PRESS OPINIONS OF THE FIRST EDITION.
"An exceedingly original essay on individual and social
psychology."--THE NEW STATESMAN.
"It is a balanced and inspiring study of one of the prime factors of
human advance."--THE TIMES.
"The main purpose of Mr. Trotter's book, which may be commended both for
its logic and its circumspection, is to suggest that the science of
psychology is not a mass of dreary and indefinite generalities, but if
studied in relation to other branches of biology, a guide in the actual
affairs of life, enabling the human mind to foretell the course of human
action."--DAILY TELEGRAPH.
Boy-Work: Exploitation or Training? By the Rev. SPENCER J. GIBB,
Author of "The Problem of Boy-Work," etc. Large Crown 8vo, cloth.
8s. 6d. NET. Inland Postage 6d.
Mr. Spencer Gibb Is well known as a writer on the social and economic
problems which arise from the employment of boys. His new book, is a
systematic consideration of these problems, as the conclusion of the War
has left them, and of the remedies which are being proposed. It seeks to
co-ordinate these reforms so as to lead to a solution of the problem.
But the book is of wider than merely economic and industrial interest.
The problem as Mr. Gibb sees it is not only one of boy-work, but of the
_boy at work_. He therefore examines, with close analysis and
sympathetic knowledge, the psychology and physiology of the boy at the
age of entering upon work and in the succeeding years, and traces the
reaction of working conditions, not only upon his economic future, but
upon his character.
The Land and the Soldier. By FREDERICK C. HOWE, Author of "The Only
Possible Peace," etc. Demy 8vo, cloth.
8s. 6d. NET. Inland Postage 6d.
The author believes that this is the moment for extensive social and
agricultural reconstruction: the large bodies of returning soldiers on
the outlook for work gives an unparalleled opportunity for experiment
toward this; and the war experience of the Government gained in
financing and organising war industries and communities could be applied
with great advantage and effect. The plan is based on the organisation
of farm colonies somewhat after the Danish models, not on reclaimed or
distant land, but upon land never properly cultivated, often near the
large cities, and aims to connect with the communities thus formed the
social advantages of, for instance, the garden villages of England. In
fact, the author advances a broad and thoughtful programme, looking
toward an extensive agricultural and social organisation, and based upon
a long and careful study of experiments in this line in other times and
countries as well as here.
It is a book that no one concerned with reconstruction can afford to
neglect.
