What shall we do with the children whose only place for        play is the street? Mr.Davis, who is director of the          Civic Service House, Boston, was for five years                Supervisor of Licensed Minors of the Boston School Board.      He has observed closely, conscientiously and                  sympathetically, and handles this vital subject from          every standpoint.  The streets and their subtle                relations to home, work and play, school and health, vice             and virtue, and many other important phases of child life in Street-Land are             dealt with carefully and concretely.

STREET-lAND is a title in the publisher's Welfare Series.  291 pages, with 15 photo plates, mostly of street children, and a  Frontispiece illustration based on one of the photos.  There are also 8 pages of publisher ads at the back.                                                                                                                                                                                                                          The book has two lightly bumped corners, two small bumps on the spine and minor edgewear.  The exterior (including the two title labels on the front and spine) is otherwise fine.  The interior shows no markings or wear, the binding is wholly secure with no hinge or gutter splits.  The pages are lightly toned.  The jacket has a few edge tears and small chipping, and there are light abrasions and staining; but it is still generally bright and solid.  This is a very scarce item in the jacket.
