A pioneering exploration of housing legislation published in 1914, this book examined the little housing laws in the country at the time, tenement house laws in New York City. It proposed a model housing law which later influenced a number of state and city legislators throughout the country to adapt the proposal into their own laws. An updated and expanded edition was published in 1920.

LAWRENCE VEILLER was secretary of the New York State Tenement House Commission, and First Deputy Tenement Commissioner of the Tenement Department of New York City.

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.

Published in 1920, this paper attempts to explain why school officials and voluntary organizations were not pulling together to expand the school's use as a social center—uncertainty as to the people's will.
