Juvenile Delinquency. "The Instability of the Family as a Cause of Child Dependence and Delinquency." By Prof. Charles A. Ellwood. Survey, v. 24, p. 886 (Sept. 24). Professor Ellwood here states the results of his investigation of the relation between child dependence and divorce or desertion. He does not claim scientific value for con clusions gleamed from not altogether satis factory data. By writing to a large number

secure statistics which support the belief that a very substantial proportion of juvenile dependence and delinquency is due to the destruction of homes by desertion or divorce. Inquiries sent out to reformatcries, 0 han ages, and similar institutions showe the proportion of children with such antecedents to be somewhere round thirty per cent of the total number, and nearly as great as that of the children from homes broken by the death of one or both parents. He therefore thinks that a scientific investigation of the problem under the aus ices of such an agency as the Russell Sage oundation would be profitable. Labor Regulation. “Compulsory Arbitra tion in New Zealand." By James E. Le Rossignol and William D. Stewart. Quarterly journal of Economics, v. 24, p. 660 (Aug). The practical workings of com ulsory arbitration in New Zealand i'urnis the subject for an extended and minute study. “It is not easy to show that compulsory arbitration has greatly benefited the workers of the Colony." The workers are not entirely satisfied with the act, and some of them complain that it is administered with par tiality toward the employer.
