  regard 
  to 
  the 
  organization 
  of 
  the 
  Bureau, 
  and 
  its 
  immediate 
  needs, 
  

   in 
  order 
  that 
  the 
  work 
  should 
  go 
  on 
  efficiently, 
  are 
  discussed 
  in 
  

   Parts 
  I 
  and 
  II. 
  It 
  is 
  stated 
  that 
  important 
  changes 
  in 
  the 
  organ- 
  

   ization 
  became 
  effective 
  in 
  October, 
  1915, 
  and 
  further 
  changes 
  

   were 
  made 
  in 
  July, 
  1916 
  ; 
  gratifying 
  results 
  as 
  regards 
  output 
  

   have 
  already 
  been 
  noted. 
  The 
  needs 
  of 
  the 
  Bureau, 
  however, 
  are 
  

   many 
  and 
  important. 
  It 
  is 
  now 
  inadequately 
  housed, 
  in 
  part 
  in 
  

   a 
  building 
  erected 
  as 
  a 
  dwelling 
  (the 
  former 
  home 
  of 
  Gen. 
  Ben- 
  

   jamin 
  Butler) 
  and 
  in 
  part 
  in 
  another 
  structure 
  originally 
  built 
  for 
  

   a 
  hotel. 
  Considering 
  the 
  many 
  lines 
  of 
  work 
  carried 
  on, 
  not 
  

   only 
  administrative, 
  but 
  including 
  a 
  printing 
  plant, 
  a 
  lithographic 
  

   plant, 
  a 
  machine 
  shop, 
  etc., 
  the 
  conditions 
  for 
  effective 
  work 
  as 
  

   well 
  as 
  for 
  the 
  safety 
  of 
  important 
  documents 
  are 
  most 
  unfavor- 
  

   able. 
  The 
  situation 
  now 
  existing 
  is 
  presented 
  to 
  the 
  public 
  in 
  a 
  

   telling 
  fashion 
  by 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  photographs, 
  showing 
  how 
  inade- 
  

   quately 
  and 
  inconveniently 
  the 
  charts 
  and 
  other 
  materials 
  are 
  

   housed 
  and 
  with 
  how 
  great 
  loss 
  of 
  economy 
  the 
  work 
  must 
  go 
  

   on. 
  Hardly 
  less 
  important 
  than 
  a 
  new 
  building 
  are 
  the 
  needs 
  of 
  

   the 
  Survey 
  for 
  expanding 
  and 
  perfecting 
  its 
  hydrographic 
  and 
  

   geodetic 
  work. 
  This 
  subject 
  is 
  alluded 
  to 
  at 
  some 
  length 
  in 
  the 
  

   notice 
  of 
  February, 
  1915, 
  (see 
  pp. 
  225-227). 
  

  

  An 
  important 
  memoir 
  recently 
  issued 
  by 
  The 
  Survey 
  is 
  noticed 
  

   on 
  an 
  earlier 
  page

  — 
  This 
  is 
  a 
  text-book, 
  designed 
  for 
  relatively 
  mature 
  col- 
  

   lege 
  classes, 
  covering 
  the 
  range 
  of 
  topics 
  usually 
  deemed 
  essential 
  

   in 
  a 
  general 
  introduction 
  to 
  psychology. 
  Among 
  such 
  topics 
  

   may 
  be 
  mentioned 
  sensation, 
  perception, 
  attention, 
  memory, 
  reason, 
  

   feeling 
  and 
  emotion, 
  and 
  voluntary 
  activity. 
  While 
  not 
  pro- 
  

   found, 
  the 
  book 
  will 
  serve 
  to 
  put 
  even 
  a 
  general 
  reader 
  in 
  touch 
  

   with 
  the 
  trend 
  and 
  many 
  of 
  the 
  results 
  of 
  scientific 
  psychological 
  

   investigation.

  an 
  Introduction

   Psychoanalysis 
  ; 
  by 
  William 
  A. 
  White. 
  Pp. 
  342. 
  New 
  York, 
  

   1916 
  (The 
  Macmillan 
  Company). 
  — 
  An 
  introduction 
  to 
  what 
  is 
  

   commonly 
  termed 
  'Freudian' 
  psychology, 
  — 
  Freud, 
  the 
  Viennese 
  

   psychiatrist, 
  being 
  the 
  first 
  to 
  employ 
  its 
  unique 
  method 
  ' 
  psycho- 
  

   analysis.' 
  This 
  psychology 
  aims 
  to 
  be 
  "humanistic"; 
  avoiding 
  

   metaphysics 
  and 
  physiology 
  alike, 
  it 
  formulates 
  certain 
  broad 
  

   principles 
  underlying 
  behavior 
  necessary 
  to 
  real 
  appreciation 
  of 
  

   human 
  beings, 
  " 
  especially 
  as 
  the 
  priest 
  and 
  the 
  physician 
  knows 
  

   them." 
  Abnormal 
  mental 
  phenomena, 
  mythology, 
  dreams, 
  etc. 
  

   are 
  the 
  chief 
  sources 
  of 
  material. 
  The 
  author 
  presents 
  uncriti- 
  

   cally 
  much 
  which 
  requires 
  further 
  substantiation.
