_Some Ethical Gains through Legislation_
By FLORENCE KELLEY, Secretary of the National Consumers' League
This interesting volume has grown out of the author's
experience in philanthropic work in Chicago and New York, and
her service for the State of Illinois and for the Federal
Government in investigating the circumstances of the poorer
classes, and conditions in various trades.
The value of the work lies in information gathered at close
range in a long association with, and effort to improve the
condition of, the very poor.

_Wage-Earning Women_
By ANNIE MARION MACLEAN, Professor of Sociology in Adelphi College
"This book needed to be written. Society has to be reminded
that the prime function of women must ever be the perpetuation
of the race. It can be so reminded only by a startling
presentation of the woman who is 'speeded up' on a machine, the
woman who breaks records in packing prunes or picking hops, the
woman who outdoes all others in vamping shoes or spooling
cotton.... The chapters give glimpses of women wage-earners as
they toil in different parts of the country. The author visited
the shoeshops, and the paper, cotton, and woollen mills of New
England, the department stores of Chicago, the garment-makers'
homes in New York, the silk mills and potteries of New Jersey,
the fruit farms of California, the coal fields of Pennsylvania,
and the hop industries of Oregon. The author calls for
legislation regardless of constitutional quibble, for a shorter
work-day, a higher wage, the establishment of residential
clubs, the closer cooeperation between existing organizations
for industrial betterment."--_Boston Advertiser_.

_Social Adjustment_
Cloth, 377 pages, $1.50 net
"It is a good book, and will help any one interested in the
study of present social problems."--_Christian Standard._
"A clear, sane gathering together of the sociological dicta of
to-day. Its range is wide--education, wages, distribution and
housing of population, conditions of women, home decadence,
tenure of working life and causes of distress, child labor,
unemployment, and remedial methods. A capital reading book for
the million, a text-book for church and school, and a companion
for the economist of the study desk." --_Book News Monthly._
_Wages in the United States_
Cloth, 12mo. Preparing
This work represents an examination of statistics offered by
various states and industries in an effort to determine the

simple statement it is a valuable contribution to the study of
one side of our social organization.

The book discusses the whole subject of prosperity of the
factors which enter into the complex economic life of the
nation. A young man who wishes to read even the daily paper
with full intelligence would find time spent in reading this
book well employed for the help which it would give him in
understanding current discussions of such topics as the
standard of living; the natural resources of the country and
their conservation; the relations of labor and immigration; of
the labor of women and children to industrial progress; of
organization in business and its tendencies; of the growth and
functions of large corporations; of public ownership; of the
various experiments which have been tried at different times,
or the programmes which social leaders are now proposing for
the remedy or the prevention of economic injustice.

_The Development of Thrift_
Cloth; 12mo, $1.00 net
"An excellent little manual, a study of various agencies, their
scope and their educating influences for thrift. It abounds in
suggestions of value."--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._
_The Principles of Relief_
Cloth, $2.00 net
"Text-books of sociology which are at once theoretical and
practical, aiding alike the citizen who seeks to fulfil
intelligently his duty toward the dependent classes and the
volunteer or professional worker in any branch of social
service, are rare enough; and Dr. Devine's book is a valuable
addition to this class of literature.... Comprehensive in
scope, and masterly in treatment, the book shows thorough
knowledge of all phases of the relief problem of to-day; and it
combines with the student's careful presentation of facts as
they are, the humanist's vision of what they yet may
be."--_Boston Transcript._
"A distinct contribution to the literature of scientific
philanthropy. It marks a step in the development of that
literature, for in it are brought to consciousness, perhaps for
the first time fully, the underlying principles on which the
charity organization society movement is based. Moreover, it
undertakes to give a comprehensive statement of the elementary
principles upon which all relief giving, whether public or
private, should rest; and it correlates these principles with
the general facts of economics and sociology in such a way as
to leave no doubt in the mind of the reader that the author has
mastered his subject. The point of view of the book is
constructive throughout, as its author evidently intends; and
it is safe to say that for many years to come it will be, both
for the practical worker and for the scientific student, the
authoritative work upon the 'Principles of Relief.'"--_Annals
of the American Academy._
