BOOKS OF REFERENCE.—The Year-Book of Social Progress for 1913-14. (T.
Nelson and Sons. 2s. net.)—This year-book, now published for the second time, is intended to be a record of social progress in all parts of the United Kingdom during the past year. For this purpose the subject is divided under such headings as "Local Government," "Public Health," "Education," Sze., each of which is treated as an independent whole. So far as we can judge, the work has been executed in as satisfactory a manner as it has been planned. A general introduction to it has been written by Professor W. J. Ashley. —.A Handbook on the Conduct of Public and other Meetings. By Walter W. Mattingly. (Grant Richards. 6d. net.)—For inexperienced people who are called upon to organize a public meeting this pamphlet should be of real value. It gives a clear account of the procedure usually adopted on such occasions, besides explaining the law as to the preservation of order.—We may also refer to The South American Year Book, 1913, edited by C. S. Vesey Brown (the Louis Cassier Co. Ltd., 33 Bedford Street, Strand), and The London University Guide, 1914 (University Correspondence College).
