DR. DIEZ TELLS OF
PERSIAN EXHIBIT

Sesqui Has Good Specimens
of Pottery, Carpets
and Silks.





“SELECTED BY DR. POPE



From the point of view of history of
art, the exhibition of old Persian ,art in
the Fine Art Pavilion is without any
question the most important amd most
interesting part of the Sesqui. It is, in
fact, an exhibition of only precious works
of Persian art of the Muhammedan per-
iod which were selected by good experts.
The Sesqui can be thankful to Dr. A. U.
Pope, the well-known expert for Persian
carpets, for arranging this special Per-
sian exhibition. He also arratiged a: fine
Loan exhibition of Oriental carpets last
winter in Chicago, and gave us new hints
for more correct designations of Persian
carpets. If we considef that there is no

- Indian, Chinese or Japanese art exhibi-
tion in the Sesqui worth mentioning, we
. Shall be able to appreciate more what
Mr. Pope has done.

There are two most valuable groups in
Muhammedan art: Pottery and carpets,
and the finest specimens of both were
made in Persia between the 12th and 17th
centuries. A few miles to the south of
Teheran (the modern capital of Persia),
one of the old ones, Rayy, was situated.
Rayy, the old Median Rhages, became a
gorgeous capital of a Turco-Mongolian
tribe of Central Asia, one of those ‘Turk-
ish tribes which invaded Western Asia
from the 10th to the 15th centuries. About
1230. Rayy was entirely destroyed by the
Mongols, who built up a new capital,
called Veramin, to the south of Rayy.
In the mounds of old Rayy people have
been digging for about twenty years, and
there the best and most valuable glazed
pottery of Persia is found. A quantity
of very good specimens of this glazed
Rhages pottery is to be seen in the exhi-
bition. The cups and jugs show partly
figures of Turkish horsemen and sultans
enthroned with their attendants delineated
and colored in a very skilful manner. In
spite of the prohibition to represent hu-

The work which Dr. Grenfell directs
may be divided into four classes: the
medical work, the industrial schools, the
orphanage, and the teaching.

This summer the main hospital at St.
Anthony was more than usually over-

giving treatments. Patients came from
all the country around, days and “weeks
in advance, so that an extra tent had to

them. The motto of the hospital all this
summer was “standing room only,” but
the condition will never be so bad again,
because they are building a new hospital
annex.

Besides the main hospital in St. An-
thony there are four others, and four
nursing stations, and Dr. Grenfell’s hos-
pital ship, the Strathcona. These take
care of not.only the year round inhabi-

and A. Bruere, 1928, president and vice-
president ‘of the Athletic Association.

Although we had B. M.’s which were
distributed rather automatically to any-
one showing streaks of athletic ‘ability
in any direction, and yellow ties which
the Board gave out rather autocratically
to those people whose looks they happened
to like, we still felt that there was some-
thing lacking. No recognition whatever
was shown to vast numbers of people
who were interested in athletics and who
kept working day after day without any
hope of making varsities or breaking
records.

When we stopped to think about it we
realized that it takes much more. interest
for a fourth team player to show con-
tinued enthusiasm for a game than a
pampered first steam person to evince
signs of the same zeal. Therefore, we
decided to have an award for that hard-
working. fourth, fifth, or sixth team
person, an award which should take into
consideration the interest shown and the
time given. If a person is naturally ath-
letic, she will get her blazer sooner, and
she may get a yellow one instead of a
class one; but. nevertheless the blazer
is essentially a democratic award. If, in
the course of this experiment, the cam-
pus is glorified by beautiful red, blues,
and greens, and by gorgeous class ani-
mals (even the polyp which we disguise
by calling it a medusa!) twisting them-
selves into startling insignia—why, who
can say that the experiment is not a good
one?

Several people have asked about- the
course of proceedure (besides playing on
teams) involved in winning a_ blazer
There are a couple of things to do, but
they are quite simple.

