“Apart from these technical details, however, the book is of special value because it shows that the present relations between capital and labour were not the outcome of the factory system, but must be traced much further back.”

DANIELS, JOHN. America via the neighborhood. il *$2 (2c) Harper 325.7
21–170
The volume is one of a series of eleven books on Americanization studies of which Allen T. Burns is general director. Its point of departure is that the essential objective in any program of Americanization is constructive participation in the life of America and that this cannot be attained either by enforced conformity or the equally enforced injection of the English language and a smattering of civics. The general conclusion of the study is that Americanization does not restrict itself to the immigrant alone but to all activities that have to do with neighborhood and community problems and that it is the labor unions, cooperatives and political organizations that bring the immigrant into democratic partnership with the native American. The book is illustrated and the contents are: Americanization and the neighborhood; Inherent forces; Union through racial coherence; Colony pioneering (two chapters); The social settlement approach; The settlement’s larger opportunities; Church, school, and library; Other agencies and the neighborhood principle; Labor unions; Co-operatives; Political organization and government; The outcome.

“A volume entitled ‘The future of aviation’ contains a translation by Philip Nutt of a work written in French by Jean Dargon. There are nine full-page illustrations in the book, two maps, and numerous diagrams.” (N Y Times) “It is a discussion of the civil as opposed to the military use of the airplane, showing how it depends first of all on structure which aims at endurance and carrying power rather than agility and lightness. The author then considers practical problems; postal service, tourism, international air lines and traffic regulations.”—Booklist
