“Whether one agrees with all Dr. Ward’s thesis or not, he will profit by a careful study of this book. In correctness of statement, and in rigorous application of scientific methods, it is to be commended to all who have occasion to write upon matters social.” Carl Kelsey.

“This great book is a noble crown to the author’s philosophy. No writer has presented so powerfully the claims of education as a conscious social policy. No one has so vindicated the worth of the teacher’s work.” Edward Alsworth Ross.

Wardle, Jens. Artistic temperament. †$1.50. McClure.
7–21364.
“Mr. Stephen Cartmel is a painter. He is engaged to a young woman with a rich father, and all the qualities which serve best to steady a man with the artistic tendency to flit from flower to flower. She is not beautiful, but she is serious, womanly, and staying and she loves him protectingly. Then Mr. Stephen Cartmel journeys by cab into Tooting to call upon a neglected school friend.... And he meets the friend’s pretty wife—who began by being his typist, and has been starving all her life for art, romance, and beauty. Delia Blaicklock sits to Mr. Cartmel for her portrait—and the artistic temperament gets in its work.”—N. Y. Times.