First—come to the next association
meeting (of course you will come.to all
meetings!) and get cards to fill out. On
these cards you will, at the end of each
season, put down on what teams you have
been playing, what rankings your cap-
Hains give you, and-the number of periods
of exercisé done in each sport.

plebee, by way of suggesting that the
rooters subsitute manual for oral applause
at the game last Saturday morning be-
tween Varsity and Merion Cricket Club.
No, not football, but a most adequate
substitute for’ a Saturday morning’s en-
tertainment—shown by the close score of
6-4 in favor of Varsity.

Merion Cricket Club outmeasured
both in physique and speed. Casual ob-
servors shed tears at Varsity’s probable
fate, when they watched Merion’s
left inside, Miss Townsend (who by the
way made all the four goals for her
team) eharge down the field passing the
ball to and fro with herself, to shoot
it securely inside the goal. Miss Town-
send even overpowered Varsity’s goal
keeper. Only C. Winters succeeded in
stopping her effectually and continually;
more than once the outcome of the game
was materially altered by Winter’s per-
sistent defense.

Varsity’s victory was -due to the excel-
lent defense of Winter, Walker and
Porter and to team work. Marked
progress has been made in pass work and
dodging. -As usual the efficiency of the
forward line did not equal that of the
backs. Each forward made an excellent
play at some one point in the game, but







never did these “best moments” coincide. |

This state of affairs seems to be due to

It is to the gym department and to the laziness, to loss of head, and to lack of

deficiency, we suggest blackboard demon-

centrated stick practice would go a long
way towards developing sureness and de-

also be of use.

KNEW ANATOLE FRANCE

M. Edouard Champion, leading pub-
lisher and distributor of France, will
speak next Tuesday evening, November
16, on his old friend and associate, Ana-
tole France, accompanying’ the : lecture
with lantern slides of the author’s home
in Touraine. Tuesday afternoon, M.
Champion will speak to a more limited
audience, confined to faculty and students,
on the subject of Prouste.

Now engaged on a series of visits to
the leading universities and colleges of
the country, M. Champion desires to
know personally these intellectual centers
which he has served for so long, for he
has not confined book-selling to France.
In fact he is the French dealer who sends
the most bogks abroad.

Widely Active.

He is the sole agent of the British
Museum for France, Switzerland and
Belgium. He has a similar position at
the universities of Harvard, Yale, Prince-
ton, California and Michigan for France,
and has been of signal value to other im-
portant libraries in America, including
the Library of Congress—and that of
Columbia University. He has ,further-
more organized for the United States a
gratuitous bureau of expert advice and
assistance, presided over by a_ biblio-
graphical specialist in close touch with
literary and learned circles in France
and America. It is for these. services
that he has been decorated with the
Legion of Honor.

The House of Champion was founded
about 1870 by Honore Champion, father

The wailing, of weird instruments and
the smooth utterance of strange tongues,
against’ a background-of* Oriental” rugs
and many-colored cushions brought some-
thing of the charm of foreign lands to *
Wyndham music room on Saturday eve-
ning when the foreign students of Bryn
Mawr conducted a large college audience
ona sixty-minute tour of the world. The
scenery was completed by the ‘national
costume of six different regions when the
nine foreign students, gay with peasant
apronsand. Japanese butterfly “bows
clumped in on clogs and wooden shoes.

Miss Beatrice Pitney, 27, as President
of the Christian Association, under whose
auspices the éntertainment was given,
made a short opening speech, and intro-
duced the performers: before each num-
ber.

Miss Hilda Taba, who made an effec-
tive picture with her red héadband
striped skirt and numerous beads, opened
the program with two songs of her na-
tive Esthonia songs whose gay lilting
rhythm and reiterated choruses were
peculiarly attractive. Next came a brief
talk by Miss Aubertin, of Germany, on
the German Youth movement delivered
with an earnestness and sincerity which
made all her hearers share her faith in .
these young Germans, who devote them-
selves to the attainment of perfect truth
in life, speech and human relations.

