This volume is the second in a series of Special studies in administration in course of preparation by the Bureau of municipal research and the training school for the public service. Its object is to record in orderly fashion the long series of events that have led up to the present budget system of Massachusetts and to counteract some of the superficial views that prevail on budget-making. Among the contents, following the early financial history of Massachusetts, are: The governor and the budget, 1910–1918; The joint special committee on finance and budget procedure; Establishing the budget system; Experience with the budget in 1919; Constitutional conflict over the budget in 1920; Classification of the Massachusetts budget system; Outstanding facts in the evolution of the Massachusetts budget. The appendices contain The budget amendment of the Massachusetts constitution, and The Massachusetts budget act.

“The book is one which should appeal to the practical administrator as well as to the student of political science.” A. C. Hanford

“The study of the budget system is usually supposed to be dull and uninteresting, but Dr Gulick has succeeded in writing an interesting book.”

“It will prove exceedingly helpful to those political adolescents who imagine that a piece of legislation imposing on the governor the duty of preparing a financial plan will produce any important changes in our way of doing business.” C: A. Beard

“The author has prepared an interesting and well written history. The illustrative excerpts from political speeches and journals add decided readability to what might be otherwise tedious history.” L. D. Upson

GULICK, LUTHER HALSEY.Philosophy of play. *$1.60 (3c) Scribner 790

20–4701

Joseph Lee, in his foreword to this posthumous volume, calls it Dr Gulick’s legacy to his fellow citizens. In making the study of play his life work the author has come to the conclusion that it affords the best and most profitable way of studying humankind itself; that the individual reveals himself more completely in play than in any other way; that play has a greater shaping power over the character and nature of man than any other activity; and that a people also most truly reveals itself in the character of its pleasures. Contents: The extent of the play interest: Separation vs. concentration; Hunting and fighting plays; Playing house; Fire play; Toys—construction and ownership; Masculine and feminine differences; The play of animals; The play of adults; The play of subnormal children; Play progression; Play and physical growth; Play and education; Play and moral growth; Instinct and tradition in play; Play and our changing civilization; Play and the modern city; Direction and control in play—playgrounds; Play and democracy; Play, the pursuit of the ideal; Index.

“Dr Gulick’s last book is suggestive especially to parents.”

“He has built up an attractive guide to the understanding of children’s ways. There is not a hint of superficiality in his treatment.”

“With this book Dr Gulick has made a real contribution which will enrich all who read it. It should be in the hands not only of all who are interested in recreational activities, but of fathers, mothers and educators as well.” S. L. Jean

GULL, CYRIL ARTHUR EDWARD RANGER (GUY THORNE, pseud.).Air pirate. *$1.75 (3c) Harcourt

20–26883

The time setting of this story is about ten years in the future, when travel and commerce by air have become thoroughly established, and cross-Atlantic air trips are an everyday occurrence. The story is told by Sir John Custance, young and popular commissioner of air police for the British government. On one of its regular trips, one of the aerial liners is held up by a pirate airship, and even while this affair is being investigated, a second holdup is made. And it so happens that on this ship, Connie Shepherd, Sir John’s fiancée, is a passenger, and is captured and carried away by the pirates. His motive is therefore doubly strong for discovering the criminals. He has the help of Mr Danjuro, a unique Japanese personality with apparently infinite resources and capabilities. Altho they are in the end successful in capturing the whole pirate band and releasing Connie, it is by no means an easy task, and Sir John finds himself in close proximity to death more than once.

“By all the rules of the game, ‘The air pirate’ should be a badly written attempt at a thriller, and its jacket goes far to confirm that suspicion. But with the jacket the resemblance to a dime novel abruptly ceases. Mr Gull has a facility for turning melodrama into plausibility.”

GUNION, PHILIP CYRUS (GEORGE CONOVER PEARSON, pseud.).Selling your services. $2 (1½c) Jordan-Goodwin corporation, Jefferson bank bldg., N.Y. 658

20–6660

Getting a job, says the author, is a problem in salesmanship. A man’s services are a product that can be sold and how to go about to sell it has been so successfully and methodically worked out by John Caldwell, that he was asked to teach a class in re-employment for the graduates of the Metropolitan university. His lectures as given to the class are here edited and collected into book form by the author. John Caldwell’s method is to apply modern salesmanship, marketing methods and advertising to the selling of a man’s individual product, his services. Among the contents are: Make a job of getting a job; Know your product—yourself; Determine your appeal; Make good use of your experience; Develop a group of prospects; Situation wanted advertisements; The circular letter; The personal call; The employment agency; The interview; The eternal question—the salary; Keep your case alive; Index.

