Excerpt from The International Year Book: A Compendium of the World's Progress During the Year 1901 T1111 Inmnxnoxm. Ym Boox' for 1901 is the fourth volume in the series. Its three predecessors have been received in a manner to justify the view of the editors and publishers that a work of this kind would be widely useful and favorably te garded. It was expected that it would meet with some criticism in detail and that suggestions would be made as to possible means of improvement; but in the numerous and for the most part highly commendatory press notices and reviews there has been little of such criticism or suggestion. As indicating approval, both of the plan and of its execution, this has, been most gratifying to the editors. At the same time criticism of a constructive sort would be most welcome and would undoubtedly suggest means for enhancing the usefulness of the book to its readers. The Yarn Boox for 1901, while not departing from the plan of its predecessors in essentials, has aimed at a greater degree of condensation, and to this end has altered somewhat the method of treatment in the articles on the States of the United States. Certain classes of statistical matter formerly given under the separate States have been tabulated under general heads. Thus, instead of including in every article on a State a separate paragraph on Educational Statistics, the figures are given in consolidated tables under the following heads: education IN the united Sum; Sermons; normal Scnoons; professional 5030015; and Unmsnms and colleges. This method admits of the introduction of more general discussion per taining to the subject as a whole, and offers a means of comparison. Again, the statistics of the Crops will be found in the articles on the crops themselves (harley; Coax; wheat, which sum up the yield by States so far as the figures are available. And the same rule applies to Banking Statistics, which will be found in the articles banking Sun: banks private banks national ban ks; savings banks, and trust and loan Conumzs; to railways, and to the principal minerals (coal, copper, iron, The space thus gained has made it possible to include in the articles on States an account of the progress of Industries, based on the Census Reports on Manufactures, most of which were published in 1901, and to notice the great body of State Legislation. Since most of the State legislatures meet in the odd-numbered years, the latter subject has necessarily received more extended treat ment than in 1900.
