THE NEW BOOKS
.The Nenesis of Medfocrity.,

Ralph Adams Cram, Lit. D., LII. D.
In The Nemesis of Mediocrity," con-
tends that the world today lacks great
leaders. The men at the helm now
he says, are mere flgureheads. We
lack a Washington. q Napoleon. q
Charlemagne. The one case In ex-
ception is woodrow Wilson. who, he
admits, is great leader and may rise
to the present crisis.
True democracy means three
things: Abolition of privilege: equal
opportunity for all and utilization Of
ability" analyses Doctor Cram. but
he points out that we are far from
reaching such a state. Church. edu-
cation, eugenics and industrialism
have failed to produce it. We have
merely the method of democracy; not
the ideal.
He argues that unless we achieve
this ideal two wars must inevitably
follow the present one: the first,
war for the substitution of Just sys-
tenn Of life for the present industrial
one; the second, a war between the
present false democracy and the de-
mocracy of the ideal. The only way
these wars can be averted is by the
appearance OF great leader. or lead
ers, who will be able to merge the
three and the world will accomplish
the three-fold end in the present war.
He holds out little hope for such a
leader.
Although Doctor Grams style is
brilliant and his thought concise and
logical. he fails to tax a proper view
Of conditions as they exist His vision
is warped. His wording. too, is some
what academic and will be easily un-
derstood only by the highly educated.
In spite of his semi-false conclusion.
the book is worth reading in order to
start thought along the line of the
type Of democracy that America Is
trying to give to the world. (Marshall

"WOmen and War Work.


Those who heard Miss Helen Fras-
er talk here on Women and War
Work" will need no urging to read
her book by the same title 1t is writ
ten, just as she talks, in a clear, con-
vincing manner, very simply, the way
In which woman power is being sub
stituted for man power in England is
presented. Women's part in war
organizations. Red Cross. munitions
manufacture, War Savings and her
work with the soldiers are sincerely
and inspiringly related. Miss Fraser
is working with facts, and she never
stoops to mere sentimentalism in her
Interpretation of them. Especially
her chapters on What the War Has
Done for Women" and "Reconstruc-
ton" are sane and thoughtfully ana
lytical
Throughout the book she stresses
the need Of unity of action, and every
chapter is a splendid plea for self
sacrifice. She believes strongly in
the Importance of individuals. and her
final words are to them: Schemes in
theory may be perfect-reconstruc-
tion may be planned without a flaw
but what does that help If we as in
dividuals are blind and selfish? 1t is
in our own hearts and own minds
that the great task Of reconstruction
must be done, and the best of us
is always in unity"
