The Most Recent Additions to the CITIZEN'S LIBRARY 



Great Cities in America 



By DELOS F. WILCOX, Author of "The American City" 



Dr. Wilcox's forthcoming book differs from most works on this 

 subject in that it is practical and concrete, rather than critical and 

 theoretical. It embodies a careful first-hand investigation of ad- 

 ministration in a number of typical cities Washington, New York, 

 Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, and Boston. It brings to the stu- 

 dent's desk a great amount of statistical and statutory matter for 

 which otherwise he would have to make difficult search. It ex- 

 poses, in short, the actual workings of the municipal government in 

 American cities in a way that every scholar should appreciate.

Wage-Earning Women 



By ANNIE MARION MACLEAN 



Professor of Sociology in Adelphi College 



Quite recently the National Board of Young Women's Chris- 

 tian Associations of the United States conducted an investigation 

 throughout the entire country of the status of women in the most 

 important industries. Its results are incorporated in this book. 



"This book needed to be written. Society has to be reminded 

 that the prime function of women must ever be the perpetuation of 

 the race. It can be so reminded only by a startling presentation of 

 the woman who is 'speeded up' on a machine, the woman who 

 breaks records in packing prunes or picking hops, the woman who 

 outdoes all others in vamping shoes or spooling cotton. . . . The 

 chapters give glimpses of women wage-earners as they toil in dif- 

 ferent parts of the country. The author visited the shoeshops, and 

 the paper, cotton, and woolen mills of New England, the department 

 stores of Chicago, the garment-makers' homes in New York, the 

 silk mills and potteries of New Jersey, the fruit farms of California, 

 the coal fields of Pennsylvania, and the hop industries of Oregon. 

 The author calls for legislation regardless of constitutional quibble, 

 for a shorter work-day, a higher wage, the establishment of resi- 

 dential clubs, the closer cooperation between existing organizations 

 for industrial betterment." Boston Advertiser.