The next number carried the audience
back from the youth of today to the
ancient customs of 250 B. C. when Miss
Vaung Tsein Bang, with cherry blossoms
in her hair,.gave a representation of a
birthday party in ancient China. She,
herself took the multiple role of host
and hostess, chief guest and two servants,
from which the audience learned two
things about China: one, that the ancient
Chinese had beautiful manners, and the
other that the modern Chinese need not
come to America to learn how to giggle.
But when Miss Bang became the court
musician, and played old tunes on an
archaic stringed instrument, the audience
was translated from the realms of learn-
ing to those of feeling, and saw in

WHAT YOU THINK IS

“Some one has said what students
think today, nations will think tomor-
row.” With this statement Mr. S. Ralph
Harlow began his talk in Chapel on Sun-
cay, November 7. If this ‘be true, all
thinking along the lines of international
peace and friendship should be encour-
aged. The Student Friendship Fund is
doing a great deal of work in this field.

A British student leader has said of us
that “In America you are serious about





| trivial things, and trivial, about serious

things.” This may seem unfair, but last
Saturday nearly half a million dollars
were spent on tickets to football games.
The same students-who get wildly excited,
and highly emotional about their sports,
say, about their Christian Associations,

These discrepancies can be found also in
the very purposes for which people go to
college; the social, and atheletic reasons .

ARMISTICE DAY
“Victory! Vigtory! on withthe dance!
Back to the jungle the new beasts
prance!”

The eleventh hour of the eleventh
day of the eleventh month—eight
years ago the world cried that these
words were written on our hearts in
letters of fire—we couldn’t forget
them. They would be passed om
from generation to generation, the
symbol that was to proclaim the end
of all war, all hate, all horror.

Eight years ago—and already.
many of us have forgotten their
meaning. Eight years from now
school children will know them only
as a convenient way of remembering
the date when the World War end-



people already vaguely allude to as
(horribile dictu) “the late unpleas-
antness.” They can say that, while
in the streets of Philadelphia there
sits a man with no arms, only one
leg, and in his button hole a Legion
pin. They can say that, while hospi-
tals are filled . with living beings,
scarcely recognizable as human,
alive only to suffer the more. And
if you mention these things to them?
They shudder and in the next breath
theorize casually on the impossibility
of war ever being abolished.

It is true that in an age which
moves as swiftly as ours, there is no
time for memories, especially the un-
pleasant ones. Yet, five minutes
out of every year gp such a small
fraction of a lifetime, and this alone
would suffice. Only five minutes,
but if the world would give them
it might mean that the foolish
dreams of idealists would become
realities. Then why won’t it? Is it
because the world doesn’t care? Be-
cause it likes war? Can people still
believe that war brings out only the
best in men? It wasn’t so eight
years ago. Then the veil of beauti-
‘ful and»brave lying catchwords fab-
ricated by politicians to blind men’s
eyes had been rudely torn away, and
the world saw and vealiatd what war
meant.

Perhaps it is because youth hates
memories that hurt. It hasn't learn-
‘ed to profit by them. There is pleas-
ure in the world; forgetethe ugly,
unpleasant horrors. Forget the—
dance, dance, dance—then there
won't be any time for thoughts.

“Pish!” said a statesman standing near,

“I’m glad they can busy their thoughts
elsewhere! .

We mustn’t reproach them; they’re
young you see.’

“Ah!” said the dead men, “so were
we!”

COMPULSORY ATHLETICS

Bryn Mawr has always been
known as a college which seeks to
give its students an education which
shall mean more that rote learning,
through four years; it encourages



tude; it wishes its students to feel

ing-for_themselves; it recognizes
that a person is not educated until



“he is aware of himself as on indi-
vidual reasonably well equipped
to find his way without fe led
eh the hand. The tendency of
faculty regulations, of self-govern-
‘ment rulings, is in the direction of
ret to +he student the things
which do not affect others than her-
self, and permitting her to govern
as far as possible, according

her: own needs.

fit exercise. into a schedule 6f

work. It may take two years to
establish the habit, but certainly
what is not learned in two years will
not: be learned in four, when the
lesson is of elemental simplicity and
expounded four times a week
throughout the year.

