and crime than we do today.The final chapter is on The Therapeutics of Social Disease. Society begins its selfcontamination at the marriage license window. More control is here needed and physical fitness Christian Louboutin Outlet is more important than civil fitness. The author makes out a strong case for a sexualization or sterilization of many defectives and criminals. Then the conditions of the poor must be improved and juvenile courts are needed to keep boys and girls from being dealt with as criminals. The author pleads for boys' clubs etc although he is seemingly unacquainted with much of the work now being done. In conclusion a more rational treatment of the criminal is urged and the training such as is given at Elmira represents the general plan upon which crime must be combatted if the world is ever to accomplish much in the prevention and cure of the most formidable of all the diseases of society.With the general thesis of the book and a large percentage of the conclusions the reviewer is in hearty sympathy and heartily commends it to students of social problems.CAW.KEMEY.University of Pennsylvania.Rhodes James Ford. History of the United States from the Compromiseof. Vol. V . Pp. xi . PriceNew York:The Macmillan Company .This is the fifth of Mr. Rhodes' volumes on the History of the United States.Like the two preceding volumes it covers only about two years of time so that we are led to believe that if the present proportion is kept up several volumes more are still due before Mr. Rhodes completes his task. The present volume opens with Sherman in camp at Atlanta preparatory to Nike Air Max 90 beginning his march to the sea and closes with the triumph of the Republicans in the Congressional elections of . As a whole it comes Coach Outlet Store Online up fully to the high standard set in the preceding volumes. In the treatment of the controversial questions of the time Mr. Rhodes shows the same spirit of impartiality and breadth of view which has won for him the admiration of students. His conclusions are reached only after the most patient and exhaustive examination of all the available material. There is so little to criticise in the volume under review that no effort will be made here to do more than give some idea of the scope of the work and the author's estimates of men and measures.The description of the march through Georgia is prefaced by an estimate of Sherman for whose ability as Christian Louboutin Outlet a commander Mr. Rhodes Nike Air Max has unstinted praise. Nike Australia The orders Coach Outlet Store Online to forage liberally led to some lawless pillaging and unwarranted burning of buildings but he thinks Sherman was not responsible. Nevertheless he admits p.that the immorality and rapacity of the notorious Kilpatrick was winked at by Sherman on account of Nike Shoes Australia Kilpatrick's efficiency as a commander. Sherman's conduct on the march through the Carolinas Mr. Rhodes seems to think is less free from criticism. His insatiable desire to wreak vengeance upon the South Carolina aristocrats led to the issue of orders which though probably justified from the military point of view left loopholes for the mania of destruction p In the final campaigns in Virginia Mr. Rhodes thinks Grant whose shortcomings in the operations ofhe had freely critcised outgeneralled Lee but since according to Rhodes' own statement p. Grant outnumbered Lee nearly three to one the compliment is of doubtful value. His treatment of the military resources of the two belligerents and the cost of the war in men and money pp.seems to the reviewer altogether too brief. Reducing the total enlistments of both sides to a three year basis he estimates the number of men who served in the Union army at and the number in the Confederate army at making substantially a ratio of three to two which will seem to many to be an exaggeration of the Confederate strength. It is much larger than the estimates of Dodge and other competent military historians.Two excellent chapters embracing nearly onehalf the entire volume are devoted to society at the North and at the Coach Outlet Store Online South Coach Outlet Store Online
