PERIODICAL LITERATURE.

This article presents information about several papers published in different journals related to the field of sociology. In second volume of the journal "Eugenics Review," Dr. David Star Jordan, in an article on war and manhood, discusses the biological significance of the dictum of Sophocles, war does not of choice destroy bad men, but good men ever. He quotes from the historians, notably Dr. Otto Seeck, in support of the contention that the civilization of the old world were destroyed, not by luxury or over culture, but by militarism, the reversed selection of war. The June 1910 issue of the journal "La Science Sociale" contains the text of an address delivered on May 15 last at the Ecole des Roches by M. Paul de Rousiers on the occasion of the unveiling of bust of the late Edmond Demolins. It is an interesting appreciation of Demolins' work and of the principles which he wished to embodied in the Ecole des Roches. The July issue of the same journal is devoted entirely to the Ecole des Roches. It contains a record of the school's ten years' work, reports of the speeches delivered at the unveiling of the Demolins' bust.
