Study made under the auspices of the Interchurch World movement
and subject to criticism on the ground of religious bias.
Gardner, Monica M.
The Poles in Siberia. In S. R. 7:752-5. Je. '29.
Gargas, S.
The Polish emigrants in France. In S. R. 5:347-51. D. '26.
Ledbetter, Eleanor E.
The Polish immigrant and his reading. 40p. Chic. Amer.
Library Assn. 1924.

America precedes a list of books in the Polish language, recommended
as a beginning collection for public libraries.
Thomas, William I. and Znaniecki, Florian
Polish peasant in Europe and America. 2d ed. 2v. N. Y.
Knopf. 1927.
This great work, originnally published in 5 volumes, is designed for
the student of social organization and family life.
v. i comprises a study of Polish family and community groups.
v. 2 treats disorganization and reorganization in Poland; organiza-
tion in America, with the autobiography of an immigrant in
America.
The material used consists of original letters and family documents,
with interpretative comment.
Polish people deplore the thot that this study may be taken as a
representation of their race. They say that the cases studied were from
the lowest social scale; that the average Polish peasant is a man of
character, self-respect and pride; and that "disorganization" is a matter,
not of race, but of changing social conditions.
