“In this volume the author first outlines the problem of equipment and
then proceeds to discuss the formation of an administrative
organization, the adjustment of the relations of labor and capital,
and, finally, the process of mercantile distribution. The aim of the
book is two-fold—to trace the application of the scientific method in
industry and to point out the efficiency of an economic policy based
upon welfare and service.”—R of Rs

“The proportions of the work are not perfect. Too much space is
devoted to the highly technical subject of ‘layout of a manufacturing
plant’ and not enough to modern aids to an enlightened administration.
The treatment of cost accounting is far too meager and there is
nothing at all on managerial statistics and the graphical presentation
of facts. Nevertheless, the ground in general is covered with judgment
and as thoroughly as a work of moderate size addressed to the general
reader would permit. At the end of each chapter is a well-selected

This work was written in 1913. It is based on a study made in
Alsace-Lorraine at that time. Writing then, before the war, Dr Jordan
compared Alsace to a cyclone center—the quiet place within the storm
where there is no movement. Alsace was then the least war-like place
in Europe. An Alsatian expression of opinion is quoted as typical:
“War is the worst possible solution of our problems, because war is no
solution. With war there is never a solution of any question. ... If
France should gain Alsace by war, it would be only the beginning of
another war, and so on without end.” Contents: The “nightmare of
Europe”; The German point of view; Alsace-Lorraine as “Reichsland”:
The French point of view; Nationalism. The material of the book
appeared in part in the Atlantic Monthly for May, 1914.

=JOYCE, JAMES.= Portrait of the artist as a young man. *$1.50 (2c) Huebsch 17-4707

The story of the childhood, boyhood and youth of a young Irishman. It
is extremely subjective and at times difficult to follow in its
intricate turnings and abrupt transitions. From babyhood onward,
Stephen is a lonely soul. At an early age he is sent to a Jesuit
school where, altho he is evidently popular with the boys, he seems
more than ever alone. He lives a secret life and during adolescence
falls prey to the temptations of sex that lie in wait for the young.
The agony of his remorse, his fear of confession, and the peace and
exaltation that follows it, are among the most vivid impressions the
book gives. The Catholic influence is strong thruout his early life.
At one time he is led to think that he has a “vocation,” but when the
book leaves him at the beginning of early manhood, he is leaning
toward agnosticism.

“The book has an irresistible effect of sharp, first-hand reality. But
as a treatment of Irish politics, society or religion, it is
negligible.”

“Such a book would have been impossible forty years ago. Far from

entirely pleasant. But it has such beauty, such love of beauty, such
intensity of feeling, such pathos, such candor, it goes beyond
anything in English that reveals the inevitable malaise of serious

The author calls this “an introduction to the archæology of the states
of Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and the West Indies.” His aim has
been to treat the archæology of these districts in a manner similar to
that of his earlier books on Mexico and South America. He says: “The
geographical area covered by the book is one which is still very
imperfectly known from an archaeological point of view; the people
inhabiting it in early times were not so highly developed,
politically, as the Mexicans or the Peruvians, and the literature
dealing with them is neither large nor easy of access. Still a summary
of the known facts may be of use, if only in performing the function
of a signpost for future investigators.”

A second edition largely rewritten. The writer points out the
principal changes and elaborations: (1) “The present edition goes
further than did the first in working out the doctrines of functional
psychology, especially in so far as these use motor processes in
explaining mental organization; (2) The doctrine of attitudes which
was presented in the first edition has been much expanded; (3) The
applications of psychology have been elaborated, especially through a
new chapter on mental hygiene; (4) The view with regard to the
importance of consciousness in evolution which was set forth in my
paper before the American psychological association in 1909 has been
adopted as a guiding principle in this volume. In keeping with this
view, the chapter on volition has been wholly rewritten, and several
earlier sections have been largely worked over.” The chapters only
slightly modified are: 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, and 17.

