“Taken as a whole, this book is quite suggestive and inspirational. Those persons who find the original works of G. Stanley Hall a little weighty will have their minds refreshed with some of his doctrines by reading Mr Mackie’s book, in which Dr Hall’s philosophy is presented in a very readable style, yet with less tonnage than is found in his own works.” J: B. Clark

MCKIM, WILLIAM DUNCAN. Study for the times. *$2.50 Putnam 150

The author calls his study “an inquiry into thought and motive,” and this he considers imperative in these post-war times of restlessness and impatience, of fads and crazes, of hasty formulation of rights and noisy demand for their concession. Although much in this mad onward rush may be of lasting value and help towards a rejuvenation of the race, the latter, he holds, can only be accomplished through careful patient thought and a study of the limitations and frailties of our own individual natures. The book deals largely with human psychology and the findings of psycho-pathology. Contents: Introduction; Social influences; The individual mind; The knowing function; The feeling function; Conclusion; Index.

Jock had a keen relish for other people’s affairs, especially those of Scotchmen. At the military hospital he ferreted out all such and became their father confessor, their lawyer and general confidant. The book is a collection of such confessions, of wrongs committed, of secret sins, of weighted consciences. And every story had its complement. The other man always turned up and in his turn made a confession, and, thanks to Jock’s discretion, quick wit and sense of humor, there was always a righting and a smoothing over. Some of the titles are: Jock’s neebors; How Jock healed his comrade’s worst wound; The barbed wires of misunderstanding; A prank o’ the post; A maitter o’ conscience.
