“Although we cannot accept all Mr. Caldecott’s conclusions we welcome his volume as a solid and thoughtful contribution to the subject; he has boldly departed from the hard, beaten track and struck out an original line, and his reward will doubtless be an increased interest in the investigation of the problem he has so vigorously attacked.”
