The Immigrant
An Asset and a Liability
By Frederic J. Haskin
The author 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. _Illustrated._

The New Freedom
By
WOODROW WILSON
Certain it is that the more pertinent phase: of present day conditions
have never been more simply and more luminously set forth. The large,
free lines in which the story is told, the easy style of
extemporaneous talk, the homely illustrations, remove every impediment
from the reader's mind and give to each sentence the tang of life.
Every phrase is fresh as a May morning, and every thought is quick
with life.

The illustrations have been moved so that they do not break up
paragraphs, thus the page number of the illustration might not
