The Critic" of August 21st opened
with a paper by Frances E. Willard,
wherein are set forth certain short
comings in the Education of Women"
as seen and communicated to her by
college bred newspaperman. The faults
indicated are of commission as well
as omission the observer pointing out
several flaws that we'll deserve the at
tention of modern educators. The pa
per is likely to provoke considerable
discussion among the heads and facul-
ties of women's colleges. The reviews
of the number are all of educational
books. The "Lounger'' states that Hall
Caine. whose new novel, The Chris
tian," has just been published holds
the record for high prices in the lit
erary world-that, in fact, he has been
paid more for his latest book than any
novelist has received even in this de-
cade of big prices. The same author
ity states. also, that the notes taken
by MIR Caine for his story filled six
barrels. A fac simile of a page of
these notes is given. and suggests for
eibly that, after all. there is a great
deal in the taking OF infinite pains.
