This article discusses several books related to sociology. The book "Intelligent Parenthood: Proceedings of the Mid-West Conference on Child Study and Parent Education, March 4, 5, & 6, 1926," contains the addresses and round table discussions ot the Mid-West Conference on Parent-Education held in Chicago, Illinois last March. Another book "Concerning Evolution," by J. Arthur Thompson contains the first series of lectures delivered at Yale University in the Dwight Harrington Terry Foundation series. It is the contention of Thomson that the evolutionist view of Nature and Man is not inconsistent with the religious interpretation, and that the evolutionist view enriches and enlarges the religious outlook. The lectures are delightfully written, and presented with a fine degree of clarity. There is little in them that oqght to offend the intelligent religious mind. A yet another book "The Government and Labor," by A.R. Ellingwood and Witney Coombs presents a well selected group of seventy-one case materials for the study of "the major problems which have grown out of the relations between the government and labor in the United States." |
