Charles E. (Charles Eugene) Morris

Charles E. Morris, identified in library records as Charles Eugene Morris and born in 1884, was an American nonfiction author whose published work spans public affairs and youth guidance. A HathiTrust catalog record credits him as the author of Progressive Democracy of James M. Cox, published in 1920.

Later bibliographic records list him as the author of Counseling with Young People (Association Press, 1954) and The Group Leader as Counselor (Association Press, 1963, drawn from the earlier book). Taken together, those titles suggest a writer interested in practical leadership, counseling, and the challenges of working with young people.

Little biographical detail was easy to confirm beyond his name form and birth year, so the surviving picture is mainly through his books. Even so, the range of subjects attached to his name gives the sense of an author focused on public life and useful guidance rather than literary fame.
