Infant Mortality, a social problem, by GEORGE NEWMAN, with 16 diagrams. Methuen & Company, London, 1906. pp. 356+40. This book is a very comprehensive and careful study of the subject, more so than any other in the English language. It is methodic and systematic and treats of the following topics: Present Position and Incidence of Infant Mortality, Distribution, Mortality in Great Britain, the Fatal Diseases of Infancy, Ante-Natal Influences on Infant Mortality, the Occupation of Women and Infant Mortality, Epidemic Diarrhoea, the Needs of Domestic and Social Conditions, Infant Feeding and Management, Preventive Methods (1) The Mother, Preventive Methods (2) The Child, Preventive Methods (3) The Environment. Schule und Brot, von HELENE SIMON. Voss, Leipzig, 1907. pp. 90.* This vigorous little monograph opens by setting forth the necessity of natural food for infants. Next follows a discussion of the problem of school feeding as it is represented in Germany and elsewhere and the effects of different kinds of food. Another chapter is given to the school canteen of Paris and the Volks kitchen, with a brief history of the same. Then follows the discussion of under-nutrition in England and the propositions to remedy the evil. The author's conclusion is that bread comes before school, that there should be public regulation of school feeding and that large responsibility is placed upon the parents. The outlines of a desirable law covering all present forms of the evil are hastily sketched. Körperliche und geistige Entwicklung eines Kindes in biographischer Darstellung nach Aufzeichnungen, von MILICENT WASHBURN SHINN. Bearbeitet und herausgegeben von Prof. W. Glabbach und G. Weber. Gressler, Langensalza, 1905. pp. 645. Miss Shinn's thesis on the physical and mental development of the child is here translated into German with a number of additions and supplemental matter prepared with the aid of the author. The two translators well compare the book in value and thoroughness to that of Preyer. The work as a whole is too familiar to American psychologists and educators to need any further review in its new form. The Paidologist, the Organ of the British Child-Study Association. Norman, Sawyer & Co., London, March, 1907. Vol. IX, No. I, PP. 35. This number contains In Memoriam (Dorothea Beale); Children in Literature, by Mary Innes; Color Sense of Young Children, by Will S. Monroe; Infancy and Schools, by Kate Palmer; Reviews; Branch Reports; Recent Development of Child-Study in the United States, by Theodate L. Smith; The Conference Arrangements and Council Agenda.. Sexology. Edited by Wm. H. Walling, M. D. (The Family Medical Edition.) Puritan Printing Company, Philadelphia, 1904. pp. 232. The author says, "We present this work with pardonable pride, believing it will be the means of saving many lives and a vast amount of suffering and needless unhappiness." The full page portrait of the author, who is a professor of gynecology in an Eastern College, indicates him to be a kindly man. His point of view is eminently well meant. He tells boys that "vice is a creature of such hideous mein He treats of youthful vice, gives letters of his patients, whom he seems to have very greatly helped, tells how they do things in Germany and Holland, quoting a number of names from these and other countries, enlivens his pages with striking anecdotes and compares the sexes in an original way, both in prose and poetry, describes the causes of sterility, the physiology of pregnancy with plenty of practical precepts for child-birth, and finally gives some good conjugal principles and truths, ending with the excellent one, the only recipe for "permanent happiness in wedlock, Christianity." The General Need for Education in Matters of Sex. Published by the Chicago Society of Social Hygiene. Chicago, 1907. This is the most valuable and suggestive little pamphlet we have yet had upon this subject, which is at last beginning to attract the attention it deserves. It is composed of brief essays by ten authorities and is published by the Chicago Society of Social Hygiene at the modest price of twenty-five cents. It is very plain and should be in the hauds of every teacher. Familienforschung und Vererbungslehre von ROBERT SOMMER. Barth, Leipzig, 1907. pp. 232. This valuable methodology of study upon heredity and family pedigree discusses such problems as family, race, psychopathic degeneration, individual talent and insanity, criminality, development, discipline, the loss of inheritance, the methods of investigating families, coats of arms as a part of genealogical drafting and physical and psychological investigations from the standpoint of heredity, the history of a family from the 14th to the 20th century, family romances, family consciousness, regeneration and nobility. This work is directly designed to develop family pride, to give it an intelligent basis and to make it effective for moral, social and hygienic life. It is a unique book with peculiar merits and, it must be admitted, not