The Railroad Problem

Prof. I. Leo Shnrflnan, of the Uni
vcrsity Of Michigan. has performed n
public service in writing "l'hc Amrri
can Railroad Problem" (Thc Century

forth thC essentials Of the problem in
n way that the average man can un e

partially that ore beyond criticism.
And he has examined the workings Of
the Es,h Cummins Railroad Law aud

Conflicting BLoods

There is a conflict of bloods as we'll
ns OF ideas between the two principals
OF Frances Parkinson Keyes' new
novel, 'Thc Career Of David Nob.c"

written IN quite n different strain from,

it misses in the charm of that book il
more than picks up in power and pas

In this novel she psychologists n

Where Mrs. Eddy Got IL

Those interested in the immediate
sources from Which the late Mrs Eddy
derived the substance Of her Christian
Science doctrines will find much valu-
able data IN "Thc Quimby Manu-
scripts" (Thcmas Y. Crowell Com
pnny). n volume edited by Horntio w.
Dresser, which. according TO the sub.
title. shows "the discovery Of spiritual
healing and the origin of Christian Sci.
ence." Mr.. Dresser tells the story of
the healing work of DR.. +. T.. Quimby
and how Mrs. Eddy became patient
and n disciple and used his writings
freely in her own early work. DR..
Quimby did not publish his writings
during his lifetime, and his son refused
for many years to permit the publica-
tion Of his manuscripts. Mr.. Dresser
has at last secured them and they ap-
pear in this volume. They seem to es .
tablish beyond question that much of
Mrs. Eddy's inspiration came from DIR.
Quimby. The book is n valuable con-
tribution to the history of what Is
known as spiritual healing, aside from
its relation to the Gains made by the
followers of Mrs. Eddy.

Boston Paths and PedigreeS

The pride Of genealogy, which is pop.
ularly supposed to be inherent in all
Bostoninns, surely did not miss Edwin
NJ. Bacon, whose "Rambles Around Old

just been issued.
"Thc Rambles" are more Of delving
into the complicated but nevertheless
interesting family histories connected
with the many famous landmarks OF

Two NeiD Books of Songs

The Oliver Ditson Company, of Bos-
ton, has issued Modern Russian
Songs" in two volumes, the work being
an anthology Of Russian song for the
last century. About 100 songs, repre- =
senting the work of thirty-t com :
posers, are included in the books, the
composers ranging from Glinka to
Medtner and Stravnsky.
Every phase Of Russian nationalism,
as expressed in the modern song, is
covered, as the songs are of every con .
ceivable character and the composers
are the best that Russia has produced.
1t Is n valuable contribution to the
available literature of the American
Vocalist.
