STRONG, EDWARD KELLOGG, jr.
Introductory psychology for teachers. il $1.80
Warwick & York 370.1
A series of lessons in psychology arranged to form a classroom course. The author has planned the course on the well-known principles of proceeding from the known to the unknown, of learning by doing, etc. He describes his method in the preface: “Instead of beginning with the most uninteresting phases of psychology and those most unknown to students, the course takes up concrete experiences of everyday life, relates them to the problems of learning and individual differences, and so develops these two topics. Each general principle is discovered by the student out of his own experience in solving specially organized problems. Only after he has done his best is he expected to refer to the text and by then the text is no longer basic but only supplementary.” The sections of the book following the introduction are devoted to: The learning process; Individual differences; Some physiological aspects of psychology. There is a brief general review at the close. Charts and diagrams illustrate the book, references follow most of the chapters, and there is an index. The text is also printed in the form of seventeen booklets. The author is professor of vocational education, Carnegie institute of technology.
“There is growing up a pronounced distinction between two schools of educational psychologists. The one is interested in dealing with the relatively tangible outcomes of learning activities and is satisfied to put all explanations in the form of Professor Thorndike’s
easy, but quite meaningless, formula of bonds. The other is interested in finding out in detail the steps by which a pupil acquires his mental results. Professor Strong may be described as belonging to the first type. For that school he has rendered the service of getting together a large body of interesting examples, and he has put these examples in a more teachable form than any writers of that group who have preceded him.”

STUART, SIR CAMPBELL.[2] Secrets of Crewe house.
20–22069
Crewe house was the headquarters of the department of propaganda in enemy countries under the directorship of Viscount Northcliffe. The story of its activities and successes during 1918 are revealed in this book. According to a quotation from the Tägliche Rundschau on page 127, “It cannot be doubted that Lord Northcliffe very substantially contributed to England’s victory in the world war. His conduct of English propaganda during the war will some day find its place in history as a performance hardly to be surpassed.” The book is indexed and contains besides the portraits of the various members of the committee on propaganda and other illustrations several maps and facsimiles of the leaflets distributed by means of balloons. The contents are: Propaganda: its uses and abuses; Crewe house: its organization and personnel; Operations against AustriaHungary: propaganda’s most striking success; Operations against Germany; Tributes from the enemy; Operations against Bulgaria and other activities; Inter-allied cooperation; From war propaganda to peace propaganda; Vale!

“In Lord Northcliffe’s mentality we have always been struck with a strong vein of simplicity, which the charitable call naïveté, and the uncharitable call knavery, or stupidity. There are two signs of this quality in this book. Again and again it is explicitly stated that the propaganda told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. This is childish. No propaganda could succeed which told the truth.”

HUDSON. Winter circuit of our Arctic coast. il *$6 (5c) Scribner 979.8 20–9131
This is the author’s fourth book of Alaskan travel and describes a journey with dog-sled around the entire Arctic coast of Alaska in the
winter of 1917–18. It is not a record of discoveries of exploration and does not describe an already “scientifically known” people anthropologically but rather socially during their “normal life” which is their winter life. “My purpose was an enquiry into their present state, physical, mental, moral and religious, industrial and domestic, into their prospects, into what the government and the religious organizations have done and are doing for them, and what should yet be done.” (Preface) Besides many illustrations, two maps and an index the book contains: From Fort Yukon to Kotzebue Sound; Kotzebue Sound to Point Hope; Point Hope; Point Hope to Point Barrow; Point Barrow; The northern extreme; Point Barrow to Flaxman Island; Flaxman Island and the journey to Herschel Island; Herschel Island and the journey to Fort Yukon.

STUDENSKY, PAUL. Teachers’ pension systems in the United States. *$3 Appleton 371.17
20–2739
The book is published under the auspices of the Institute for government research, in the series Studies in administration, and is both a critical and descriptive study of the subject. It “should be not only a substantial contribution to the science of administration, but an immediate and practical aid to teachers, school authorities, legislators and all other persons interested in solving the problem of reorganizing their own systems or establishing systems ... upon bases that have been tested by experience and are in accordance with sound social, economic, and financial principles.” (Editorial introd.)
Part 1: The problem of teachers’ pensions, contains: The evolution of teachers’ pensions in the United States; The teachers’ pension problem outlined; Superannuation benefits; Disability benefits; Death and withdrawal benefits; Determining the cost of benefits; The division of cost between government and teachers; The government’s contribution; The teacher’s contribution; Compulsory participation and the right to management. In Part 2 an account is given of the movement in the United States and an examination made of the history and present condition of the more important systems now in existence. There is also an appendix, actuarial tables and a bibliography.
Booklist 16:224 Ap ’20
“In his efforts to inculcate the sound principles, Mr Studensky errs rather on the side of overloading his discussion with too much detail, which for the readers most concerned will probably lead to confusion rather than clarification. While general agreement will be found with the principles of a sound pension system discussed in the volume, Mr Studensky’s acceptance of the salary scale as the basis of the pension considerably diminishes the value of his work.”
“The book covers the subject critically and thoroughly.” Springf’d Republican p13a Ap 18 ’20 80w
“The volume will serve the purpose of a work of reference and will be of value to committees of teachers considering the establishment of a pension system. The average teacher, however, will perhaps be a little more confused by the problem after reading the book than before, mainly because it is over-loaded by too much detail and because the discussions of theory and practice are too widely separated.” I. L. Kandel
“These short studies, warmly presenting the merits of a number of contemporary poets with much illustrative quotation, first appeared in 1916. The additional chapters are on John Drinkwater, ‘Michael Field,’ (Katharine H. Bradley and Edith E. Cooper), Thomas Hardy, J. C. Squire, Contemporary women poets (Anna Wickham, Helen Parry Eden, Anna Bunston, Olive Custance, Eva Gore Booth, Margaret Radford), and W. B. Yeats.” The Times [London] Lit Sup

