Denmark: A Social Laboratory
BY Peter Manniche

BY Peter Manniche
This book tells us in an informal
conversational style what the Danes
had done through cooperative soci-
cites, folk high schools and atten-
ton to general social condition to
make their people as free and in
dependent as it Is possible to be.
The success of the Scandinavian
people in working out their prob
lens both in their farm districts
and towns and cities has been so
great that their present eclipse
seems particularly tragic. There
are many informal photographs in
this book on Denmark to illustrate
what the author has to tell us and
charts to clarity some of the more
technical problems.
Modern England
G. Cicely Hamilton
England is country upon which
attention is centered at this time
and this book, written by an Eng
lish woman, gives very fair and
balanced picture of conditions in
England when she wrote the book
two years ago. AS may be seen
from the title, it deals with the
problems of modern England, in
GLIDING industries, mining, youth
movements, and labor problems. If
this presents a different England
than the one portrayed in other
books which deal with the beauty
of English lanscape and the charm
of historical associations, 1t is none
the less a true picture and one to
give us an excellent background up
on which to judge the England OF
today under the strain of war.
The Menacing Sun
BY Mona Gardner
In this book we find the story
of countries with which we are
daily becoming more familiar. 1t
deals with the lands and peoples OF
Indo-C China, Thailand (Siam), Ma
laya, Java and India. 1t is beauti-
fully illustrated and gives the read
er an intimate impression of these
far away countries and of the daily
lives Of the individuals who inhabit
them. AS the present World War
progresses these people may not
seem to US so far away as they
do now. Many international COM
plications connected with these
possessions Of European countries
and independent Thailand are fore
ing them upon our attention. 1t
is we'll, therefore, to have this book
telling of people who are basically
not unlike ourselves, although
their ways of living may be so diff
ferent from our own.

associations, welfare meetings, etc.
etc. are doing more and better work
in child guidance.
We realize, Of course, that not
all bad children are brought before
the Juvenile Court, yet If the num-
Der coming before the court Is de-
creasing, we have reason to believe
that children as a whole are better
and we should be encouraged to
continue and even improve future
efforts in preventing delinquency.
If through the efforts Of better
home and school training and bet
ter community endeavors, we can
save even more young people from
a life Of delinquency in youth and
a life Of crime as adults, we should
be spurred on to do all we can for
our children. There should be as
much satisfaction and joy over saw
ing one child from a life Of cor
ruption and crime, than over hun
bred who live in environments free
from corrupting influences.

House To Permit Vote
On Hatch Measure Soon

WASHINGTON, July s. Up =
House leaders have decided def
niely, it was reported tonight, to
permit a vote next week on the
senate-approved Hatch political
practices bill.
Informed sources said that no
tees had been mailed out to all
members informing them that de-
bate would start Tuesday. A vote
is expected Wednesday or Thurs
day.
The measure, barring political ac-
tivity by state employees paid with
federal funds, won approval Of the
house judiciary committee on May
20, after more than two months of
stormy subcommittee and commit
tee sessions. At one point, the full
committee voted IA to 10 to table"
or shelve-the bill but later re-
versed this action and gave it a
favorable report.