Then, after training ‘the student
for two years,gvhy insist any furth-
er? Two years for the junior, one
-year for the senior, and then she will
be on her own, forced .to make her
own decisions. Is it right not to
give her any experience before hand
in making*decisions affecting herself
in. adaptirig- her own--habits? .. [s.-it
not bad for her morale that ‘she
should be told that the college feels
she has not learned. her lesson and
cainot trust her to take care of her-|
self if not compelled to?

' Granted that failure to exercise
‘lowers one’s health and consequently
the avérage health of the commu-
nity, what warrant is there for be-
lieving. that students would not have
the intelligence to exercise without
compulsion unless they are given
one chance? Arbitrarily to take

tion is to, sap the will and, make the
student once .more dependent on
authority for her personal con-
cerns.

‘Perhaps there could be two lists,
one of A students who would be
free to. do the éxercise they saw fit
to do ahd two, of B students, whose
health or power of will was proven
to be so feeble as to necessitate
supervision. To check up on health
medical examinations could be given
twice a semester and this process
would not involve one quarter of
the trouble and-unnecessary formali-
ties now consequent to the system
of supervision. If an A student
showed any sign of deterioration,
she could be placed in the B class,
and have her exercise supervised.

But to be subjected to the humilia-
tion of paternal supervision based
on incapacity to act as intelligent
adults without a chance to prove
ourselves—is this not pernicious?
We firmly believe that it is, and we
as firmly believe that the junior and
senior classes, at. least, if left ‘to
themselves, would have the intelli-
gence and the foresight to take the
necessary care of themselves.



EDOUARD CHAMPION

The advent of M. Edouard Cham-
pion next Tuesday, when he will
give two lectures, one in the after-
noon on Prouste, and the other in
the evening on Anatole France, of-
‘fers a. rare opportunity to all who
come and hear him.

His lectures will have a twofold
value. M. Champion will speak
from the point of view of personal
knowledge. Especially is this true
in the case of Anatole France. From
early boyhood, ‘M. Edouard Cham-
pion grew up regarding Anatole
France as a- familiar hearthside
companion, since M. Honore Cham-
pion, father of Edouard, was a life-
long friend of the great author, and
successor to the publishing business
of the author’s father. To this per-
sonal knowledge, M. Edouard:
Champion adds the invaluable qual-
ity of being an excellent literary
critic, a gift inherited from his fath-
er. M. Honore Champion was never
known to concede to popular favor.
He sought not the most profitable,
but the best book, and justly merit-
ed the title bestowed upon him by
Jacques Bainville, the historian, of
“Knight* of Imperishable Books.”

But no less rare is the opportunity
of listening to M. Champion for his
own sake. He is representative of
a group, of Frenchmen upon whom
France| ought to bank her future,
men who preserve valuable French
traditions and combine them with
modern efficient methods and whose
interests lie outside national bourd-
aries.

This fusing of new and old can
best be illustrated by The Quai Ma-
laquais Shop, headquarters of M.
Champion’s world-wide activity as

ublisher and distributor of- books.

M. Edouard Champion has. left

presides over the same glass-doored
sanctum behind the same black desk
as his father. But he has installed
an annex in the adjacent building,
equipped with the latest comforts
and conveniences for browsers. This
annex serves also as headquarters
for three groups of book fanciers,
“The Socjety of Bibliophile Physi-].
cians,” ‘““The Bibliophiles of the Pal-
ace of Justice,” and “The Authors;
Friends of Books,” of which he is
the. publisher. In his sanctum. and
old shop occurs a great deal of the
electioneering for the Academy and
the Institut de France, while in the
annex, movements of younger so-
cieties take place.



WHITHER EDUCATION

The’ McGill Daily considers the
dangers of the fact that “too many
go to college” in an editorial, and
the same week the Vassar ‘Miscel-
lany carries an article on the
recommendations of the American
Association of University Profess-
ors, for weeding out undesirable
students at the end of the Sopho-
more year.

The Daily states the conditions :
“Everywhere and anywhere colleges
are dispensing quickly and painless-
ly outlines of polite culture, stan-
dard and seasoned to suit the sac-
carose palates of the ignofant
undergraduates.”

