The Forces of Our Own Household Household By Theodore Roosevelt
Working from within and looking outward to that broader horizon of America's place in the world development-realizing that the great brain-power and man-power of this nation must be co-ordinated and freed from every element of selfishness and insularity, Theodore Roosevelt speaks warningly and prophetically to his own people, urging that they stand four-square to the world, ready to take that great place which is theirs to be prepared to assume the personal and national obligations of greatness-to be true to all noble traditions which are the heritage of democracies-to take our place in the council of nations and to insure by the very strength of our right that men may be free. A notable book that in a very true sense is a text-book for every American who would see his country carry its message of freedom to the ends of the earth. Price, $1.50 net
Women as Munition Makers
An investigation of women at work in the munition shops of Bridgeport, Connecticut, by a careful and skilled observer, followed by a section on munition workers in England and France. The facts presented in this study are of urgent importance in the United States. An intimate review of labor conditions among women in a new work.
The author, who has other books on the war to his credit, is known as one of the literary geniuses of the British Army He writes of war not as it affects men in the mass, but as it affects the individual plucked from life smooth or rough and whirled into indescribable tests and endurances. A book of real work in the war, of absorbing and permanent interest.
Irvin Cobb speaks seriously and earnestly to Americans in this book. Himself an eye-witness of the horrors of war, he would choose war rather than that this free people be brought into the bondage of the Prussian. He exposes the mad philosophy of the German war-lord, and warns America that the present and future safety of American women and children depends upon what we do now. Price, 50 cents net George H. Doran Co.
The American Revolution in Our School Text-Books By Charles Altschul
A study of the question-Has the history of the greatest events in the life of our nation been taught in the spirit of fair and impartial inquiry for the facts of the case? An informal study to determine whether the history text books in use when the present generation went to school may not have had a definite prejudicial influence on the minds of a considerable part of our population and if so to what extent the text books now in use promise a different result.
