"The book is a concisely written work on micro-biology, a branch of
economic science that the public is beginning gradually to understand, has
important relationship to the total welfare and prosperity of the community.
. . . The manual can be recommended as a very good elementary bacteri-
ology. It comprises about all there is of practical domestic value."

Textiles
A Handbook for the Student and the Consumer
BY
MARY SCHENCK WOOLMAN, B.S.
President of the Women's Educational and Industrial Union, Boston, acting head
of the Department of Household Economics, Simmons College, recently
Professor of Domestic Art in Teachers College
AND

Ilhistrated, Cloth, I2mo, xi-\-42& pp.. Index, Bibliography, $2.00
This book is the result of twenty years' experience in teaching textiles to
college students. It is intended as a textbook for college classes or for study
clubs and as a guide for the housekeeper or individual consumer of textiles
and clothing, the teacher, the club woman, the saleswoman, and as an intro-
ductory survey of the subject for the student who contemplates professional
work in the textile industries.
The growing emphasis upon textile study in college departments of home
economics or household arts, and the increasing use of the textile industry as
teaching material in other departments and other grades of schools, shows a
recognition of the part that the textiles are playing in the development of
civilization and in our everyday life. Interest in the subject is still further
accentuated by the movements now on foot to regulate the social-economic
conditions in the textile and clothing industries and to secure standardization
and honest labeling of textile products, as is being done for food products by
the " pure food laws."
To meet the existing need the authors have attempted to prepare a text
suitable for use in college classes or by the public, shorter and more readable
than the technical handbooks, yet sufficiently thorough and comprehensive to
give a sound grasp of the subject as a whole with so much of the technology
as is directly helpful to the consumer and as should be included in general
courses in colleges and technical or vocational schools.
