The object of the book is to show the relation of service measures in
industry to increased production and aims to give in a single volume
the material available in part in other books, pamphlets and
monographs. It deals with the problems of labor administration which
have to do with “obtaining and holding the employes,—technical
training, education, and promotion,—methods of remuneration, and of
providing savings and loan facilities with insurance against accident,
sickness, old age, and death,—the length of the working hours,—the
work environment,—medical supervision,—opportunities for recreation
and self-development on the factory premises,—and housing and living
conditions.” (Introd.) Contents: Hiring and holding; Education;
Working hours; Working conditions; Medical care; Method of
remuneration; Refreshment and recreation; The employer and the
community; Insurance, savings, and loans; Organization of the
department of labor administration; List of references; Index.

This volume consists of a translation of twenty-eight lectures given
to laymen. They are conversational in tone and follow the inductive
method, the author building up his evidence from case after case. He
deals little in general statements and in the course of one of the
early lectures speaks as follows: “I have not invited you here to
delude you or to conceal anything from you. I did, indeed, announce a
‘general introduction to psychoanalysis,’ but I did not intend the
title to convey that I was an oracle, who would show you a finished
product with all the difficulties carefully concealed.... No,
precisely because you are beginners, I wanted to show you our science
as it is, with all its hills and pitfalls, demands and
considerations.” There are four lectures on the psychology of errors,
eleven on the dream, and thirteen on general theory of the neuroses.

=FROTHINGHAM, THOMAS GODDARD.= Guide to the military history of the world war, 1914–1918. *$2.75 Little 940.4

20–16505

The object of the book is to give a general perspective of the war
from a military and strategic point of view. “At the present time a
detailed history is out of the question, but it is now possible to
write a narrative that is complete, in the sense of giving a reliable
synopsis of the strategy and grand tactics of the whole war.”
(Introd.) To accomplish this purpose the author has confined himself
to comparing and checking up the official statements and bulletins
given out by the different governments during the war and has not
measured military results merely by victories and conquest of
territory but by their costliness in life and material as well. Among
the contents are: The great German offensive of 1914; Military events
on the Russian front; New military situation after the defeat of the
great German defensive of 1914; Offensives of Entente allies, 1915;
Italy in the war; The war on the sea, 1915; German offensive of 1916
against Verdun; The war in the air; The United States in the war; The
final campaigns. The book contains twenty-three maps, an appendix, a
table of dates, a bibliography and an index.

=FURNISS, EDGAR STEVENSON.= Position of the laborer in a system of nationalism. *$2 Houghton 331

20–18599

The book is one of the Hart, Schaffner and Marx prize essays in
economics and is a study of the labor theories of the later English
mercantilists, 1660–1775. The author holds that the dominant
nationalism existing in England between the years 1660–1775 bears a
fundamental likeness to the revival of nationalism caused by the war.
The former period, known by the term “mercantilism,” has come to stand
for a relationship of economic rivalry between nations and the
theories and policies that governed it. The reverse side of this
mercantilism is the domestic economy of the nation and it is with this
side, illustrating the reaction of nationalism upon the life
conditions of the people and upon labor, that the book deals.
Contents: The doctrine of the national importance of the laborer; The
doctrine of employment; The doctrine of the right to employment and
the duty to labor; The enforcement of the duty to labor; The doctrine
of the utility of poverty; Theories of wages; Conclusions. The
appendix contains chapters on the economic, social and moral life
conditions of the English laborer, 1660–1775, and the book has a
bibliography, a subject index and an index to authors.

[Publisher has withdrawn book from circulation.]

The book completes the author’s trilogy on the phases of woman’s life;
the other two books being: “The four epochs of woman’s life” and
“Personal hygiene and physical training for women.” In the present
volume she briefly sketches the vital epochs of the history of our
social institutions and points out that today the institution of the
family is threatened by three fatal excrescences: prostitution, free
love, and divorce. She lays bare the causes of these evils and
suggests remedies which will insure the greatest amount of social
happiness and the best possible progeny. Among the contents are: Rally
to save the American family; Primitive man’s problems of marriage and
the family; Marriage and divorce laws in primitive society and ancient
civilizations; Various aspects of the modern divorce problem;
Prostitution, social disease, and marriage; Alcohol and race
degeneracy; Sex education as a solvent for the double standard of
morals and celibacy; Problems of betrothal; The problems of marriage;
The rights of the child, eugenic marriages, the limitation of
offspring; Woman’s economic independence and the disintegration of the
family; References; Index.

This is the story of a family drudge awakened to a sense of
independence thru a marriage which turns out to be no marriage at all.
Miss Lulu Bett “makes her home” with her sister, and when her
brother-in-law’s brother comes to visit after nineteen years
wandering, she startles her self, no less than the family, by marrying
him. She goes away with him but at the end of one month comes back.
She had found out that Ninian already had a wife living, and as Miss
Lulu Bett she again takes up her position in her sister’s house. But
there is a difference, as Dwight Deacon finds out when he tries to
bully her into keeping his brother’s falsity a secret. Then comes

“Essays on the re-fixing of moral standards.” (Sub-title) Of the
“hideous abuses” created by three generations of industrialism and
brought to a climax by the war, the author is considering those
affecting the position and moral standards of women. The book is an
attempt to distinguish between a “too ready acceptance of the fashions
of the day,” and a “too loyal obedience to the prejudices of
yesterday.” Accordingly she would curb the too frantic present day
rebelliousness of women by a return to the Jewish ideal of marriage as
a religious duty, and praising the perfect feminist ideal inherited by
the Jewish women. On the other hand she would facilitate divorce,
would lift the burden of illegitimacy from the shoulders of innocent
children, and would procure some sort of honorable recognition for
sexual partnerships outside of marriage. The essays are: Introductory;
The prosperity of fools; The covenant of God; That which is wanting;
“Give, give!” If a child could choose? Foreseeing evil; Conclusion,
