affords, the problems to which it gives rise. With the distinction between industrial and other types of efficiency the discussion enlarges to the scope of essentially human interests, in contrast with those of a class, or the demands of the mere "timeplanner." From this point on through several chapters the book might be called a treatise on applied psychology, with special reference to mental co-ordination, economy in the use of nervous force, efficiency of will, and other attainments that make for practical success. The concluding chapters are devoted to applied ethics, always with a view to individual efficiency.

The point of view does not call for the usual sharp distinctions between practical life and the sciences. Indeed, the book was written in part to pass beyond these distinctions and make clear the relationship of psychology and ethics to life. It thus takes exception to treatises which while admirable pieces of science bear no relation for the plain man to his daily interests. The writings of Professor Wm. James are deemed an exception, hence in these pages abundant use is made of the psychological teachings of our greatest author in this field.

It is plain that the movement in behalf of efficiency, now attracting widespread attention, affords points of connection between science and life not hitherto noted. For it begins in a neutral field.
