WITHIN COLLEGE WALLs.-This vol
ume, which is plea for college education,
is from the pen of Dr. Charles F. Thwing,
president of Adelbert College and of the
Western Reserve University, a man espec-
tally qualified to write upon the subject.
III is a serious day when the child leaves
home for college," says the author. 1T is
serious for the child, serious for the home,
serious, too, for the college. The
purpose of the best home and the best col
lege is Identical. 1t is the purpose of making
the character of the student-child strong
and pure and noble. Some parents
are asking too much of the college, they
are asking what they do not ask for them
selves. The college cannot do much in
undoing parents training, but il can do
much toward adding to it," The concIu-
sions in the book are evidently drawn from
the authors personal experience and OBJ
servation as college student and president,
AMI as such have value as guide and
encouragement to those within college
walls That the arguments in favor of
college education for business men are of
great weight no one who carefully consid-
ers them will deny. New York: The

DODo-There is no particular moral to
the story of "Dodo," a novel, by E. f.
Benson. There is even a touch of some
thing which. il not exactly immoral, yet
grazes the shady side as nearly as a tale
can and say nothing that offends. The story
is entertainingly told and we'll written.
but it is the story of a woman who cannot
love and so is a bit unnatural. 1t is the
story of a sort of woman who has an ex-
istence in certain kinds of books, but
who. mercfully for the race, is found no.
where else, unless it be. now and again, in
the police court as the Victim of the drink
habit or the morphine habit. MIR. Benson
mas placed this woman on the
outer edge of the London smart
set, through which she peneIIates to
the inner circle by reason of her marriage
TO an Earl. and through dint Of a certain
Questionable skill Mt skirt-danciDg before
a select audience flushed with champagne
Aside from this. however, she has no bad
habits. thongh she marries one man. loves
another to whom she is to be married after
the first one dies, and finally elopes with a
third, who seems to have exercised over
her control somewhat akin 10 hypnotism.
On the whole the tale leaves bad taste
though you will probably read It through
