Abstract

up to the present time, though he acknowledges that the population of the world has more than doubled in the last hundred years. He discusses various factors which have interfered with what Malthus predicted, pointing out the changed trend of population seen in Western European countries and America, and believes that it is due to widespread use of contraceptive measures. The book as a whole shows the distinguished author at his best. Few living men have been so closely in touch with the growth of public health, especially in England, but also in other countries, and none have used their opportunities to better advantage. Perhaps the most striking feature of the book is the high moral standards which are inculcated, on which everything else seems to depend. He believes strongly in education, holding that the best educator is the man who waits on and aids the development of the human mind, and that our "basic need is to train the behavior of the individual in the varying circumstances of life," the lack of such training being responsible for the continuance of a vast amount of preventable disease. The printing and make-up of the book are exceptionally good. The paper used is of the light weight so generally found in English books, and so often not found in those of American origin. M. P.
