Pirscher, Johanna. Growth without end: a popular exposition of some current ethical and religious views. **30c. Crowell.
7–21388.
One of the year’s additions to the “What is worth while series.” An optimistic discussion of the good resulting from the active principle of evolution and the work of modern sociology—good that shows itself in courtesy and generosity in daily intercourse, strength of purpose, devotion to duty and in a simple practical faith in God.
Pitman, Isaac. Pitman’s dictionary of commercial correspondence in English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian. $2.25. Pitman.
A valuable aid to the foreign correspondent. It gives the most common commercial terms and phrases. It does not attempt to displace, but rather to supplement other dictionaries, and it presupposes some knowledge of the grammar and construction of the different languages.
