MATHEWS, BASIL JOSEPH, ed. Essays on vocation. *$1.75 Oxford 174
“The purpose is to inculcate the importance of vocation as distinguished from mere profession or making one’s living, and the spirit of the book is ethical and idealistic. One of the essays, Vocation in art, by H. Walford Davies, is an inspiring piece of literature. The other essays are: Vocation and the ministry, by Edward Shillito; Vocation in law, by Sir E. Pollock; Vocation in the home, by Emily E. Whimster; Commerce as a vocation, by W. H. Somervell; Vocation in industry, by A. Ramage; Vocation in education, by J. Lewis Paton; The career of an elementary school teacher, by Fanny Street; and Sir William Osler’s Vocation in medicine and nursing.”—Ath

“As one might expect, a book of essays on vocation edited by Mr Basil Mathews, with contributions by such people as Mr Edward Shillito, Mr Lewis Paton and Sir William Osler could hardly be anything but good. But a good book on vocation is not good enough. It should possess, especially at such a time as this, a certain prophetic quality. It ought to be constraining, irresistible. But this is just what Mr Mathews’s book is not.” R: Roberts
