A TEXT-BOOK ON
HUMAN PHYSIOLOGY For College Stutdents
By AUGUST KROGH, PH.D., LL.D. Professor of Zoophysiology in Copenhagen University, Copenhagen, Denlllark
Revised aad Edited By KATHERINE R. DRINKER, A.B., M.D.
Formerly Researeh Assistant in Applied Physiology, Harvard Medical School, and Managing Editor, Journal of Industrial Hygiene, Boston, Massachusetts
12mo, 233 pages, with 108 engravings. Cloth, $2.75, net
This book, already famous abroad, has been entirely rewritten, revised, and adapted to meet the particular needs of American students of college grade. It fills the gap that has so long existed be- tween the elementary texts for secondary schools and the larger and more advanced books designed for professional schools and graduate students. Its distinguished author presents his subject concisely, rigorously excluding all unessential details.

SWIMMING Its Teaching, Mainagement and Progr-am Organization
By GRAnCE BRUNER DAVIESs, A.B., M.A. Assistant Professor of Physical Education, University of Cincinnati; State Chairman of the Ohio Ex-
ecuitive Committee of the National Amateur Athletic Federation; Examiner and Institute Instructor in the American Red Cross Life Saving Division 12mo, 173 pages, fully tllustrated. Cloth, $2.26, net
This book emphasizes the value of swimming for exercise and health, life-saving methods and the responsibility of the teacher. The technique is clearly and fully presented; the material is easily ac- cessible; the classifications and organization of material is clear and helpful; each of the standard strokes is defined and analyzed; the common faults are pointed out and the correctives prescribed. It supplies theory and practice for those majoring in physical education, for instructors, trained and par- tially trained, and for students who wish to improve their strokes.

A HAND-BOOK OF
OCULAR THERAPEUTICS By SANFORD R. GIFFORD, M.A., M.D., F.A.C.S.
Professor of Ophthalmology, Northwestern University Medical School, Chicago, Illinois. Attending Ophthalmologist, Passavant, Wesley Memorial and Evanston Hospitals
12mo, 272 pages, illustrated with 36 engravings. Cloth, $3.25, net
There has been a need for a new book in ocular therapeutics. This work, by a recognized authority, is concise, simple, and thoroughly up-to-date, covering every recent advance of real value in its field. It avoids the confusion of too much information so characteristic of the larger books in this subject which makes it difficult to select the essentially valuable procedures from the purely traditional ones. It confines itself to methods of proven effectiveness.

Edited by J. McKEEN CATTELL The BIOGRAPHICAL DIRECTORY OF LEADERS IN EDUCATION will take a place among
the most important works of reference. Material for the book has been in course of collection for a number of years along the lines of the Biographical Directory of Ameri. can Men of Science, which in successive editions has been a standard work for twenty- five years. The two directories are under the same editorship, as are also Science and School and Society, weekly journals, the former of which since 1895, the latter since 1915, have maintained the highest position in the fields of science and of education.
The BIOGRAPHICAL DIRECTORY OF LEADERS IN EDUCATION contains biographies of over 11,000 of those in America who have done the most to advance education, whether by teaching, writing, research or administration, a careful selection from the million educational workers of the United States and Canada. They are those to whom daily reference is made in the press, from whom all positions of importance are filled. It is a work essential to all who have relations with those engaged in educational work, necessary to every reference library.
LEADERS iN EDUCATION, like School and Society, aims to bring unity and common interest into educational work, covering the field from the nursery school and before to the university and after, including libraries, museums and social agencies as important factors in education. Like American Men of Science it is more than a compilation; it is a contribution to the advancement of education.
Not only on the editorial side but also in mechanical production, the book will main- tain the standards of American Men of Science, being well printed and well bound, a book satisfactory for any student or any library to own, to show and to use.
Advance orders will be filled first; later orders may need to await a new edition.

An Agency of Cooperation in the Interest of Physics established by
The American Physical Society The Optical Society of America The Acoustical Society of America The Society of Rheology
This new Institute will be governed by a board composed of representatives of the four societies named. Through it
these Societies aim better to serve Physics and Physicists. They desire to establish closer relations with other national and local groups of research workers, teachers and students in the field of Physics. They will study the financial and other problems of the physics journals. Finally they offer the services of the Institute to other Societies, to the Public and to the Press.
Correspondence should be addressed to the Director

PROHIBITING MINDS 1 and the Present Social and Economic Crisis
BY STEWART PATON, M.D. Lecturer on Psychiatry, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore
THE AUTHOR POINTS OUT ODERN LIFE is so complicated, and the pace so fast that
[VI we do not have time to think through any problem -the result is that we do not know what to do when difficulties arise, so we prohibit. We cultivate the prohibiting attitude of mind toward life. We try to prohibit war, economic depression, the incidence of crime, insanity, etc.-and the result is that we have war, business depressions, and a great many people who commit criminal and insane acts, and we also succeed in doing most of the things that C"we would not." When we rely upon this negative prohibiting attitude to get us, and keep us out of trouble we practically give up control of the ship. Instead of depending upon some construc- tive, creative idea to make progress we fall back upon some "don't"-we try to play the game by putting our faith in pro- hibitive restrictions to keep us out of trouble.
