some RECONSTRUCTION PROBLEMS IN THE NEW BOOKS
AT A DIPLOMATIC
LISTENING POST
Maurice Francis Egan Tells OF
a Decade Near the Ger
man Frontier

Maurice Francis Egan. for virtually
three administrations the American
minister at the court of Denmark, has
written his diplomatic memoirs under
the title ''Ten Years Near the German
Frontier Doctor Egan brings the
varied powers and experiences of poet.
a litterateur, scholar. teacher and
n publicist to his task.
Copenhagen has often been called the
listening gallery of Europe on account
of its geographical location, and on
account of the royal relationships of its
dynasty with most of the courts of
Europe. Doctor Egan's hearing was
evidently very good, and what is proper
and permissible for him to reveal he has
set forth entertainingly in this book.
Very often it is witty and it is gay,
but it has other purposes than merely to
amuse. There are many acute analyses
of personalities and many profound in
terpretations and explanations of for
eign policies affecting the United States.
Doctor Egan's chief program during
his decade of service was to acquire
the Danish West Indies for the United
States for good and sufficient reasons.
which were eventually recognized in the
recent acquisition of this territory.
when the crimson Danneborg yielded
place to the red, white and blue of Old
Glory. Germany's opposition to his
program is interesting reading, but not
surprising. now that we know so much
about her subtle propaganda
Fine urbanity of manner. distinc
tion and charm of style and cosmo-
politanism of attitude, though never
at the expense of genuine Americanism,
mark this highly interesting and very
important book.

FLETA CAMPBELL SPRINGER
Author OF Gregg"
Not Understood

Gregg. the hero of the novel of the
same name by Fleta Campbell Springer,
belonged to breed of men among even
whom he was exceptional, the men who
are not really understood by their fell
lows. Allen was curiously and artis
tically tempermental and his essential
inwardness of character was not
fathomed even by those best capable
of insight, the other curious tempera-
ments of his Paris days.
Womens intuitions were not probing
enough to get to the bottom of him and
the story is in some measure an analy-
tic account of the failure Of several of
the women who came into contact with
his life to understand him and of the
one who nearest plucked out the heart
of the mystery. Art and the war form

ACADEMIC REACTION
TO "BIG BUSINESS"
"The Higher Learning in
america" Discusses Educa-
tiOnuL Freedom

In 'The Higher Learning in
America" Thorstein veblen, who for
the past twenty years had been known
as writer on political and social sub :
jects and as publicist Of protest, has
published a memorandum on the con-
duct Of universities and colleges by busi
ness men.
This book, virtually in its present
form, was prepared some years ago,
hence has no immediate incitement in
recent discussions as to academic free
dom of speech and right of opinion
brought about in several universities,
both state controlled and privately en-
dowed. Mr.. Veblen considers the vari-
Gus forms of governing bodies of the
higher institutions Of learning, and con
trasts the academic administration with
them. He points out the relations Of
academic prestige to the material equip
ment aud analyses the faculty personnel
From his volume one gains the idea
that the captains of erudition have
yielded place in the academic world to
the overlordship of the captains of in
dustry.
The subject discussed by Mr.. Web
len is large and moot one, and he
argues with vigor and with irony for
restoration of the old humanistc ideals
and the genuine university program as
against commercialized control of the
higher education, either by foundation
of new institutions, croesean endow-
ments of existing ones, gifts of build
ings and laboratories, all old method of
gaining dominance, in colleges or else
where, and the newer subtler method of
control by infiltration of magnates of
trade, manufacture and finance into the
boards of trustees, overseers or what
ever the governing body may be desig-
mated,

Expert of Federal Vocational

Charles II. Allen is now one Of the

board of vocational education. This

operative work by and with the states
IN that newest of the worlds educa :
tonal programs--the fitting Of person :
mel to industry, to define briefly, though
bit vaguely.
Mr.. Allen was happy choice as the
author qualified to write 1.-The Instruc-
tor the Man and the job" He gained
invaluable experience as assistant su-
perintendent of training for the United
States shipping board and the Emer-
gency Fleet Corporation. and the profits
and gains of this actual engagement
with the problems of training men to
train others are the assets of this con
structive and suggestive manual.
Such subjects as efficient handling of
new workmen, reduction of labor turn
over, lessening of overhead expenses,
elimination of waste motions are part
of the substance, but, of course, the
major consideration is that of training
and developing unskilled or unaccus
toned labor to new tasks and new proc
esses. The necessity of some such
systematic training is becoming more
and more recognized as advantageous
over the haphazard ways of the
past. Even in the light of this growing
recognition much of what Mr.. Allen
writes will surprise executives by its
availability and practically for all sorts

are based on tested material and be-
cause his methods have been proved.
