No sane person is looking for a perfect industrialism, is watching for the day when brotherly love will be the motive of all human conduct. But it is within the bounds of sanity to work toward an increase in understanding between the human factors in industry; it is justifiable to expect improved industrial conditions, once increased understanding is brought about. Industry needs experts in scientific management, in mental hygiene, in cost accounting—in fields innumerable. But what industry needs more than anything else—more, indeed, than all the reformers—are translators—translators of human beings to one another. “Reforms” will follow of themselves. THE END _Books of Art and Artcraft_ HISTORY OF ART BY ELIE FAURE Vol. I—Ancient Art _Translated from the French by Walter Pach_ No History of Art fills the place of this one. First, it shows art to be the expression of the race, not an individual expression of the artist. Second, it reverses the usual process of art history—it tells _why_, not _how_, man constructs works of art. Nearly 200 unusual and beautiful illustrations selected by the author. THE DEVELOPMENT OF EMBROIDERY IN AMERICA BY CANDACE WHEELER A history of embroidery in America, from the quill and beadwork of the American Indians and the samplers of Colonial days, to the achievement of the present. _Thirty-two pages of illustrations_—some in full color—correlate perfectly with the text and furnish examples for the student or general reader. A book to delight the collector and to be a complete, authentic guide, historically and as to methods, for the art student, the designer, and the practical worker. HOW FRANCE BUILT HER CATHEDRALS BY ELIZABETH BOYLE O'REILLY The Boston _Herald_ writes: “It is a monumental work, of living interest alike to the erudite devotee of the arts and to the person who simply enjoys, in books or his travels, the wonderful and beautiful things that have come from the hand of man.... In a particularly happy fashion, Miss O'Reilly has told the story of the French cathedrals against a human background—of the great men and women of the time.” _With 31 illustrations in tint._ _Life Stories of Famous Americans_ MARK TWAIN: A Biography BY ALBERT BIGELOW PAINE Mr. Paine gave six years to the writing of this famous life history, traveling half way round the world to follow in the footsteps of his subject; during four years of the time he lived in daily association with Mark Twain, visited all the places and interviewed every one who could shed any light upon his subject. EDISON: HIS LIFE AND INVENTIONS BY FRANK LEWIS DYER AND THOMAS COMMERFORD MARTIN The authors are men both close to Edison. One of them is his counsel, and practically shares his daily life; the other is one of his leading electrical experts. It is the personal story of Edison and has been read and revised by Edison himself.
