Vorträge und Aufsätze. Von DR. GOTTLIEB SCHNAPPERARNDT; herausgegaben von DR. LEM ZEITLIN. Tübingen: Verlag der Laupp'schen Buchhandlung. 1906. Schnapper-Arndt is well known as a German continuator of the work of LePlay and author of elaborate studies of families. Zeitlin tells the story of his life and edits the essays on "Theory and Methods," "German economic and culture history," and social political sketches. Professor K. Bücher has added some interesting criticisms in the Zeitschrift für gesamte Staatswissenschaft (4, Heft, 62. Jahrgang, 1906). THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO C. R. HENDERSON Anarchism and Socialism. By GEORGE PLECHANOFF. Translated with the permission of the author by ELEAnor Marx AVELING. With an introduction by ROBERT RIVES LAMONTE. Chicago: Charles H. Kerr & Co., 1908. Pp. 148. This is one of a series of reprints of socialistic literature published for purposes of propaganda. The treatment is a wellreasoned defense of Marxian socialism as over against utopian socialism on the one hand and nihilism and anarchism on the other hand. The treatment is conventional, and the chapters on Proudhon and Bakounine are especially readable. C. R. H. Twenty-fourth Annual Report of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. New York, 1907. Pp. clii+894. Albany: State Department of Labor. This valuable document contains articles on the economic conditions of labor in 1906, trade and labor unions, health conditions in the printing trade, returns from unions, and British rules for the regulation of certain dangerous trades. C. R. H. The Elimination of the Tramp. By EDMUND KELLY. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1908. Pp. xxii+111. $1.00. This is a sane and instructive plea for the Swiss labor colony plan of dealing with vagrants. The analysis of the class is very suggestive; the social conditions of vagabond are fairly portrayed; and a definite, reasonable method of treatment is set forth. The author hardly makes proper allowance for differences of subjects and situation in Belgium and Switzerland, and he might have enriched his argument by using the collection of expert opinions presented at the Budapest meeting of the International Prison Congress in 1905, on the subject of outdoor labor for convicts. This book is a notable addition to the discussion. C. R. HENDERSON Les sociétés coopératives de Consommation en France et à l'étranger. Préface de M. Paul Leroy-Beaulieu. By J. CORRÉARD. Paris: P. Lethielleux, 1908. I vol. Pp. 301. This little volume is a convenient account of the development and present condition of the co-operative movement in various countries, with a critical estimate of its importance. C. R. HENDERSON The Common Sense of the Milk Question. By JOHN SPARGO. New York: Macmillan, 1908. Pp. xiv+351. If all socialists kept as close to reality as Mr. Spargo does in this book they would improve their reputation for sanity. One must follow the sources in order to detect occasional errors; the best available authorities are apparently followed, and the author has investigated the milk supply for himself. The style is tense with the emotion of human sympathy; the value of the human infant is the basis of the argument; the various factors of the argument are logically analyzed; and a practical programme of reform is urged with literary power. C. R. HENDERSON Eleventh Annual Report of the State Commissioner of Prisons of New York, 1906. Pp. 345. This illustrated report contains the results of inspections of jails, penitentiaries, and other prisons in New York, with discussions of topics of interest in relation to the treatment of offenders. Every state should have equally careful reports about the condition of county jails. C. R. H. The Federal Regulation of Child Labor. By EDGAR GARDNER MURPHY. Montgomery, Alabama: Alabama Child Labor Committee. Pp. 38. No one should commit himself irrevocably to the BeveridgeParsons bill for federal regulation of child labor without first reading this thoughtful argument. C. R. H. The Young Malefactor: A Study in Juvenile Delinquency, Its Causes and Treatment. By THOMAS TRAVIS. With an introduction by BEN B. LINDSEY, judge of the Denver Juvenile Court. New York: Thomas Y. Crowell & Co., 1908. Pp. xxviii+243. $1.50. From this essay one may gain a fairly complete and accurate summary of the evidence relating to the sources of juvenile lawlessness; the evidence being taken from observations in reform schools, in laboratories, and in cities. To considerable reading the author has added a certain number of personal studies. The bibliography has important defects, but indicates significant books. The neglect of E. C. Wines, F. H. Wines, A. Marro, Baernreither, Folkes, Herr, and G. S. Hall, is a serious matter, and suggests apprentice work, but work full of promise. C. R.