“The fact is that Miss Sturgeon’s criticism leans toward sentimentalism, and not only because she tends always to stress the good, the true, the perennially sad. Her writing clings too close to its matter even when she is at her best, which is in interpretation of the thought and melody in giving passages; and her exquisiteness of appreciation tends in one way or another to impede the flow of critical thought. One poet seems in retrospect very much like another.” C. M. Rourke

The story is a fairy tale of what the genius of one man can achieve in developing the powers of nature. Robert Fisher Clark was a man of vision, of action, of unusual concentration, and of hypnotic personality. At a glance he takes in the possibilities of the Rapids of St Mary’s and the surrounding wilderness. Immediately he is at work
developing plans and attracting the necessary money and good-will by his personal magnetism. But the test of his greatness comes when human covetousness and stupidity wrests the fruits of his labor from him after the end of seven years and he is ready to acknowledge that he has worked in the service of humanity not for his own gain. He abandons everything, even the woman he loves, to the equally wholehearted love of his engineer and seeks new fields for his activity.

“James Sully’s latest book, ‘My life and friends: a psychologist’s memories,’ is the record of a man devoted to music and literature as well as to his technical subject. The book is not burdened with formal information about himself. It does not tell us the date of his birth, or the name of his wife, or the number of his children. It begins the narrative of his life by a description of the sleepy Somersetshire town of Bridgwater, where he was born, and ends with a chance remark on Sicilian painted carts. It touches upon the circumstances of his childhood in a Nonconformist family and of his early education in Baptist schools; upon his student days in Germany under Ewald and Lotze; upon his literary and professional work in London, where he became professor of philosophy in University college. But it dwells most affectionately upon his vacations and upon the men and women whose intimacy or acquaintance he enjoyed.” Nation

20–9018
“Until the completion of this work, there existed no comprehensive book on the absorbing study of asbestos.... The uses and scope of asbestos having now become universal, it has long been felt that a book thereon was much needed, so few people really understanding
the subject; and the author (for many years closely associated with the industry), while avoiding as far as possible too dry and tiresome technicalities, has dealt with everything of real interest and utility in a concise and popular style to appeal to every class of reader.” (Foreword) There are illustrations by the author and from photographs and the book is indexed.
“The volume on ‘Asbestos’ decidedly suffers by comparison with its companion volume [on ‘Zinc’ by T. E. Lones] as the author does not take care to avoid a number of errors, which, though common enough in the trade, ought not to find their way into a book of this description.”

SUMMERS, WALTER COVENTRY. Silver age of Latin literature. *$3 Stokes 870
The period covered is from Tiberius to Trajan. The preface says: “The term ‘Silver Latin’ is often applied loosely to all the postAugustan literature of Rome: in this book it has been reserved for that earlier part of it which, in spite of a definite decline in taste and freshness, deserves nevertheless to be sharply distinguished from the baser metals of the imitative or poverty-stricken periods which followed.” (Preface) A chronological table is followed by discussions
on: The declamations and the pointed style; The epic; Drama; Verse satire; Light and miscellaneous verse; Oratory; History, biography and memoirs; Philosophy; Prose-satire and romance; Correspondence; Grammar, criticism and rhetoric; Scientific and technical prose. There are notes on translations and an index.
“The book contains some smooth translations, of which, as might be expected, the renderings from the satirists are probably the most successful. Without stating any particularly fresh theory, Mr Summers covers the old ground very thoroughly.”
“In ‘The silver age of Latin literature,’ we are given a text-book, admirably written and closely digested, that is an open door to a literature that often amazes us by its evident modernity.”
Y Times p14 Ja 16 ’21 1500w
“Rather dull. But Prof. Summers is full of learning on the period which is not commonly mastered by classical students; and his record is so thorough that it should not be neglected.”
This is a republication of Prof. Sumner’s book on ‘Social classes’ with an introduction by his successor to the chair of social science at Yale university, Albert Galloway Keller. Prof. Keller thinks that our age, more than any other, needs an unflinching statement of the individualistic position, of laissez-faire. “At a time when the world is menaced with the curtailment of civil liberty and the paralysis of individual initiative through weird and grotesque developments of socialism ... the man who takes to heart the truths of this little book cannot be led by the nose even into that pseudo-open-mindedness that toys with bolshevism and anarchism.” (Foreword)
“The book is a brilliant piece of writing, an impassioned vindication of individualism, a resolute arraignment of the social meddling and social doctors that were popular in 1883, are now, and perhaps always will be.”

If he has nerve enough to drive an automobile through the streets of a large city ... he can take himself off the ground in an airplane, and also land a thing vastly more difficult and dangerous.” (Introd.) The authors also claim that aeronautics in the future must cease to be a highly specialized business, that the airplane will become a conveyance of everyday civilian use and that what they have written is based on actual accomplishments to date.

Mr Gosse and Mr Wise, who edited Swinburne’s letters and a collection of “Posthumous poems, ” have prepared the first selection from his works since the one compiled by Watts-Dunton in 1887. This early volume, the present editors say, “ was not broadly characteristic of Swinburne’s many moods and variety of subjects.” The aim has been to make the new selection more representative.
“Without having at hand the older volume of selections made by Swinburne himself it may yet be said that the present selection is a good one. It would have been more ‘representative’ if it had included one or two of the ‘Songs before sunrise,’ and the omission of ‘Laus veneris’ and especially ‘The leper’ is regrettable. What one would like to have would be a volume of selections including these poems and omitting the two choruses from ‘Atalanta,’ and another volume containing the whole of ‘Atalanta.’” T. S. E.