without defects that are inseparable from a so novel attempt. Commercial Raw Material, their Origin, Preparation and Uses, by CHARLES R. TOOTHAKER. Ginn & Company, Boston, 1905. pp. 108+9. Here is indeed something new and strikingly suggestive for education, although whether it belongs more in the field of geography, commerce or contemporary history might be a matter of debate. Here are fifty maps of commercial distribution of perhaps a hundred or two commercial products. In the study of these latter our schools are far behind the best in Europe. This volume contains not only the locality, but the origin, the process of preparation and the uses of the more important commercial materials. The maps each cover a page, and those representing the world and all the areas producing wheat are colored green with an intensity proportionate to the yield of wheat. Corn is treated in the same way and followed out through its husks, leaves, cob, its uses for food, dextrine, glucose crop, sugar, corn oil, gluten, etc. Upon some maps several of these products are represented by different colors and there are occasional illustrations of processes. The range of topics considered includes the more important commercial products of the animal, vegetable and mineral kingdom. The book is a valuable thesaurus of information about all sorts of things. Die Entwickelung der zeichnerischen Begabung, neue Ergebuisse auf Grund neuer Untersuchungen, von STUDIENRAT DR. GEORG KERSCHENSTEINER. Carl Gerber, München, 1905. pp. 508. This sumptuous work with 800 figures and forty-seven chromos is one of the most interesting and elaborate yet produced upon this subject. The author treats the development of the ability to draw without systematic outer influence, tracing the development of man, of animals, plants, industries, space and ornament. He then traces the development of this talent as influenced by instruction in school, treating of the material, the physical and the psychological conditions, certain demands of art, natural gifts for drawing together with suggestions for the practice of the art. The Short Story, its place and structure, by EVELYN MAY ALBRIGHT. The Macmillan Company, New York, 1907. pp. 260. The aim of this book is not to trace the origin or the development of the short story, but to set forth some standards of appreciation of what is good in story writing, illustrating by the practice of the masters as contrasted with amateurish failures. Hence, the work treats of gathering material, the motive as the source of plot, the plot itself, mechanism, unity of impression, the title, characterization, dialogue, setting, realistic movement, fancy, the emotional element and the spirit of the author. To this are appended lists of reading and suggestions for assignment of stories and constructive exercises, together with a bibliographical note citing other literature upon the same subject as this book. The literature under the reading list is distinguished as motive and various plots, viz., the detective, ingenious and problem plots, together with plot unities, dramatic sub-divisions, impressionism, character sketches, a series of development of character, how it seems in emergencies and in contrast, literature illustrating the dialogue, setting, dialect, stories of fancy, love, pathos, humor and child life. The book is the embodiment of a very happy thought. The author has read widely and remembered well and attempts to bring others to her standpoint. Considering the fact that it is one of the first and decidedly the most ambitious effort in the field, it is highly praiseworthy. Nevertheless, the honest reviewer must admit that it is rather light and a little gossipy, and that the feminine standpoint, though unintended, is too evident. Das moderne Amerikanische Besserungssystem, by PAUL HEER. Kohlhammer, Berlin, 1907. pp. 455. The author has visited America and been greatly interested in our reformatory institutions. In the first chapter of his book he gives the history and theory of the new reformatory, beginning with the Cincinnati Congress of 1870 and ending with a very full description of Mr. Brockway and his methods at Elmira. The next chapter is devoted to the organization of these institutions, their organic law, the age of the convicts, the nature of their offences, their previous criminal record and various other statistical data, but it is the indeterminant sentence which chiefly impresses Dr. Heer. This view implies that the offender is morally ill and the institution a hospital in which he must remain until he can be discharged cured. Another important chapter is devoted to the treatment of convicts, the house, marks, daily routine, correspondence, visits, discipline, food, work, school methods, religious service, reading, physical exercise, museums, societies. He then discusses the various stages of enfranchisement, the parole, the periodic reports to the authorities, the recall of those provisionally set free and at last, the final and complete freedom.