“The significance of this revision for educators is enhanced by the
fact that the author, for most of the ten years which have elapsed
since the first edition, has been actively engaged in the teaching and
administration of education. This has meant that the functional aspect
of mental life, in which it is regarded as active, and doing something
in the organism which it inhabits and in the world outside—this aspect
which was already emphasized in the first edition is still more
clearly defined in the additions which appear in the second edition.

This play, translated from the Icelandic, was given its first
production in Copenhagen in 1914. In spite of its difficult fourth
act, which had made managers hesitate to attempt the play, it was an
instant success. The other Scandinavian countries accepted it with
equal enthusiasm and preparations for its presentation in Germany were
only cut short by the war. It is a four-act tragedy on the theme of a
proud woman’s betrayed love. Even in the pages of the printed play,
Hrafnhild, called Hadda Padda, stands out as a very vital creation. In
his drawing of her character and in the working out of the last act,
the young dramatist reveals his northern heritage. There is an
appreciative foreword by Georg Brandes.

=KAWAKAMI, KIYOSHI KARL.= Japan in world politics. *$1.50 (2c) Macmillan 327.52 17-21929

Writing from Peking in 1917 the author of “American-Japanese
relations” and “Asia at the door” tells us in his preface to this book
that prior to 1901 he was one of the founders of the Social Democratic
party in Japan. His experiences in America subsequent to that date
caused him regretfully to turn from the socialism and trade unionism
he met here because he found them to mean a brotherhood between
western nations only. “I have come to the conclusion,” he says, “that
socialism cannot be achieved until the relations between the East and
the West are radically changed.” That such a change may mean the
averting of the world catastrophe that the future centuries will
otherwise see is his reason for this attempt to “serve mankind by
removing some of the misunderstandings now casting a dark shadow upon
the relationship of the two nations.” Most of the chapters of this
book were originally published as separate articles in the North
American Review, the Atlantic Monthly, and other periodicals. Among
the topics discussed are: The Japanese instinct of self-preservation;
America’s issues with Japan; Is America preparing against Japan?; Land
hunger: the background of the immigration question; Japanese
immigration to America; The Pacific coast and the Japanese; The
expatriation of the Japanese; The open door in China; Japan and
America in China; Japan’s blunders in China; America and Japan in
Korea; Japan and the Philippines; Japanese “designs” upon Mexico;
America and the Anglo-Japanese alliance; America and German-Japanese
relations; America and the Russo-Japanese entente.

“The author’s sympathies are with Japan in American-Japanese
questions, though his presentation of his views is reasonable and
sane. He feels that the Monroe doctrine is unjust to small overcrowded
nations and that unhindered immigration is necessary for a permanent
peace. He attempts to justify Japan in China and Korea and to allay
suspicion of German-Japanese relations.”

throughout are as unpleasantly unfair as if they came from a

=KAYE-SMITH, SHEILA.= John Galsworthy. (Writers of the day) il *60c (4c) Holt 823 A17-395

The author ranks Galsworthy higher as a dramatist than as a novelist.
His strong points, craftsmanship and sense of form, stand out with
distinctness in his plays, and his weakness in character drawing is
not so evident. Types are more successful than individual characters
on the stage. Furthermore Galsworthy is more successful in his plays
than in his novels because most good plays are founded on a situation;
most good novels on the development of a situation; “and development
is not a characteristic of Galsworthy’s art.” Two chapters are devoted
to the plays, two to the novels, one to the sketches, and a final
chapter considers Galsworthy the artist.