GUTTERSEN, GRANVILLE.Granville. *$1.25 Abingdon press 940.44

“The experience of a young chap in the army air service—a fellow who embodied all that was fine and noble in young manhood, who suffered continual disappointment in not being able to get his overseas orders and in being held on this side as an instructor in bombing, and who yet retained his humor and philosophy of life—are pictured in ‘Granville,’ the subtitle of which is ‘Tales and tail spins from a flyer’s diary.’ The book, which is published anonymously in deference to the wishes of the author’s family, contains a series of letters from ‘Granny’ to his folks at home. These tell of his hopes and desires, his setbacks, his friends in the service and the girls he met, and the experiences that he went through from the time he entered ground school until he received his last orders.”—Springf’d Republican

“The writer is so frank and outspoken in what he says and thinks and does that anyone reading the book cannot help feeling unbounded admiration for him. From cover to cover the book is filled with a buoyancy and a joy of living that leave one refreshed with even a few short pages.”

GWYNN, STEPHEN LUCIUS.Irish books and Irish people. *$1.75 Stokes 891.6

A20–768

“These essays are for the most part revived from the years 1897–1907, representing the views, during the changing moods of the decade, of this capable and cultured Irish essayist, who, it will be remembered, severed his connexion with the Gaelic league when it decided to make the learning of Irish compulsory and who believes that, as Yeats and Synge have shown, it is possible to be completely Irish while using the English language. His subjects are Nineteenth century novels of Irish life; A century of Irish humour (written 1901); Literature among the illiterates, from a volume called ‘To-day and to-morrow in Ireland’ (1902), now out of print (in two parts, The Shanachy, and The life of a song, a traditional song which Mr Gwynn took down from the lips of an Irish peasant); Irish education and Irish character. There are two later essays on Irish gentry (1913), and Yesterday in Ireland (1918).”—The Times [London] Lit Sup

GWYNN, STEPHEN LUCIUS.John Redmond’s last years. *$5 (*16s) Longmans

20–5238

“A personal and political study of very great interest, written by one who was a friend of Mr Redmond and had access to his papers for the period beginning with the war. Mr Gwynn makes no attempt to represent Mr Redmond as a hero, but lays emphasis upon the patriotism, modesty, and nobility of purpose of the Irish leader, who died heartbroken because he had not ‘won through.’ ‘His action upon the war was his life’s supreme action; he felt this, and knew that it had failed to achieve its end.’ But, says the author, ‘tangled as are the threads of all this policy, he leaves the task far nearer to accomplishment than he found it; and if in the end freedom and prosperity come to a united Ireland, they will be found to proceed ... from the action which John Redmond took in August, 1914, and upon which his brother ... set the seal of his blood.’”—Ath

“Mr Gwynn displays some of the qualities which a biographer ought to possess. He knew Redmond intimately and admired him greatly, yet he makes no attempts to represent him as unerring in judgment and supreme in every quality of leadership. Yet his book has serious defects from the point of view of both the serious student of Irish affairs and the general reader.”

“Written with a sympathy and ease that will make interesting reading for those informed on Irish politics.”

“Mr Gwynn’s book has not a little of the somber splendor of a Greek tragedy. Certainly a reading of it is indispensable to an understanding of Irish history in the last ten years. The record is set down with a fairness which even Redmond’s most bitter opponents can hardly fail to praise.” H. J. Laski

“Mr Gwynn has given far the clearest account of the procession of events, and especially a fascinating narrative of the labors and personalities of the convention. His book is almost indispensable to anyone who would wish to understand the relation of opinion to the controversy which is about to open concerning the new Home rule bill.”

