The latest addition to the International Edu-
cation Series, edited by DIR. w. T. Harris aud
published by the Appletons, is n volume named
The Education NJ The Greek People aud IT. InJu-
ence on Griiizdtfon. by Prof. THOMAS DAVIDSON.
The title OF the book is somewhat misleading,
and the exact aim of IL is explained In the
preface. II is not the purpose Of this work to
set forth in detail the facts of Greek education
in historical sequence, hut rather to show how
the Greek people were gradually trained up to
that stage OF culture which made them the
teachers OF the whole world. and what the effect
OF, that teaching has been. Hence, education in
the narrow pedagogic sense is presented only In
the barcst outline, while prominence is given to
the different stages In the growth OF the Greek
political, ethical. and religious Consciousness
and to the bearings of these apon Greek history
aid institutions. as well as upon the later world.

him later, to use his own expression, "to enjoy
the privilege, now doleful and now glorious, OF
telling what he had beheld," and OF retracing
with scrupulous care even minute details.

Among the many circumstances conducive to
the miscarriage OF the Russian campaign was
NapoleOn's failure to turn TO the best account
the talent of Davoust, who, and not Soult OF
MassenAa should be accounted the greatest
French captain Of his time next to the EN-
peror. What Segur thought Of D&youst Is in

these memoirs, where he says, referring TO the

Why did the expedition against Russia fail ?
1t is plain that, in Segur's opinion. though he
does not distinctly say so, there, were many
causes, some diplomatic and political. some
strategic. Undoubtedly it was unfortunate for
Napoleon that Sweden and Turkey the powers
that would lie upon his TANKS, did not become
his allies. Sweden's failure to play that part
must be ascribed to Bernadotts; Turkeys to
some lack of skill On the part OF the French
diplomatic agent hut thsAe miscArriAgssm might
have mAttered little had Napoleon ~annoUncsd
at the beginning a purpose to reestabllsh Poland
as she was at the time Of the union with Lithn-
ania. Thus reconstructed. Poland would have
constituted a mighty barrier against Russia and
a safe basis OF supply and reinforcement for a
movement against Moscow or st. Petersburg.
So long as this step was not taken, it was a mis-
take. in SGguT's judgment, not TO 60 into winter
quarters on the line Of the Dnieper and post
pOne the advance against the old or the new
capital of Russia until the spying OF 1913.
As It was. the expedition against Moscow might,
perhaps. have been successful had Napoleon
proclaimed the emancipation OF the serfs, and
thus exposed the Russian sovereign and nobility
20 the perils of a social war.
What Ssgur says upon the Polish question is
too important TO be passed over. Il is pointed
out that, In order 70 reach Russia IL Bss

1t Is interesting 10 learn. as we do from his
aide de camp, that even after Napoleon himself
had changed his mind most Of those who sur
rounded him yehemently opposed the project of
an advance from VitepsS against Snoleask and
Moscow. Berthier showed his disapproval by u
dolefnl countenance, complaints. and even tears:
Lobau and Caulaincourt, with a :rankness
which, in the case of the first named, took the
form OF a cold rudeness, excussble in a brave
warrior. and which in the second was persistent
TO the point Of stubbornness and impetuous to
the verge Of violence. The Emperor put aside
their observations with i'll humor, and cried out,
addressing himself particularly 10 his aide de
camp and to Berthier, that "he had made his
Generals too rich; that they no longer aspired
10 anything but the pleasures OF the chase, and
70 displaying their sumptuous eauipages In
Paris, and that doubtless they were tired OF

no reply was possible; there was nothing for il
but 10 bow the head in resignation.
Duroc also, It seems, disapproved OF the adj
vance. indicating his opinion first by q chilling
silence, then by curt replies and comments. To
him the Emperor said that he saw well enough
that the Russians were only trying to draw him
onward; but, for all that, it was necessary 10

