Abstract
WE place these two books in juxtaposition because together they constitute a sign of the times. In certain respects they differ markedly. Dr. Olive Wheeler's treatment of her theme is emphatically scientific, whilst the Misses Kenwrick are strong in human sympathy and in practical insight. This is by no means to say, however, that Dr. Wheeler is not human, or that the Misses Kenwrick are not scientific. Each writer gives of her best, and her best is very good.
