ADJUSTING IMMIGRANT INDUS.

ADJl SI1NI M h1GTEANl INDI6-
 TRY by w. NJ. Leiserson.
 MT Leiserson thinks that the basis of the problem of how to make the melting pot melt must be sought in in- dustry, and he believes it will be found in the adjustment of the immigrant to the conditions of American econo- mic life and in the finding for the immigrant on his arrival a place in the industrial system under conditions that will automatically make him de- sirous of becoming a good American The volume is no more spinning of theories, but penetrating and fair minded study of plans already tried out and a comparison of their results with one another and with those that have already so signally failed to pro- duce much in the way of general good. The author is we'll qualified by much and varied experience for the writing of this book. for he has been for years connected with labor ad- justment boards, employment bureaus. etc. and has given exhaustive study to the problems of immigrant indus- try."-N.

 HOUSING PROGRESS IN WESTERN
 EUROPE by Edith E. Wood.
 Tn this book Dr. Wood makes the flat statement, and proves it, that housing conditions In the United States are far worse than in any coun- try of western Europe and that these countries are fare ahead of us in prac- tical plans for future amelioration, One interesting deduction from this very informing book is the home- earning spirit that animates all the for better conditions in abroad. This spirit will Dc t vital factor in changing and unilying the political and social standards Of all Europe, and will be the determin- ing medium in bringing about that na- iionai accord which must have a effect on international rela- tons. Ii is a spirit and an operation to which the United States may well give heed."-N. r. Tines Book Review. IGNATius LpIoLA by H. D. sedg.