The Miscellany finds the , pro-
fessors advocating that the Junior
Class be not less than 50 per cent.
nor more than 75 per cent. of the
entering Freshman Class. Students
who are eliminated, not because of
a large number of flunks but be-
cause of not “showing brilliance in
any one field” would receive “Hon-
orable Dismissal” certificates. This
they feel would discourage those not
markedly intellectual from planning
to take more than a two year course.

The Daily considers that: “If
education is to be saved from stan-
dardization and mediocrity the new
army of students’ must be rigidly
divided and ranked. There must al-
ways be an honor group to which
the richest minds among the faculty
can personally reach and inspire the
ablest and most eager of the stud-
ents. Merely raising the standards
for admission to heights that would
have seemed impregnable two years
ago does no good.”

Whatever conclusions may be
reached as to proper methods of
curbing this evil, there is no doubt
that wholesale education of the sort
that is being sold all over the
country, is a menace to true scholar-
liness.

That this problem is receiving
consideration from widely different
groups is evident to anyone who
reads the papers—undergraduateé or
otherwise. There are many articles
about “What is wrong with the col-
leges 2”? speeches that declare that

means.’

So much Keriesion naturally
starts us thinking. But when we
have thought and thought, we are
left with our problem: mass educa-
tion as it now exists is a prostitu-
tion of knowledge and scholarship ;
what are we going to do about it?

INSTALLMENT 2

(Synopsis of what has gone before—
In the beginning all life was under water ;
then, what with the Heidelberg and the
Piltdown submen (or were they yes-
men?) the Neanderthal Man evolved.
Close on his heels came The Palaeolithic
man, and in hot pursuit of him the Neo-
lithic. Came the dawn. Pause between
first and second act denotes passage of
time, or to the nearest exit. The Roman
Empire gose and fell, but what difference
did that make to Tiny Tim? In 1066
William—but that is an old story. Stop
me if you've heard this one before. And
that brings us down to the matter in
hand. Let us proceed.)

' “Was it,” I asked myself, aghast, “Po-
cahontas?” for the Captain John Smiths
lived not five miles away. Wild though
our corner of England was, bows and
arrows had been demode for several hun-
dred years, and so the beautiful young
wife of Captain Smith seemed the only
person who might have owned one at
this enlightened date. But I kept my
suspicions to myself, though eagerly
pressed by my “curious” friends.

“Oh, Heav’n!” I cried, “ifspire me!”
And as if in answer to my impromptu
prayer I had a “bright” idea. I would
send for the famous London detective,
Hawk-Eye Skertt, popularly known as
Hawky Skertt! Dr. Watson, in a well-
known book of detective stories, had been
modelled on Hawky Skertt, so I knew
he must be very clever. In a week or so
I got him over “long distance,” and he
promised to aid me, a poor, unprotected
girl in a lonely old Cornish castle.

As soon as he arrived (some seven
weeks later), I took him to the scene of
the crime and told him my dreadful sus-
picion. Without a word he set off
through the black woods to the commo-
dious bungalow of the John Smiths.

He returned with set face. My heart
throbbed wildly as I demanded, “Well?”

Hawky Skertt went straight to the
point.

-“As soon ,as I stepped into the hall,”
he said, “I noticed that the woodwork
was Valsparred. The furniture was fine
old- Bonwit-Teller. Every detail was sig-
nificant. I asked Mrs. Smith if she had
committed a- murder lately. She said,
‘How lately?’ I said, ‘Oh, within the
last year.’
last year.’ So that narrows the clews
down to none. It makes it much easier.”

“But, then, whom——,” I breathed. -



Has Hawky-«Skertt a clew which he
is ‘unwilling to divulge? Was Pocahontas
telling the truth or trying fo shield Cap-
tain John Smith? Don’t miss our next!

HELP MISS TSUDA’S
e SAYS B. LOINES, ’28"

No Financial Backing at Time of
Earthquake.

Barbara Loines, ’28, in Chapel Wednes-
day morning, November 3, gave a brief
resume of the history of Miss Tsuda’s | °
School; what it has been doing, and what
it hopes to do.

