In this edition a considerable amount of new material has been introduced relative to the growth, nutrition, diet and supervision of older children, thus attempting to fill a need often expressed by mothers who have relied upon the manual as a guide for the period of infancy.”

The Comrades in service company club was started at Gievres, France by Dr O. D. Foster. In May, 1919, a movement was started in the club by Capt. Leon Schwartz to offer three prizes for the three best essays on the topic “Home—then what?” The three prize essays, a number of selected essays, and selected extracts constitute this volume. They have been collected and arranged by James Louis Small, and John Kendrick Bangs has written an illuminating foreword. The prize essayists are: Marcelle H. Wallenstein; Joshua B. Lee; and George F. Hudson.
