development of sociology but an assessment of the performance of graduate schools and any discrepancies in training.

This book, published in 1955, is a successor to Joanna C. Colcord's Your Community: Its Provision for Health, Education, Safety, and Welfare, published by the Russell Sage Foundation in 1939. It is designed as a broadly conceived working manual of community study aimed at not just social workers, like its predecessor, but a more varied group of citizens. It details procedures for conducting the survey, both in its organizational and methodological aspects.

Two separate but often overlapping inquiries were conducted to secure the data presented in this book, involving the study of wages, education, and the particular conditions surrounding a seasonal occupation.
