American Public Problems Series

Edited by RALPH CURTIS RINGWALT

Chinese Immigration

By MARY ROBERTS COOLIDGE, Formerly Associate Professor of Sociology in Stanford University. 531 pp., $1.75 net; by mail, $1.90. (_Just issued._)

Presents the most comprehensive record of the Chinaman in the United States that has yet been attempted.

“Scholarly. Covers every important phase, economic, social, and
political, of the Chinese question in America down to the San
Francisco fire in 1906.”--_New York Sun._

“Statesmanlike. Of intense interest.”--_Hartford Courant._

“A remarkably thorough historical study. Timely and useful.
Enhanced by the abundant array of documentary facts and
evidence.”--_Chicago Record-Herald._

Immigration: And Its Effects Upon the United States

By PRESCOTT F. HALL, A.B., LL.B, Secretary of the Immigration Restriction League. 393 pp. $1.50 net; by mail, $1.65.

“Should prove interesting to everyone. Very readable, forceful and
convincing. Mr. Hall considers every possible phase of this great
question and does it in a masterly way that shows not only that he
thoroughly understands it, but that he is deeply interested in it
and has studied everything bearing upon it.”--_Boston Transcript._

“A readable work containing a vast amount of valuable information.
Especially to be commended is the discussion of the racial effects.
As a trustworthy general guide it should prove a god-send.”--_New
York Evening Post._

The Election of Senators

By Professor GEORGE H. HAYNES, Author of “Representation in State Legislatures.” 300 pp. $1.50 net; by mail, $1.65.

Shows the historical reasons for the present method, and its effect on the Senate and Senators, and on state and local government, with a detailed review of the arguments for and against direct election.

“A timely book.... Prof. Haynes is qualified for a historical and
analytical treatise on the subject of the Senate.”--_New York
Evening Sun._

Studies in American Trade-Unionism

J. H. HOLLANDER and G. E. BARNETT (Editors)

380 pp., 8vo, $2.75 net. By mail, $2.98.

Twelve papers by graduate students and officers of Johns Hopkins University, the results of original investigations of representative trade-unions. There are also chapters on Employers’ Associations, the Knights of Labor, and the American Federation of Labor.

“Though confined to particular features of particular trade-unions,
the data dealt with are comprehensive and typical; so that the
result is a substantial contribution to our knowledge of
trade-union structure and functions.... Excellent studies.”--_New
York Evening Post._

The Labor Movement in Australasia

By Dr. VICTOR S. CLARK of the Carnegie Institute, Washington. 327
pp. $1.50 net. By mail, $1.63

A book written in a simple, untechnical, and very impartial fashion, and one that is full of very valuable suggestions affecting our own labor troubles.

“ ... Useful and timely.... Mr. Clark will perhaps disappoint alike
the extreme radicals who regard Australasia as a workmen’s paradise
and grow enthusiastic over the progress made there by socialism,
and those other extremists who like to be told that Australasia is
doomed to bankruptcy and famine and demoralization as the result of
socialism and the violation of ‘natural law’. He writes judiciously
and fairly, and indulges in no extravagant prophecies of either
sort.... The book is very valuable for its facts and the
impartiality with which they, and the conditions to which they are
due, are presented.”--_Chicago Evening Post._

“Not being a doctrinaire, he has much of value to say.”--_Chicago
Record-Herald._

The Negro and the Nation

By GEORGE S. MERRIAM

Probably the first complete history of the negro in his relation to our politics. 436 pp. $1.75 net. By mail, $1.92.

The Rev. EDWARD EVERETT HALE in “Lend a Hand”: “Sensible people who
wish to know, who wish to form good sound opinions, and especially
those who wish to take their honest part in the great duties of the
hour, will read the book, will study it, and will find nothing else
better worth reading and study.”

“A deeply interesting story.... An exceedingly readable
volume.--_Boston Transcript._

=McPherson’s Railroad Freight Rates=

In Their Relation to the Industry and Commerce of the United States.

By LOGAN G. MCPHERSON, author of “The Working of the Railroads.” 8vo. With maps, tables, and a full index. $2.25 net, by mail. $2.42.

This study of the freight rate structure is so comprehensive and thorough as not only to be exceedingly valuable to anyone having to do with railroad freight traffic either as a railroad official or as a shipper, but it is also a most fascinating exposition for the general reader of a subject which has not hitherto received a popularly intelligible presentation. It offers to younger men the only means of knowing how the present freight rate system has been evolved.

“An exceedingly important book.... Not only the best existing
account, but it is easily the best book on American railway
traffic.... We have little hesitation in expressing the opinion
that it will stand as the standard reference work for a good many
years, and from the standpoint of public policy we are exceedingly
glad that the book has been written. The country would be better
governed if the legislator, state and national, had to pass an
examination upon it before taking his oath of office.”--_Railroad
Age Gazette._

“A book the nation has needed.”--_New York Sun._

=McPherson’s The Working of the Railroads=

By LOGAN G. MCPHERSON, Lecturer on Transportation at Johns Hopkins. 12mo. $1.50 net; By mail $1.63.

“Simply and lucidly tells what a railroad company is, what it does,
and how it does it. Cannot fail to be of use to the voter. Of
exceeding value to the young and ambitious in railroad
service.”--_The Travelers’ Official Railway Guide._

“The most important contribution to its branch of the subject that
has yet been made.”--_The Dial._

“The author’s connection with practical service gives this a value
which no other book quite equals. Up-to-date, informing, ... an
excellent piece of work.”--_Wall street Journal._

=Carter’s When Railroads Were New=

By CHARLES FREDERICK CARTER, with an Introductory Note by Logan G. McPherson. 16 full-page illustrations, 8vo, 312 pp. $2.00 net, by mail $2.16.

A history of the every-day difficulties, discouragements and triumphs of the pioneers who built and ran the early railroads. With many anecdotes that add to the abundant human interest.

“Full of interest. Besides the general chapter on the beginnings,
it gives the early history of the Erie, the Pennsylvania, and the
Baltimore and Ohio, of the Vanderbuilt lines, the first Pacific
railroad, and of the Canadian Pacific. Very readable.”--_N. Y.
Sun._

“Invaluable. It gathers the floating fragments of railroad history,
weaving a human interest into a coherent record of every day trials
and triumphs. A human and personal document, not a dry historical
treatise or a batch of anecdotes.”--_Baltimore Sun._

“No book of adventure contains more exciting episodes or more
varied interest. Every page is of live interest. So replete with
curious information, thoroughly entertaining and
instructive.”--_Brooklyn Eagle._

By the Professor of History in McGill University. 18 illustrations. 8vo. $2.75 net, by mail $2.90.

gives as clear a notion of what the old régime was at its best as
may be found anywhere in a single volume.”--_Literary Digest._

Transcript._

=DARWINISM TO-DAY= By V. L. Kellogg.

By the author of “American Insects,” etc. 8vo. $2.00 net, by mail $2.12.

“Can write in English as brightly and as clearly as the oldtime
Frenchmen.... In his text he explains the controversy so that the
plain man may understand it, while in the notes he adduces the
evidence that the specialist requires.... A brilliant book that
deserves general attention.”--_New York Sun._
