 A morphological and biochemical study 

 of the lipoid granules in leucocytes. The 

 author concludes that white blood 

 corpuscles (neutrophile anc J eosinophile

 transition cells) contain lipoid granules as 

 normal constituents of their cytoplasm. 

 There are six colored plates. 



Bernard Bernard, D. Sc. (Phys.), M.S.P., 

 M.P.C. We can see no scientific or other 

 merit in it except as a source book for an 

 investigator of the uplift. For example: 



In human beings, life is only capable of being 

 fully expressed where the act may voluntarily be for 

 the creation of immortality, and otherwise for the 

 inspiration and uplift that it gives, (p. no). 



And from a chapter by Clara Glover, 

 L.L.A. (Hons.), A.C.P. (Hons.): 



The most unfortunate thing in this world is that 

 the average human being obtains his information as to 

 the most vital facts of life from scraps of conversation 

 of the ignorant, or else from the filthy humor of 



perverts, (p. 115) Children have very 



delicate minds, and any vulgarization of the subject 

 may influence the child throughout the whole lifetime. 



(p. 116) In years to come it is going to be 



recognized that qualifications for parenthood are not 

 merely adulthood, but that in order to raise a child 

 properly, it is necessary to have a complete under- 

 standing of psychology, biology, physiology, 

 economics and sociology, (p. 117).

A broad and objective title for what is in 

 fact a little book, limited in scope and 

 propagandist in nature. The author, 

 who is professor of mental and moral 

 philosophy in Ra jaram College, Kolhapur, 

 disarms criticism by acknowledging that 

 he cannot claim thoroughness of treat- 

 ment; he wishes only to furnish the 

 reader some material to think about. 

 The thoughts do not promise to be genial, 

 being about the dismal state of affairs in 

 India as regards births, deaths, and 

 marriages. Birth and death rates are
