An Estimate Of MIR. Rtlex,s Work

Mr. Bliss Carman contributes to the At
lantIc Monthly for September a most SYM
pathetic and appreciative estimate of Mr.
Riley's verse and of the authors place in
the literary world. 'NIr. Riley at his best"
he says lis both original and sane He
seems to have accomplished that most diff
ficult feat. the devotion of ones self to an
art without any deterioration of health. He
is full of the sweetest vitality, the soundest
merriment His verse is not strained with
an overburden of philosophy, on the one
hand, nor debauched with maudlin senti-
mentalisn, on the other. Its robust gayety
has all the fascination of artlessness and
youth. 1t neither argues, nor stimulates
nor denounces, nor exhorts; it only touches
and entertains us. And after all, few things
are more humanizing than innocent amuse-
ment. 1t is because of this quality of album
dant good nature, familiar. serene, homeIy,
that it seems to me no exaggeration to call
Mr.. Riley the typical American poet of the
day True, he does not represent the cult
waited and academic classes; he reflects
nothing of modern thought; but in his un-
ruffied temper and dry humor, occasionally
fiippant ON the surface. but never facetious
at heart, he might stand very we'll for the
normal American character in his view of
life and his palpable enjoyment of it. Most
foreign critics are on the lookout for the
appearance of something novel and uncon-
ventional from America, forgetting that the
laws of art do not change with longitude
They seize now this writer now on that
as the eminent product of democracy. But
there is nothing unconventional about Mr.
Riley. He is like folks as an old New
England farmer said of Whittier. And if
the typical poet of democracy in America is
to be the man who most nearly represents
average humanity throughout the length
and breadth of this country, who most COM
pletely expresses its humor, it's sympathy
it's intelligence. its culture and its common
sense. and yet is not without touch of
original genius sufficient to stamp his ut
terances then Mr.. James Whitcomb Riley
has a Just claim to that title"
That Mr.. Carman has studied his subject
closely is shown by this subtle comment:
Mr.. Riley is a true balladist He is really
doing for the modern popular taste here
and now. what the old baliadists did in their
time. He is an entertainer. He has the ear
of his audience. He knows their likes and
dislikes, and humors them. His very con-
siderable and very successful experience as
q public reader Of his own work has rein
forced Zone may guess mis- natural modesty
regardful of their pleasure So that we must
look upon his verse as a most genuine and
spontaneous expression of average poetic
feeling well as personal poetic inspira-
ton.

them mold his policies.

show that responsibility for inefiiciency in
niggardly legislation by Congress. Surgeons
employed by contract from civil life may
be thoroughly competent professionally, and
yet so ignorant of army life and military
forms as to be unable to take care of those
in their charge. Between volunteer sur
geons who have everything to learn regard
ing field service and volunteer officers who
cannot instruct them, the medical service
must necessarily be lame. The chief blame
for this lies on the system which fails to
prepare for war in time of peace.

A novel variation in the way of vaca-
ton school has been conducted for the bene-
fit of Boston children this season at the
suggestion of Mayor Quincy. A camp was
established on an island belonging to the
city, near the entrance to the harbor, and
placed under a competent superintendent,
9th numerous assistants, including COM
potent cooks. Then the boys were sent out
in squads, each allowed to spend a certain
time, sometimes not more than day. Ev-
cry boy is given some work to perform
during the day. usually in the kitchen. and
is on guard duty for a certain length of
time The afternoons are devoted to recrea-
ton, boating, swimming, baseball, etc., and
the evenings to music, stories told by the
superintendent or others about camp fire,
talks by visitors, and so on. 1t is not a
school in the ordinary sense. but the boys
learn many things through precept and ex-
ample. being under supervision even in
their plays. About 1900 children. who
would otherwise have been unable to leave
the city. have visited the camp this sum-
mer, and are eager for the chance to re-
turn. The educators of to-day are not only
doing what they can for the rising genera
ton. but are looking to the future and
putting into practice Holiness saying that
the training of child must begin a hun
dred years before he is born. With the
berefits afforded to children now the young
sters of 4 later century promise to be prodi-
gies of good behavior. health and intelli-
gence.

A dispatch from Havana says that Miss
Clara Barton has gone to Matanzas and.
by the advice of the civil governor of Ha-
vana, will devote her efforts, for the pres
ent. to the relief of the poor in the interior
towns of Cuba. The activity of this
lady since the war began, the energy
she has shown in directing the
operations of the Red Cross Society,
and the conspicuous benefits of her
labors in army hospitals and among the
starving Cubans will form a bright page in
the history of the war. 1t is not merely
the energy she has shown, remarkable in
one of her age-about sixty-eight years.
but the endurance, the executive ability and
the apparent disregard of climatic and other
dangers that make the case remarkable.
Many other women have rendered noble
service. some of them volunteer nurses, who
have left attractive homes to do the work
Of common nurses, and they all deserve
mention among the heroines of the war, but
as the executive head of an organization
of worldwide extent and fame Miss Bar
tons case is peculiar. Wherever duty and
suffering have called there she has gone, al
ways at a timely moment and with abun-
dant supplies and ample assistance to dis
tribute them No general could have ham
died his forces more efficiently than she has
done or worked with greater zeal and in
telligence Admiral Sampson paid her the
high compliment of permitting the relief
ship Texas. of which she was practically
in command, to be the first to enter SAINT
iago harbor. and wherever she has gone she
has been welcomed, with her supplies and
assistants. as dispenser of blessings. Miss
Barton is sometimes called the Florence
Nightingale of America Her public services
have been even more varied and extensive
than those of the celebrated British nurse,
for while the latter did military hospital
service only during the two years of the
crimean war. Miss Barton served in that ca
pacity during the entire period Of our civil
war. during the year Of the Franco