“In 1900, Miss Tsuda, who has just
graduated from Bryn Mawr, went back
to Japan, and started a school for teach-
ing English, near Tokio.” Beginning
with six pupils, it gradually grew, until
suddenly in 1924 “along came the earth-
quake, and the wooden buildings were
burned to the ground.” ‘This disaster
was the worse, because the school had no
: financial backing at all.

Two temporary one-story buildings
were put up, and it seems inconceivable
that they are large enough to hold—five
hundred students. But they do. Girls
come from all parts of Japan to study
English there. They are giver’ a three-
year course with one year’s preparatory
work, and when they graduate the
‘Japanese Government gives them a
Teacher’s Certificate. :

Many of the teachers at the school are
Bryn Mawr graduates, Mrs. Kennard
and Miss Hashimo are there, and now,
Taki Fugita also.

Since the school is not endowed, and
since there is such a great demand for
its work; it is considerably handicapped
by its facilities. It wants to enlarge its



scope, and become a real college now, and

for that it needs, besides the money for
running expensés, also money for build-
ings, teachers and books: It has bought
a site for its ‘new building, and needs
$600,000. The Rockefeller Foundation,
recognizing the influence and value of
the school, has. given $100,000. “I don’t
suppose that we will be able to raise the
other $500,000 before Monday, but we'll
hope for the best.”

the only. place where the people can get
anything, so old clothes which are sent
up to Dr. Grenfell are especially eagerly

Miss Doughton concluded by urging
the college. to try to send one or more
girls up there next summer, because it is
an experience that no one’will ever regret
having participated in.

B. PITNEY LAUDS VESPERS

Large Group Discusses Readings

Beatrice Pitney, ’27, led Vesper Serv-
ices in Wyndham on Sunday, November 7,
She continued reading from Stoddard-
Kennedy’s book The Word and ~*'the
Work, because everyone had enjoyed so
much her selection from it last week.

After briefly recalling. the message of
the first sermon, Miss Pitney read the
second sermon in The Word: and the
Work. At the end there was a short dis-
cussion in which some of the author’s
theories were questioned, but since the
time was short, and thé group very large,
this discussion seemed. rather futile and
inconclusive ; however, it served to clarify
some points in the text.

Next week’s Vesper Service will be led
by Barbara Loines, ’28, and will begin at
5.45, in Wyndham.

friendly feeling toward America in these

The student conference that were be-

enormously toward fostering a feeling of
friendship among the youth of nations
who had been at war. The social con-

bind these broken nations together.

Besides the work done abroad, a great

the victors, ee .
Throughout the game most of the play-
ing was in our territory. Early in the
first half, Buchanan .scored ‘two goals
for the faculty. Crenshaw and Wells

then chalked up one apiece. The second

half started more promégsmgly for the
Hash, who for a time threatened the
opponent’s ‘goal, but again Buchanan got
the ball and was down the field for ‘an-
other point. *Then Miller subbing for
Collins, made the undergraduate’s single

score. Faculty’s final two points were
due to Buchanan.

Playirig on both sides was ‘sloppy. The
huddle system prevailed. Four or five
players; often all of one team, were usually
on the ball at once. The faculty players
in following the ball continually forgot
their positions. Right wing was once
seen playing left inside, while the for-
wards and half backs were hopelessly
confused, - Buchanan starred on the for-
ward line, and Fieser’s hard hitting
gained mich ground. Lewis played a
fine defensive game.

The undergraduates made some pretty
passes but lacked thé dare-devil spirit
which brought the faculty out ahead. The
game was chiefly remarkable for the
friendly informality which reached its
height when the faculty — got
cold and changed sides.

The line-up was:

Hash—A. Saunders, ’27; K. Collins,

SENIORS DEFEAT JUNIORS, -3-0

The Seniors continued their triumphal
march towards the championship by beat-
ing the Juniors, 3-0 on Monday. It was a
scrappy, hard-fought game not too well
played by either sida but the Senior
team was decisively the best. Both sides
lacked tearn-work and hit the ball wildly
without bothering to see if there was
anyone free to take a »pass. The ball
was kept too much in the centre and the
wings didn’t get a fair chance to “do their
stuff.”

