“The unthinking citizen believes the problem of sewage
disposal is solved when the toilet is flushed or the bath tub is
drained. The problem may more truly be said to commence
at this point.”
From the preface:
“This book is a development of class-room and lecture notes
prepared by the author for use in his classes at the University
of Illinois. He has found such notes necessary, since among
the many books dealing with sewerage and sewage treatment
he has found none suitable as a text-book designed to cover the
entire subject. The need for a single book of the character
described has been expressed by engineers in practice, and by
students and teachers for use in the class-room. This book
has been prepared to meet both these needs. It is hoped that
the searching questions propounded by students in using the
original notes, and the suggestions and criticisms of engineers
and teachers who have read the manuscript, have resulted in a
text which can be readily understood.”