“Amid the abundant and increasing literature on Irish affairs it is seldom indeed that there comes into a reviewer’s hand a literary treasure such as this. Mr Gwynn writes as one having knowledge and authority. Perhaps what strikes one first in the book is the judicial balance by which it is everywhere marked.” H. L. Stewart

“Captain Gwynn’s memoir of his late leader, though in no sense a dispassionate or unbiassed narrative of events, displays a breadth of view that is wholly lacking in most modern Irish books, and puts the nationalist case with courtesy and discretion. We cannot agree either with his estimate of Mr Redmond or with his presentation of certain notorious episodes in recent Irish controversy. Nevertheless we feel that he is an honourable political opponent.”

“Mr Gwynn writes in a sanely liberal vein and can take a detached view of all sides of the struggle of Ireland for home rule.... Nevertheless, the summing-up is an indictment of a government that had an excellent chance to show, by firmness and justice, that it was determined to give Ireland the promised measure of home rule.”

“Nowhere throughout a book which vividly illumines the recent history of Irish politics, is Captain Gwynn more intimately informed or more profoundly interesting than in the story of the Irish convention. His work is one which every student of modern politics should read and read at once. There has been no more important publication on the Irish question during recent years.”

HAGEDORN, HERMANN.That human being, Leonard Wood. *$1 (7c) Harcourt, Brace & Howe

20–8515

A eulogistic sketch of General Wood by one who regards him as the legitimate successor of the late Colonel Roosevelt. It is also an arraignment of the Wilson administration and a campaign document. “Gradually, as month has succeeded month and the presidential election has drawn near, Wood has become the focus of the hopes of an increasing number of men and women scattered over the country who have found in him a symbol of that blunt belief in facts, that respect for training and experience, that love of open dealing, which the administration has offended.... It is not strange that countless Americans, angered at the lack of these qualities in the administration, should seek to make the man who most patently possesses them, the instrument of their indignation.”

“The little book will have no political influence at this time, but it should have a personal influence to inspire better citizenship and continual preparedness.” J. S. B.

“The briefest and most readable of the various current biographies of General Wood.”

HAGGARD, SIR HENRY RIDER.Ancient Allan. *$1.75 Longmans

20–5230

“‘The ancient Allan’, by Sir H. Rider Haggard, reintroduces some of the characters of ‘The ivory child.’ Lady Ragnall, Allan Quartermain, and his faithful Hottentot Hans, are shown us in a previous incarnation by means of the mysterious Taduki, as ancient Egyptians, warring for the independence of their country against the Lords of the East.” (Sat R) “The new chronicle is chockful of excitement. There are fights with lions and a crocodile, duels to the death, the clash of mighty hosts in battle. There is a signet ring whose bearer commands unquestioning obedience from those who behold it, an attribute which the Allan of bygone centuries finds most useful when his faithful dwarf purloins it from its possessor, the villainous king of kings. There is a white-bearded soothsayer, who keeps dropping in and making solemn prophecies of a brilliant future for the great Captain Shabaka. There are hunters and soldiers, cringing courtiers and solemn priests, warriors and slaves, and the waters of the ancient Nile murmuring through the breathless narrative.” (N Y Times)

“The tale is told swiftly and simply, as all good Rider Haggard tales are told. It moves so naturally that one overlooks the unreality. ‘The ancient Allan’ is by no means to be named in the same breath with ‘King Solomon’s mines’ and other earlier creations of its indefatigable author. But it will not disappoint the reader who wants thrills without analyzing too closely the methods employed to provide them for him.”

“It is a very good example of the author at his second best—we can never hope to recover the first thrill of ‘She.’”

“The story is told in Sir Rider’s customary colorful style and with his gift for creating illusion. Ancient Egypt becomes a vivid reality.”

HAIG, DOUGLAS HAIG, 1st earl.Sir Douglas Haig’s despatches. il *$15 Dutton 940.342

20–762

“From the time Field Marshal (now Earl) Haig assumed the chief command of the British armies in France on December 19, 1915, until the close of fighting at the end of 1918, he forwarded to the war office at London in May and December of each year a summary of the operations for the six months preceding. These were intended frankly for the information of the people at home and were quite apart from the detailed, confidential information sent daily from great headquarters in France to the general staff at home. These statements have been collected and edited by Lieut.-Col. J. H. Boraston, private secretary to Earl Haig and published under the title ‘Sir Douglas Haig’s despatches.’ The despatches, which number eight and fill 357 pages of the heavy volume, are preceded by an introduction written by Marshal Foch, and a preface by the field marshal himself. The volume is accompanied by a number of carefully prepared, highly detailed maps in large scale.”—Springf’d Republican

“For those desirous of studying the war as a military event, these despatches furnish information of remarkable clearness and precision. The splendid series of very large and detailed maps which accompanies the volume, not only enables one to follow each detail of every struggle, but appeals to the imagination.”

