The subject chosen for study this year, Immigration, covers so wide a field that it was thought best to prepare a supplemental text book from an entirely different standpoint. The author has written a “parable study” which deals more with lessons and agencies than with issues and processes.

This is one of the notable books of the year. China looms large in current political and religious interest, so that this life story of one who for nearly half a century has been closely identified with social and religious reform in that country must have a large place in current literature. The book is more than ordinarily notable also because of its profuse and beautiful illustrations.

Dr. Cochran came to a position of power in Western Persia which made his life as interesting as a romance. He was one of the central figures in the Kurdish invasion of Persia, and was the chief means of saving the city of Uramia.

A “Vade Mecum” on Immigration
The Immigrant
An Asset and a Liability
By FREDERIC J. HASKIN
Author of the “American Government”
Illustrated, 12mo., cloth, net $1.25
The wide-spread attention focused on this theme makes “THE IMMIGRANT, An Asset and a Liability” especially timely. No other book of this kind gathers into itself the consideration of so many phases of the subject and for this reason it admirably supplements the several text books on the topic. In brief, lucid replies it answers questions like these:
“Why do the immigrants come?”
“How do they come?”
“How are they treated at ports of entry?”
“What helps and what hindrances meet them?”
“Where do they go?”
“What are the relations of immigration and the white slave traffic?”
“Who is the padrone?”
“What is peonage?”
“How does the new immigrant live?”
“What of the future?”
Mr Haskin has succeeded to a remarkable degree in investing the subject of Immigration with intense interest. The story of the greatest human migration of all the ages is told in vivid, incisive and picturesque style. The three centuries of this great world movement are spread out before the reader like a panoramic parade of all nations. Accurate historical statement, philosophic presentation of the underlying principles and a judicial consideration of the ultimate influence on our country characterize this latest and in many respects most satisfactory and complete handbook.
