INTRODUCTION ix 



duced abundant material which the theologian has 

 as yet not appropriated. Much of this material 

 bears directly on the problem of the moral and 

 religious education of the child. And the student 

 of social conditions has been daily tracing the 

 vices and crimes of society back to their begin- 

 nings in the morally bankrupt home. There is a 

 timeliness in this discussion, therefore, which 

 ought to insure for it the wide interest and 

 thoughtful consideration which it merits.
