312 PEABODY JOURNAL OF EDUCATION [March

School Building Management. By CHARLES EVERAND REEYE and HARRYSTAN-

LEYGANDER. Bureau of Publications, Teachers College, Columbia University,
1928. Pp. xvi + 395.
If we were to write a title to this book, we would suggest "A Guide to the
Hygienic Care of School Buildings." The contents of the volume are divided into
four parts. Part I, "Personnel and Management of School Janitorial-Engineer-
ing Service;" Part II, "Efficiency and Economy in the Cleaning of School Build-
ings;" Part III, "Efficiency and Economy in the Heating and Ventilating of
School Buildings;" Part IV, "Efficiency and Economy in the Special Work of
School Building Management." The volume is replete with practical detailed
help, and it should be accessible to the janitor of every large school building. We
would not like, however, to follow all that is said and suggested on scrubbing
hardwood floors. F. B. D.
Tuberculosis and How to Combat It. By FRANCIS M. POTTENGER, M.D. St. Louis:
C. V. Mosby Co., 1928. Pp. 275. Price, $2.
A calm, poised discussion-in the same spirit as the desired mental attitude of
the patient. It is conversational in tone. Neither to overemphasize nor underes-
timate is its intention. All school libraries should have it, for where is the com-
munity untouched by the "white plague?" H. A. W.
The Health of Youth. By FLORENCE L. MEREDITH.Philadelphia: P. Blakiston's
Son & Co., 1928. Pp. xxviii + 535.
This is a textbook of twenty-two chapters, devoted to the problems of healthful
living, and (depending upon previous preparation) is suitable for young people
from fourteen to eighteen years of age. It is well illustrated, wastes compara-
tively few words in the discussion of intricate physiological processes, and is writ-
ten in dignified language without technical difficulties. It is a book devoted almost
exclusively to personal hygiene, and only incidentally has anything to do with
community sanitation. Perhaps it is a bit too conservative in places-such, for
instance, as the chapter on "Mouth and the Teeth;" yet this restraint prevents
overstatement elsewhere. F. B. D.
The Book of Electricity. By BERTHA MORRIS PARKER.Boston: Houghton Mifflin
Co., 1928. Pp. x + 314. Price, 92 cents.
A rather bold venture-a book on electricity for sixth graders. On looking it
through, we believe the skill of the author has triumphed over technical obstacles.
No practical service of electricity is neglected. H. A. W.
Machine Work. By T. J. PALMATEER. Stanford University, Cal.: Stanford Uni-
versity Press, 1927. Pp. viii + 202. Price, $2.25.
"Machine Work" seems to be an unusual, well-illustrated textbook with a defi-
nite purpose. The shop student may use it as a text or for reference. The
teacher will find it a useful guide. L. L. G.
Astrology, Your Place in the Sun. By EVANGELINE ADAMS. New York: Dodd,
Mead & Co., 1928. Pp. xxiv + 343. Price, $3.
Astrology-the ancient science-still has its research workers. Herein are the
influences of the stars upon you-classified, analyzed, and organized. The style
of writing is dignified and fairly plain, considering the reviewer's background of
standard physical science. Although frankly skeptical, we are intrigued; al-
though unconvinced, we are interested. H. A. W.
