Professor Ralph E. Pumphrey of the George Warren Brown School of Social Work, Washington University, writes: “Professor Chambers has explored in breadth and depth a phase of the period 1918-1933 which has been neglected and which, as he clearly shows, throws light on the ability of the New Deal to move with the rapidity which it did in a variety of fields.”
