The harrenness of abstract debates and gen
eral formulas about municipal ownership is
clearly shown in the four acute essays by Major
Leonard Darwin, which were delivered last year
at Harvard University and now appear in book
form under the title Municipal Ownership
(E p Iutton & Coz. The author endeavors 10
show first of all that the vital question at issue
is not rnupicipal ownership, in the strict sense,
hut rather the direct employment of labor by
Municipalities. He then seeks TO demonstrate
that tho objections to municipal industry are
greater as a rule when the industry is operated
by the municipality than when il is leased to
private managers Each case of municipaliza-
ton must be studied on its own merits: and. in
all cases where there is free competitions. mu-
nicioal industry must be dsparaged Major
Darwin's arguments are all based upon Euro
pesn instances but the American reader may
well profit by them.
The delightful "Rollo' books Of Jacob Abbott
are to be included by Mr.. Dent in the Library
in which so many good old things have been
enshrned Those readers for whom these
stories are associated with pleasant memories
of their childhood win be glad 10 find them in
this captivating form