“Altogether the volume is an invaluable aid to the student of the campaigns that it describes.”

“The civilian and the soldier alike may profit by reading and re-reading the masterly despatches of Lord Haig.”

HALDANE, RICHARD BURDON HALDANE, 1st viscount of Cloan.Before the war. il *$2.50 (5½c) Funk 327.42

20–3879

The attitude of the author throughout is that of an impartial investigator rather than an accuser. “Few wars are really inevitable,” he says. “If we knew better how we should be careful to comport ourselves it may be that none are so.... How some of those who were deeply responsible for the conduct of affairs tried to think in the anxious years before the war, and how they endeavored to apply their conclusions, is what I have endeavored to state in the course of what follows.” (Introd.) The book is based on personal, official experience and contains several interviews of the author with the kaiser. In the epilog, deprecating the harshness of the treaty, he says: “It is at all events possible that the wider view of a generation later than this may be one in which Germany will be judged more gently than the Allies can judge her today. We do not now look on the French revolution as our forefathers looked on it.... And here some enlargement of the spirit seems to be desirable in our own interest.” Contents: Introduction: Diplomacy before the war; The German attitude before the war; The military preparations; Epilog; Index.

“As a defence of those in power it is sincere and in the blame for the war attributed to Germany, temperate and generously sympathetic. The style is admirable. Interesting for general readers and as a first hand account.”

Reviewed by Sganarelle

“It goes without saying that Viscount Haldane makes out a good case for Great Britain: but he does so in anything but a blindly chauvinistic temper. Without anger or irritation, imputing sinister motives to none, he deals honestly with the facts as he sees them and presents his case with a patient and persuasive reasonableness that lends an air of finality to his conclusions. Nevertheless, what strikes one on reflection is that the discussion never goes below the surface of things.” Carl Becker

“Great injustice has been done by the press and the public to Mr Haldane’s work before the war as secretary of state.... The war being over, Lord Haldane publishes his defence, which we hope everybody will read, and having read, will admit to be a refutation of charges hatched in the fever of fear.”

“Lord Haldane’s defence of the policy adopted by the liberal government towards Germany between 1906 and 1914 deserves attentive reading. His little volume, mainly composed from the articles which he has published recently in various periodicals, has been hastily put together and contains a certain amount of repetition, but it is an obviously sincere attempt to explain and justify a policy that has brought much unmerited odium on the author.”

HALE, FREDERICK.From Persian uplands. *$5 Dutton 915.5

(Eng ed 20–11662)

“Mr Hale was stationed from 1913 to 1917 at Birjand, in eastern Persia, and from 1917 onwards at Kermanshah, near the western frontier. This book contains his letters to a friend at home, describing the ordinary course of life in sleepy Persia, and touching lightly on the German and Turkish intrigues and the measures taken to counteract them. Mr Hale declares that the Persians are far more intelligent than their neighbors, and that they only need good schools and a tolerable administration. Mr Hale was engaged at Kermanshah in the preparations for General Dunsterville’s romantic little expedition to Baku.”—Spec

“Here is a vivid picture of Persia during the war made by one who can describe his own times in delicate phrasing and neat speech.” R. C. T.

“His comment on current topics ... is extremely diverting, always in good taste, and enlivened with a dash of humor reminiscent of Howells. It is the charming style and manner which make the book worth while.”

“Mr Hale is a charming writer, and he evidently knows and likes the Persian people. Thus his unpretentious book gives perhaps a truer picture of modern Persia than some more ambitious works.”

HALE, LOUISE (CLOSSER) (MRS WALTER HALE).American’s London. il *$2 (1½c) Harper 914.21

20–26752

An American actress goes to London for a season and talks wittily and ramblingly about her experiences on and off the stage. She gives many a glimpse of the aftermath of the war in London streets, in London houses, and in London heads in the form of opinions and judgments. The book is illustrated.

