“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.”