Brodie and Winchester pulled off fine
individual runs down the field, both
culminating its goals. Seeley and Walker
were as excellent as usual, Miller seemed
rather incompetent to be playing on first
team. Why don’t the first team captains
try out more second team players? They
often look just as good if not better and
would inject some fresh life into the first
teams.

’28 got awfully muddled up in itself,

Forty

“At Forty” the housewife in some sections
of Europe wears a black bonnet to signify
the end of her youth. A ‘quaint custom—you
say—but it usually. signifies a fact. Heavy
tasks, indoors and out, have made her old—
at forty.
Of all the uses of electricity in America, the
most important are those which release the

woman from physical drudgery. Electricity -

carries water, clothes, cleans carpets,
cooks the family’s food—better and quicker
than could be done by hand.

A trip to town or an hour’s rest in the after-
noon pays a woman dividends in g ood health

“at forty years.” And what is youth but that?

Men and. wes “be have the benefit
of college training and life have

. REBITS AND CREDITS, By Rugy-
“ard Kipling.

A few weeks ago the Press of two
countries became fiercely agitated over
a new book, Mr., Kipling’s latest, which
had just been published. They. didn’t
scatter their ink in praise either; quite

‘ the contrary, they leapt upon the book

ry

‘

with denunciations, sarcasms, reproofs.
And why? Because of one little poem,
tucked away near the front cover. A
very poor poem, as poetry is judged, but
containing a very much needed and very
bluntly phrased rebuke to America. There];
lay the ‘trouble. Had Mr. Kipling been
an American, it may be that the poem
would have been accepted and its senti-
ment approved, if not. t&ken to heart.
But. Mr. Kipling is not an Amefican. He
‘is only an, Englishman, a cousin, and
therefore in putting the poem in print he
placed himself in the position of the man
who, when told by: his host to “act like
one of the family,” went ahead and did
so. For although we call Englishmen
our cousins, we don’t expect them to act
as such.

&

It is doubtful whether the reviewers
ever got beyond this one: poem, because
if they had, they might have saved al’
little space wherein to praise the rest of
the book which, if not. as good as Mr.
Kipling’s best, is comparable to many
of his most popular works. It is a col-
lection of 14 stories and 18 poems, group-
ed in such a way that every story has
one or more poems associated with it.
Many of the characters are well known
to two generations of Kipling devotees.
Stalky is there with his inseparable

> “company, Beetle and McTurk—“Tirala-

loo—I. gloat, hear me!” And Tommy
Atkins, with his thousands of broth-
ers in the British army. The Tommy
of 1915, changed. by the multiple horrors
of the new order of war gods, and yet

the same as twenty years ago, loyal-

philosophical, never knowing when he is
beaten—entirely lovable. Then there .are
some new characters who are, at the same
the Gate,” St. Peter and the angel, Az-
real, struggle with a war-time rush in a
quite human and wholly delightful fash-

- jon,

The book is a triumphant answer to
the modern cry, “can any good come out
of victorianism?” It is a reassuring proof
that, despite his years, Mr. Kipling has
lost none of his ability to portray Eng-
lishmen, be they “toff” or cockney bum.
But more than all these, it marks a
change, or rather, an addition to Mr.

Kipling’s style; a vaguely defined yet| a

clearly felt element—religion, spiritualism,
whatever name you wish to give it—the
note which invariably creeps into the
writings of older men and makes them
richer, deeper, more sympathetic.

The Silver Spoon,'by John Galsworthy.
Charles Scribner and Sons.