“Pleasing, spontaneously humorous, keen often, and clever, though the author’s self-consciousness will seem to some to be intrusive.”

“From her first page to her last, Mrs Hale is distinctly entertaining. Her philosophy of life is a genial one and her style of presenting it agreeably light and pleasantly tinged with humor.” F. A. G.

“Mrs Hale has a very pleasant style, a nice discrimination in the incidents she relates, and a gently humorous way of recording her experiences that makes her book delightful reading.”

“‘An American’s London’ is no solemn study of social economics, but it is fully as illuminating as a dozen scholarly tomes and far more likely to make an impression on the lay reader’s memory. Its pages are lightened by a sprightly sense of humor, and the enjoyment of reading is further heightened by the author’s generous sharing of her most intimate confidences.”

“The book is more Hale than London, but under the circumstances who would have it otherwise?”

HALE, WILLIAM BAYARD.Story of a style. *$2 Huebsch

An analysis of President Wilson’s literary style by the author of “Woodrow Wilson; the story of his life.” “Mr Woodrow Wilson,” says the author, “is a man of words.... What he has accomplished—and his has been a wonderful record of accomplishment—has been accomplished through statement, argument, appeal. His scepter is his—pen; his sword is his—tongue; his realm is that of—words. Therefore it ought to be, it infallibly will be, in his language that Mr Wilson’s real self will be revealed.” Beginning with the essay on “Cabinet government in the United States,” written at the age of twenty-two, Mr Hale examines Mr Wilson’s writings and speeches, pointing out his excessive use of adjectives, his habits of repetition and interrogation, etc., and drawing his inferences therefrom. The book was written before the President fell sick, and was completed on Sept. 26, 1919. Contents: Prophetic symptoms; Aristocratic affectations; Learned addictions; Symbolism; Phonetic phenomena; Doubt and the flight from the fact; A typical manuscript; Concerning popular repute; The story of the League of nations speeches.

HALL, AMANDA BENJAMIN.[2]Blind wisdom. *$1.90 (1½c) Jacobs

20–17531

Joan Wister was and remained a character of incorruptible sincerity and spontaneity. Because she was clear as crystal and trusted her own impulses she was a puzzle. Expelled from boarding school on account of her inconvenient questionings of the things that were taught her, she found a friend in Jerry Callendar, her brother-in-law’s law partner. For years he was her friend, adviser and father confessor and when one day Joan found herself precipitantly in love with Bret Ballou and her course beset with obstacles and temptations more than she could bear, she fled to Jerry for protection and demanded that he should marry her, the better to secure this end. Although Jerry truly loved her he took upon himself the rôle of protector only and for a year even gave her every chance to try out her infatuation for Bret. Before the end of the year the make believe marriage had gone through various stages, finally arriving at the real thing.

“The entire book has many delightful descriptions, and some bits of whimsy humor. The ending of the story with its subduing veil of pathos, is a flash of pure inspiration, worthy of the poet as well as the novelist.” W. T. R.

“In Joan Miss Hall shows to great advantage not only as a teller of tales but as an acute and dramatic delineator of character.”

“The author has aimed ‘to present in simple form an accurate but brief account of the origin and development of the doctrine and some of its relations to the present problems of peace.’ He concludes that the League of nations is the logical method of extending the principles of the Monroe doctrine to the larger diplomatic problems of the present.”—Booklist

“The narrative is generally clear and in most respects quite conventional.” J. S. R.

“A convenient summary.”

“Professor Hall furnishes us with a compendious account of the Monroe doctrine, which not only skillfully skims the cream from more extensive compilations, but churns it, salts it, and serves it up ready for the table. When, however, it comes to making bread and butter of the doctrine and the covenant, Mr Hall’s success is not conspicuous.” E. S. Corwin

HALL, GRACE.Stories of the saints. *$1.50 (2c) Doubleday 922

“For children, young and old” these stories of the saints are retold in the form of legends. The contents fall into two parts. Some of the saints whose story is told in part 1 are St Thomas, in The palace of Gondoforus; St Patrick; St Bridgit of Kildare; St Ursula and the eleven thousand virgins; St Edward’s smile, and the seven sleepers; St Louis of France; St Margaret of Scotland; St Anthony of Padua; St Elizabeth of Hungary. Part 2 under the caption “The saints and their humble friends” contains in part: St Francis, the birds and the beasts; St Roch and his dog; St Deicolus and the wild boar; St Felix and the spider. The chronological order of the saints gives a list of the saints according to their century and one according to their days.

