Professor Simon ~ Patten of the
University of Pennsylvania publishes
through The Macmillan Company a
new volume on Heredity and Social
Progress. Professor Patterns other
books ON The Development of English
Thought and The Theory of Prosper
ity have already given him a place
among original and forceful writer's.
| In his recent book, The Theory of
| Prosperity, he endeavors to show that
prosperity depends on two factors
existing economic conditions and
heredity. Prosperity and the progress
| depending upon it seem therefore to
depend upon two groups of laws
those OF economics and those of biol
ogy. This independence of the two
parts is, however, only apparent. Eco
nomic laws reflect environing condi-
tions; biologic laws are those of the
adjusted organisms. The peculiarities
OF the adjusted organisms must match
those of the environment to which
they are adjusted. If this is true for
each law in economics there should
re parallel expression in some biol
cgic law. and biologic laws should con-
tersely have some expression in the
realm of economics. An endeavor is
made in the present book to correlate
these theories and thus to show that
the laws on which social progress de-
pends have real unity. The issues
OF the book are clearly presented in
the following questions: How is the
social surplus of an epoch trans
formed into permanent conditions and
mental traits? Does progress start
from deficit Or a surplus? Does edu-
cation improve natural or acquired
characters? Does progress come by
strengthening the strong or by helping
h weak?

A new work by Lester F. Ward is
on the press (Macmillan) for imme.
date publication. Its title is Pure
Sociology: A Treatise ON the Origin
and Spontaneous Development of So
ciety. The work displays the authors
characteristic originality and bold
ness. 1t differs from his previous
works in dealing exclusively with the
pure science. 1t is all that it's title
implies and much more, as no title
could fully express it's character and
scope. Its thesis is that "the subject
matter of sociology is human achieve
ment," and it deals with the funda-
mental conditions to and results of
human achievement.
1t is divided into three parts, the
first OF which deals with method and
taxonomy, called ''Taxis" The sec
ond deals with social Genesis" and
plunges deep into the problem of orig
ins. The third deals with the factor
of intelligence, called "Telesis," and
portrays the workings of the higher
mind. The titles of the last two
chapters, "The Conquest of Nature"
and the Specialization of Achieve
ment," express we'll the climax of the
authors thought.
