THE DOCTOR AND HIS WORK. With a Hint of his
Destiny and Ideals. By Charles T. Whitby, M.D.
Cantab., Author of “Triumphant Vulgarity,” “Makers
of Man,” “A Study of Human Initiative,” etc. Crown
8vo, cloth. Price 3 s. 6 d. net. In this book the author
has reviewed the existing position of the doctor and
indicated the signs of a new sociological era in which he will
be called upon to accept new and important functions.
The profession has in the past consisted of a mere mob
of unorganised units; that of the future will be a
disciplined army of experts co-operating for the good of the
State. “The Doctor and His Work” may be described
as a summary of the modern medical point of view. It
appeals not less to the lay than to the professional reader.
IRISH HOME RULE. The Last Phase. By S. G. Hobson.
Crown 8vo. 3 s. 6 d. net.
NATIONAL EDUCATION. By Baron von Taube, author
of “Manual Training,” “In Defence of America,”
“Only a Dog’s Life,” etc. Crown 8vo, Cloth. 3 s. 6 d.
net. Two basic and dominating conceptions underlie
the theory of education put forward in this treatise.
The first is the necessity for a national education which
will evoke, foster, develop and not level down and
destroy all the peculiar and unique characteristics which
go to make a nation a nation, and endow it with an
individuality distinct from that of all other nations. The
second is the necessity for the encouragement of
originality and the full development of individual capacity, as
contrasted with the mass-drill measures which are all
too prevalent nowadays. The author’s theories are
based on ascertained sociological and psychological data
and on numerous practical experiments in pedagogy
which have been successfully carried out by him.
Discontent with the modern stereotyped system of cram
education is increasing daily, and this book should prove
a valuable contribution to the literature on this vitally
important subject.