“The title of this volume will suggest to many readers something in
the vein of the ‘Christian year.’ But Mr Keary’s religion is not
Keble’s. It is not orthodox, not even Christian, at all. In his
prefatory note he says that the poems are chosen, out of a quantity of
verse he had ready for publication, as more suited than others to ‘the
gravity of the time’; and, he adds, ‘the title “religious” which I
have given them is to be construed in this sense, the literary one;
the sense in which Herrick often uses the word.’ ... The truth is that
religion in Mr Keary’s use means not something fanciful which poets
have invented, but what it actually meant for the world of Greece and
Rome before the coming of Christianity.”—The Times [London] Lit Sup

This “record of personal experiences and observations during a

Colver lectures for 1917 at Brown university. Dr Keen is emeritus
professor of surgery in Jefferson medical college, Philadelphia. His
professional experience covers the period from the “old horribly fatal
surgery of the Civil war” to the present. He has watched surgery
emerge “from a septic purgatory into an aseptic paradise,” and he very

The word “crumps” is trench slang for a bursting shell—“on account of
the sound they make, a sort of cru-ump! noise as they explode.” The
author is a young Canadian artist who writes of the early days of the
war, illustrating his account with his own drawings. He touches
lightly on war horrors in his text; but some of his pictures are very

The sixth volume of the Mythology of all races is made up of two books
in one. The first part, Indian mythology, is by A. Berriedale Keith,
regius professor of Sanskrit and comparative philology in Edinburgh
university. The author has limited his subject by restricting the
treatment as closely as possible to the mythology that is closely
allied to religion in India. Part 2, Iranian mythology, is by
Professor Albert J. Carnoy of the University of Louvain, now research
professor in the University of Pennsylvania. He says, “The purpose of
this essay is exactly set forth by its title: it is a reasonably
complete account of what is mythological in Iranian traditions, but it
is nothing more; since it is exclusively concerned with myths, all
that is properly religious, historical, or archaeological has
intentionally been omitted.” The illustrations of the volume are
deserving of special mention. Among them are a number of fine color
plates.

“Both accounts well fulfil their purpose as popular summaries; both
will also prove valuable to specialists. The most satisfactory
chapters of Keith are those on the Rig-Veda, the Brāhmanas, and the
Epic. The chapter on Buddhism, the most difficult one to write, is the
least satisfactory of all.” W. E. Clark

Chapters from this autobiography have appeared in the Atlantic
Monthly. It gives a series of impressionistic pictures from a girl’s
life from childhood up to her eighteenth year. As a little girl she is
both mischievous and imaginative. She lives partly in a dream world
and invents long and involved romances, of which a handsome actor and
a western ranch are features, she herself playing the part of a boy.
As she begins to grow up, the narrative seems more artificial and some
of the incident and the mixing of the dates of certain known events
give the impression that the whole is a piece of fiction.

“It is obvious that its writer has striven hard to write something
strikingly original, and that she frequently makes the sad mistake of
thinking that freakishness is identical with frankness, and that
self-searchings and their public confession are as interesting to the
reader as to herself. ... The confessions are too artificial to carry
with them the convincing power of truth.” E. F. E.

name. That was one of the reasons that led him to go off to California
leaving his clothespin factory in Jim’s charge. If there was anything
in the younger man, he wanted to see it come out. In less than a week

The author has brought together a group of the original narratives of
the early French explorers of the Great Lakes and the upper
Mississippi. These narratives, as she says, are “full of the charm of
brave deeds, of heroic endurance, of abiding enthusiasms, and of
famous achievements.” Among them are records of the adventures and
explorations of Nicolet, Radisson, Allouez, Marquette, Jolliet, La
Salle and Tonty, and Duluth. Three facsimiles of old maps illustrate
the volume.

“All of the narratives thus brought together are elsewhere printed,
but not all are readily available, nor are all English versions
complete or trustworthy. The Tonty memoir, here given in full, should
prove useful to students of a wider field than that to which this
volume is specially devoted. For all of the journals, Miss Kellogg’s
abundant annotation is helpful. The clearly-penned introduction to
each narrative not merely summarizes it, but informs the student of
what printing it has already had, either in French or English, and
makes plain the editor’s choice of text. Not the least interesting
feature of the work is a facsimile of a contemporary map drawn to
illustrate Marquette’s discoveries. The volume as a whole bespeaks
