The Reviews of Reviews for August.
The August number OF the Review
OF Reviews contains character
sketch OF Mr.. Grover Cleveland, writ.
ten by gentleman whose qualifica.
tions are admittedly the very best,
Mr.. George f. Parker, who has recent.
ly edited Mr.. Cleveland's speeches,
official messages and other utterance,
gives sympathetic and eulogistic, but
careful and candid, sketch of the dis.
tinguished standard. bearer OF the
Democratic party. The sketch fol-
lows the well.received article on
Pesiient Harrison, written for the
July Review of Reviews by General
Thomas }. Morgan. This August
number Of the Reviews of Reviews is
particularly interesting. One of it's
keenest articles is sharp, and very
unsparing attack upon "Cahenslyism
by prominent American Catholic
editor, who declares that within q
certain wing OF the Catholic church,
there has been. and is most un.
worthy conspiracy to prevent the
Americanization of European emil
grants to this country.
The article uyon University Educa-
ton for women, discusses eswecially
some European tendencies, and gives
interesting facts about the progress of
women in the University Of Zurich.
"How to learn language in Six
MONTHS" proved to be one of the
most popular articles IN the July Re-
view; and that topic is followed up
this month by charming little article
contributed bp the veteran Professor
Biackie, Of Edinburgh. who fully en-
dorses the doctrines set forth in
How to Learn a Language in Six
Months"
"Co-operatlve Holiday Travelling"
is the principal title of an extended
article, which describes in most enter
tanning fashion the touring guilds of
Toynbee Hail and the POLYTECHNIC In
stitute, London, and the travelling
clubs OF Liverpool and Manchester.
The article can have strong influence
upon the movement for cooperative
vacation Journeys that is beginning
to develop so notably in this country.
A unique feature of this number OF
the Review is an account OF the
Spanish Infanta's Royal Charity
Album, which she has just published
in the interest OF an orphan asylum.
1t contains contributions from the
crowned heads and noble families OF
all parts OF Europe. By consent
OF the royal editress there are repro
duced in the Review anumber os illus.
trations which show how certain royal
hiRhnesses can draw and paint.
The leading articles of the month
sum up the principal political, social,
religious and literary utterances and
achievements of the past few weeks.
This number of the Review 10 as