. Even great writers, apparently, cannot
escape the failings of mankind; and Mr.
Galsworthy, in his latest book, “The
Silver Spoon,” is human enough and old
enough to sit back wearily in his arm
chair and shake his head helplessly over
the younger generation and the future of
England:

Mr. Galsworthy.has. somehow failed to
° get hold of anything significant in this
latest addition to the Saga of the For-
sytes. He has not lost his mellow sym-
pathetic touch, nor have his characters
lost their absolute naturalness ; neverthe-
less, their rather petty struggles and ani-
mosities leave us cold. Fleur Mont, the
last frail shoot from the family tree, born

)
\ with a silver spoon in her mouth, suffers

so entirely by her own fault, that we
cannot feel called upon to suffer with
her; and Soames, who from being hard
and very real in The Forsyte Saga, de-
veloped a soft heart in The White Mon-
key, is now, soft all through, and is not
nearly, alas, as real as he was. As for
Francis Wilmot from South Carolina, he
is only another reason for wishing that
English authors would leave Americans
alone. Michael Mont, with his political
theory of Foggartism, which, interesting

as it is, has so unduly large a part in a

novel, comes nearer to true importance
than the others. But with his wavering
faith and gentle skepticism, he is not a

_ powerful enough figure to make a book.

Perhaps Mr. Galsworthy, like so many
authors who have not been willing to lay
aside a popular theme, has suffered the
fate of the serial. writer, and begun to.
~ be bored by his own characters. The fact

might explain the attention he devotes to| ficed. 1

an ineffectual writer. The Silver Spoon

‘is a.good book, to «which to devote an

It Happened in Peking, by Louise Jor-
dan Miln, Frederick Stokes and Co.

In this her latest book Louise Jordan
Miln shows not’ ottly a perfect fairness
to both ‘East and West, but also a keen
insi ht into the psychology of the Chinese, *
of the ‘American, and of the English girl.
The author is blind neither to the possi-
bility of a deep sympathy between. the
Oriental and: the Western character, nor
to the ‘ultimate irreconciliability of the
two so widely diverging races. She has
therefore set herself a task that she is
admirably fitted to perform—the analysis
of prejudice—she never writes the word!
—in her characters that are of three
nations,

The Duchess of Charleny and Mrs.
Van Vleck, of “New York, have. been
drawn to Peking by the “lure of the
Fast,” full of curiosity about Chinese
ways. Elizabeth, the nieces’ of the
Duchess, and John Thorn, of Chicago,
nephew of Mrs. Van Vleck, on the con-

Tn , the end, however, the deeper-lying
prejudices’ of the aunts prove the more
obstinate, while the more pliable hostility
of the girl and boy is replaced by an
attitude of warm sympathy.

The characters are well drawn, those
of the Empress and her ministers no less
than those of the “barbarians.” Con-
sistent throughout, the qualities of each
are clearly expressed. The plot is nicely
developed, and is not without human or
international significance. Except for the
misfortune of ‘a laboured, an almost
affected style, /t Happened in Peking de-
serves high praise.

Chevrons, by Leonard Nason:
lished by Doran & Co.

Chevrons, by Leonard Nason, is one
of the books called forth by the recent
revival of interest in war stories. It is
written out of the personal experience of
the author who was a Sergeant just as
Eadie is. The title of the book is de-
rived from the fact that the Sergeant, by

which he was very proud. He found,
however, that it brought him nothing but
“lot of cheap conversation.” When he
was actually wounded he refused to con-
fess it, and told everyone that he had
had appendicitis.

‘The chapters in Chevrons are arranged
as separate adventures, incidents held to-
gether by the central figure and by a
chronological sequence. Two soldiers re-
turn to their unit from hospital. Their
scrapes are laughable, their language more

selves hurried on to the front.

described in some detail.
rest is followed by another advance.

some of the bitterness, the weary disgust
of the author.

While Chevrons does not rank with
What Price Glory or The Big Parade in
dramatic quality or in the impression of
reality conveyed, yet it is worth while
reading for the entertainment and for the
new point of view. In most books deal-
ing with the military, the Sergeant is
cursed; hete it is the .Sergeant who

sports are carried on outside the uwni-

The students, who almost all intend to
use their learning in sqme practical way
as lawyer, teacher or doctor, are very
much in earnest,
studies practically independently of the
professors. These latter have not tieces-
sarily any closer relation to the students
than that of lecturing to them; but the
best students usually seek out their pro-
fessors, and get imdividual help from
them. Thiis the teachers can devote all
their time to, the good students, and let
the poor ones take care of themselves.
