...Atlantic Monthly for June Professor Francis Bowes Sayre of the Law School follows a familiar trail of thought to the conclusion that the task of judgement "is not to fit the penal treatment to an abstract crime but to a concrete criminal." In his newly published "The Delinquent Boy: A Socio-Psychological Study" Doctor John Slawson says that the first necessity of the juvenile court is "to treat the offender by the scientific investigation of the mental, environmental and physical antecedents which might have led up to the anti-social act."

...depriving where full success, measured in terms of potentiality, may be only half-success. It will be very much at the mercy of different instructors in the matters of attendance, reading, theses, and the like. In this respect it contrasts with the Reading Period, which insures a certain regular treatment of the interval by all courses that are not either elementary in nature or primarily for Freshmen.

But despite this depression, Hardy's themes and his style of treatment possess that universal quality which assures him a lasting place among the immortals...
JUST now, when the political field is crowded with entries assembling for the Presidential race, Mr. Seitz's treatment of some of the disappointed aspirants for the White House holds an unusual interest. Perhaps his pages will offer some value to the beaten--he adduces evidence to prove that the best man has not always won--but at all events they should be valuable to any reader interested in American politics...