HALL, GRANVILLE STANLEY.Morale, the supreme standard of life and conduct. *$3 Appleton 170

20–13129

The background of this book, as the war-term “morale” suggests, is the war. The author holds that the war itself revealed the bankruptcy of the old criteria and that our human standards and values must now be subjected to a redefinition. This the book sets out to do, using morale with a psychophysic connotation in its individual, industrial and social applications. “It implies the maximum of vitality, life abounding, getting and keeping in the very center of the current of creative evolution; and minimizing, destroying, or avoiding all checks, arrests, and inhibitions to it.” (Chapter I) The long list of contents is in part: Morale as a supreme standard; Morale, patriotism and health; The morale of placards, slogans, decorations, and war museums; Conscientious objectors and diversities of patriotic ideals; The soldier ideal and its conservation in peace; The labor problem; Morale and feminism; Morale and education; Morale and “The Reds”; Morale and religion; Bibliography.

“Of course, Dr Hall has many valuable things to say in his book. He colors up his quasi-physical norm of morality with a good dash now and again of Christian sentiment. Still it is a pity that he, like so many of our ‘advanced’ collegiate thinkers, can find so little room for Christ.”

“The book is keenly analytic, a little coloured by the Freudian trend of what philosophy people will read nowadays, but helpful in its breadth and application, to any one concerned with studying or directing the rest of the race.” E. P.

“The style of the book under review is symbolic of its weakness. It appears to be the product of what he calls ‘exuberant, euphorious, and eureka moments.’” Preserved Smith

“Some of the psychologic explanations in this volume are undoubtedly ingenious. But as to the reality of the facts which he explains it is not so easy to be certain. But considerations of fact are, after all, not primary in the author’s regard. He believes that facts ‘cannot and must not’ change certain treasured beliefs.”

“No writer of modern times has so completely freed himself from every vestige of scholastic methods, nor dared so freely to apply to religion, ethics, education and social reconstruction, every last and newest product of psychogenetic, psychoanalytic, experimental and differential psychology. The result is that Dr Hall’s style is peculiarly stimulating, refreshing and invigorating.” G. T. W. Patrick

“To speak seriously, these vivacious lectures are the readable improvisations of a clever ready writer who possesses a facility of association that Emerson would have envied, but who persistently overworks and overloads his faculty or facility with undigested reminiscences of his German studies and his subsequent dabblings in all the sciences and all the philosophies.” Paul Shorey

“Dr Hall’s views will often be found ‘stimulating’ for their independence, whether one agrees with them or not. But there is no groundwork of a new ethics or new sociology here. As with some other books of Dr Hall’s, better organization of the material and more careful writing would improve this one.”

“On the whole the work will hardly enhance the reputation of the author of ‘Adolescence.’ First presented as a series of lectures during the war, it reveals in many places the highly colored effects induced by war-time emotions. Besides it views the psychologic features in life out of all due proportion.” H: Neumann

HALL, GRANVILLE STANLEY.Recreations of a psychologist. *$2.50 Appleton

20–20441

“Vacation skits” the author calls this collection of short stories, whose merit he claims to be their illustration of psychological principles. The first of these stories, “The fall of Atlantis,” is a new version of the Platonic myth, and records what happened to the world after the year 2000—the record purporting to have been made by the writer’s subliminal self while his conscious mind was in a state of amnesia. The other stories are: How Johnnie’s vision came true; A conversion; Preëstablished harmony—a midsummer revery of a psychologist; Getting married in Germany; A man’s adventure in domestic industries; A leap year romance; Note on early memories.

“Dr Hall is in error when he styles his work in these fields ‘crude and amateurish if judged from the standpoint of literature’; he is right when he claims a distinct merit for it as a means to the enunciation of scientific principles. The literary touch and the psychological implication characterize the book throughout.” E. N.
