SUMMARY DR. ISTVÁN FOLTINY (New York, N. Y.) reviews the: “More Important Results of the Modern Research of Hungarian Anthropology.” Based on most recent scientific publications the review contains many interesting new informations on the subject. * * * MAGDA FÓNAY (U. S. A.) questions whether the United States is approaching a “Rule by Women?” The author cites many examples of outstanding American and foreign women whose achievements seem to place their sex on equal basis with men. Although public life is still managed by men, the women’s rule in the home became a fact of life. Miss Fónay presents ample evidence to prove her point that women ought to be at least equal with men. * * * PÁL GÖNCZY (U. S. A.) is a former officer of the Hungarian army. He writes on “America and Her Army.” Mr. Gönczy points out that America regards the army only as a means of self-defense which has no aggressive designs. Comparing it to the former Hungarian army, the author states that both armies are good for their respective nations. The difference between them stems from several reasons. From the great wealth of America on one hand, and the different social orders on the other hand. Mr. Gönczy notes that while Hungarians were used to accept authority, Americans find it difficult to give up their individual liberty to obey military authority. In case of national emergency, however, the American GI also devotes his best effort to the winning of the war. * * * BÉLA GYULAY (U. S. A.) is a former army officer, boy scout leader and now an educator. His article, “Why Different? — Thoughts on the Modern School,” reports on the new method of education employed in an increasing number of American schools. His objective analysis gives credit where it is due, to the new methods or old, but at the same time does not fail to point out several faults of both systems. * * * BÁLINT MIKÓ (U. S. A.) is an outstanding Hungarian educator and a former aide to the late Prime Minister Teleki. Mr. Mikó’s article on “The New Paths of Character Education” describes the nation-wide educational experiment conducted by Dr. Ernest M. Ligon of Schenectady Union College. The experiment involves 20,000 school children, and its purpose is to try to develop a new type of mán who stands much closer to the idea of perfectness as shown by the Lord Jesus Christ. * * * KÁLMÁN RÉVÉSZ (Pittsburgh, Pa.), Executive Secretary of the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association, in his “The Example of the Verhovay” narrates the history of this largest American Hungarian organization and reports on its impending merger with the Rákóczi Fraternal Association. The Verhovay was founded in 1886 by 13 Hungarian — 339 —
