Dawson, William Harbutt. German workman: a study in national efficiency. *$1.50. Scribner.
“In this volume William Harbutt Dawson gives an account of what the state is doing for the working classes in Germany. The book is a history, not an argument; a book of information not of philosophy. The reader will rise from the perusal of it impressed by the fact that the least democratic state in western Europe is also, at least in one sense of the term, the most socialistic state.... The book contains twenty-two chapters, each chapter devoted to a specific department of state provision of one sort or another for workingmen.”—Outlook.

“A volume which, if not attractively written, is probably the most convenient guide for English readers who would venture into the mazes of German ‘Sozialpolitik.’”