Whether from natural or acquired pride, Ds-
voust liked not to take orders from any one
smaller than the chief man of Europe. More
over, his character was downright, stubborn and
tenacious, scarcely more disposed TO bow to cir
cumstanccs than to men. In 1909 Berthier had
been his commanding officer for a few days.
during which Davoust while disobeying him,
had won a battle and saved the army. Thence
had sprung a deadly hatred, which, during the
period Of peace, increased. though they dwelt
apart from one another, Berthier ut Paris, Da-
voust at Hamburg. The war with Russia brought
them once more in contact. Berthier at this
time was breaking down. Since 1908, war of
any kind had been distasteful TO him. His tall
emit lay chiefly in his activity and In his mem
DRY. He knew how TO receive and transmit
news and the most multiplied orders at any hour
Of the day or night. But at the outset OF the
Russian campaign he fsncied that he
had the right TO give orders himself.
These orders dlspleased Davoust. Their
first interview gave rise TO a violent
alterations; 1t took place at Marienburg in
the Emperor's presence. Davoust set forth his
views in a sturdy and harsh way; he went 80
far as TO accuse Berthier of incapacity or trea-
son. The two men threatened one another, and,
when Berthier had gone away. Napoleon. car
ried along by the naturally suspicious character
of Davoust, cried: ut sometimes occurs to me
to doubt the fidelity of my oldest comrades in
arms. But then l grow wild with sorrow, and l
hasten to repress suspicious that SO hurt me-"
While Davoust was pluming himself. perhaps,
on having humiliatod his enemy, the Emperor
betook himself to Dantzic, whittier Berthier,
eager for vengeance, followed him. Thencefor-
ward the zeal and renown Of Davoust, the pains
he had taken TO assure the success OF the expedl-
ton. aud everything which should have counted
In his favor began to be reckoned against him.
The mischievous impression on Napoleon deep
ened and had fatal results; II banished from his
confidence a bold, wise, and tenacious warrior,
and emphasized his prediction for Mnrat,
whose rashness better f~attered his hopes.

The primary aim OF the author OF this volume
Is to sketch the growth Of the Greek civilization
through the several stages Of the house
hold, the village community, and its elimination
in the Athenian city state, 10 its dissolution in
the sCumenical or universal empire Of Rome.
He then goes on TO discuss the relative value OF

IL grew, and OF the Christian civilization TO

What. then. 10 the ultimate conclusIon which
Prof. Huxley reaches? II is this: that ,hu pro-
gressIye modification of civilization which

In tho H-st thirty pages Of his preface Prof.
Husiey represents in broad outlines the essential
features Of the so-called state Of nature and OF the
cosmic process OF which II is the outcome. With
that state of nature he contrasts the state OF art
produced by human intelligence and energy. as
II is exemplifed by a garden; and he shows that
the state OF art here and elsewhere can be main
tained only by the constant counteraction Of the
hostile influences OF the state Of nature. He
further points out that the horticultural pro-
cess which thus sets itself against the "cosmlc
process lie opposed to the latter in principle, in
so far as IL tends to arrest the struggle for exist
ence by restraining the multiplication. which is
one ~ the chief causes OF that struggle, and by
creating artificial conditions Of life better
adapted to the cultivated plant than are the
conditions of the ntate of nature. He dwells.
too, upon the fact that though the progressive
nfpdihcation which Is the consequence OF the
struggle for existence In the state Of nature is
at AN end. such modification may still be effect
ed by that deliberate selection. In view Of an

Bessie Hall and Georgiana Cary.
The many little friends OF Miss Alma
who were TO share in tie pleasures began
to arrive about 2 o'clock and then COM
menced round Of fun and girlish romp
on the spacious lawn. Croquet and
large swing afforded the attractions for
many and all enjoyed the time to the
fullest extent until 5 O'Clock when black
eyes, blue eyes, black heads and golden
heads gathered 10 the dining room to eat
and drink to their content.
What merry little party it was to be
sure, when they were all comfortably

no means least enjoyable feature Of the
day, the serving of lunch which included
sandwiches, fruit, ice cream. cake, pickles,
and other goodies to tempt the girlish
appetite. At 6 O'Clock the little friends
of the honored hostess wished her many
