A School Introduction to Business Life and Organization. By R.

E. T. Ridout. (Effingham Wilson. 3s. net.) A new and necessary school textbook on the more general problems and facts of business life and organization. The eighteen short chapters deal clearly and in a sufficiently elementary fashion with such varied aspects of the subject as : Creating trade (by advertising, &c.), companies, co- operation, social life in business, and home and foreign trade. The moral issues involved in these questions are scarcely touched upon.
