"Tools and the Man" is the title of a valuable collection of lectures, or to be exact, the substance of lectures delivered to the students of the New Haven Theological Seminary in 1887 by Rev. Washington Gladden, one of the preachers to the University. The book takes as its general theme the subject of property and industry under Christian law. It starts with a discussion of the "Christianization of Society" and then takes up the questions of property, labor, co-operation as advocated by Christianity, re-organization of industry, and concludes with a treatise on scientific and Christian socialism. It is written in a concise and logical style, and not so technical as to be uninteresting to the ordinary reader. The book may be found of particular value to students who are taking certain of the economic and ethical courses which deal with social problems.
