Chapter X: Section 2: relates to generators, stationary transformers and station (4)

A book which emphasizes the social aspects of rural communities and
describes some of the newer movements resulting in the expansion of
country life. It “does not offer a complete analysis of the rural
problem; but attempts, in general, to present some of the more
significant phases of that problem, and, in particular, to describe
some of the agencies at work in solving it.”

“Mingled with the crash of fierce battles we find other strange
accounts of enchanted gardens, snorting dragons, beleaguered forests,
imprisoned maidens, and knightly guests as fine as any ever inspired
by that other Eastern hero, Haroun-al-Raschid. In most of them Rustum
himself appears, mounted upon his wonderful horse, Rakush, whom every

The economics of railway operation are treated under seven heads: (1)
Organization; (2) Employment, education and discipline of forces; (3)
Accounts and accounting; (4) Reports; (5) Economic operation; (6)
Analysis of operations and control of expenses; and (7) Betterments.
“The book outlines briefly these main features of different aspects of
operating topics, shows their inter-relation, and goes into

these features is controlled by instructions and reports submitted to
the higher railway officers.” (Engin. Rec.)

A book whose sole aim is to help young people find expression in words
for the feeling of beauty which pictures inspire in them, and to put
some idea into the reader’s head that will lead him to find more and
more beauty in pictures, in nature, and in life. The elementary
principles of art analysis are outlined as the basis of criticism, and
illustrations are furnished from the work of representative artists.

The sixth volume in the “Appreciation series.” The promise of good
things which the foreword, a little classic, gently intimates is
fulfilled in large measure in the chapters that follow it. The author
invites his reader at the start to take a comfortable seat in front of
the curtain, then proceeds from an analysis of the sensations of the
man in the audience to a review of some of the salient considerations
that affect the appreciation of the drama, viz., a brief history of
the drama, the art of acting and stage management, the building of a
drama technically; and from these facts of experience past and present
deduces principles for a basis of critical appreciation.

* * * * *

“He takes up the subject as a new thing, without prejudice, and he
says again many of the old, old things with a fresh buoyancy of
spirit. His historical chapters are exceedingly interesting and free
from tedious details, and his discussion of the pictorial side of the
contemporary stage, of the deficiencies in lighting in spite of the
modern machinery, and the need of what he calls plastic scenery, is
novel and suggestive.”

Paul’s experiences and teaching interpreted from the standpoint of the

violence done to the apostle here: Paul the mystic is Paul at his
best. In this respect I think that Dr. Campbell’s book is to be
welcomed: it awakens distrust of those rationalistic accounts of the
apostle’s character, in which everything really divine in his life and
doctrine is relegated to the irresponsible void of religious fancy,
where anything may happen.... Throughout the book, Paul’s mysticism is
shown to be the vital, originative, principle in religious experience;
it is, in fact, the highest expression of his faith.” (Hibbert J.)

protestantism on the other, under the name of modernism really
represents a return to the primitive Christian evangel, freed from its
limitations and illusions.” Mr. Campbell believes that the present
