The Century. for February, is a remark
ably fine number. An article which will
command very general attention Is that
by Frederic CORTLAND Penfie,d on "Har-
Messing the Nile" The subject is splen-
didly handled and in a way that makes II
deeply interesting. The history of Alex
ander the Great is continued and the short
stories are excellent. A writer in this
number of the Century proves Charles
Dickens to have been an educator and
shows that he was the first English kim
dergartner of note Over forty years ago
he wrote for Household Words an article
which would take leading place If COM
pared with the papers read at a meeting
of the International Kindergarten Union
to-day; and his novels not merely con-
tain innumerable passages of destructive
criticism, but set forth the best modern
Ideals of teaching, management and train
ing. The author Of this suggestive article,
In which the writings of the great novelist
are treated from a new point of view,
holds that Froebel and Dickens are the
best interpreters of Christ's ideals of
childhood. The Century Company, Union
Square, New York city.
There is nothing new that can be said

In the February number of the Ameri-
can Monthly Review of Reviews the editor
seeks to apply the lessons of our national
failures In the South during the recon
struction period following the civil war
to the present problems of a similar ma
ture in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philip
pines. His deductions are interesting and
instructive. He says: THE true way to
restore the South to the union after the
war was to restore the South to its own
people" The same principle applies to-
day in the new territories just coming
under our control. The editor warns us
against new type of carpet dagger" who
is threatening to invade Cuba-namely
the francnise-grabber. A large proportion
of space in this number of the Review is
given up to editorial and contributed arti-
