gaged in industry, who were asked by the Manchester Liberal Federation to consider what ought to be the main lines of a Liberal industrial policy." From the

working classes."

FACTORY ADMINISTRATION IN PRACTICE. By W. J. Hiscox. London: Sir Isaac Pitman and Sons, Ltd.? Formerly manufacturing establishments were run by trained mechanics without experience in, or a devel

oped sense of, business administration, with the result that the work of production was not organized and ad ministered as an efficient machine within itself, and with the further result that there was no proper corre lation of production with the selling end of the busi ness. How scientific factory management has in recent years overcome some of these defects in English fac tories is well told by the author of this volume who has had sixteen years of practical experience through close association with many well known manufacturing firms in England.

A NEW CONSTITUTION FOR A NEW AMERICA. By William MacDonald. New York: B. W. Huebsch, Inc.?The author, assuming that a convention were called for revising the Federal Constitution, proposes a Constitution which in his opinion would fit current needs. The book is interesting because it treats the whole problem of proposed changes in the Constitu tion as a unit.

his profit because the suggestions made throw the pres ent constitutional system into bold relief by way of contrast and deepen one's understanding of it.

DANIEL BOO NE AND THE WILDERNESS ROAD. By H.

Addington Bruce. New York: The Macmillan Com pany.?The printing of the second edition of this fascinating story of America's adventurous migratory period gives opportunity to call it to the attention of those who have not read it, and to remind them that after they have read it they should not forget to take it home to their boys to read.
