two villages the Cubans built temper
airy school houses out of the packing
boxes in which the books and school
supplies arrived Most remarkable OF
all. in several of the smaller villages
such a pride Is taken in the new school
that the inhabitants have voluntarily
requested permission to tax themselves
for It's support. dispensing altogether
with the aid now received from the
central government.
The author says: words cannot de-
scribe the earnestness with which all
have entered upon the work. The
teachers may not have been very well
equipped, but they were certainly en-
thusiastic: and as for the children. go
ing to school was to most of them the
greatest pleasure they had ever known.
a novelty which combined the quail
ties OF work and play" To the starved
minds of these poor Cuban children
each book was an edition de luxe, to
be treasured like Gutenberg Bible or
a first folio Shakespeare. Time and
again have I seen a Cuban child take
up one Of the school text books and
kiss It: and to meet one going about
with her books Rugged to her breast
like doll was common experience"
While the Cubans owe somewhat of
debt Of gratitude TO the United States
for services in freeing them from Span
ish dominion and bringing peace to the
war-swept country. the greater service
which this country has rendered Is In
placing the feet Of the people souarely
in the road toward good government.
with such advantages thrown around
each child and each citizen as he could
alone have under American dominion.
The peace. good order. good govern
ment and future advancement of the
Cuban people win be due almost en-
tirely to the work Of the American peo-
pie since the Spanish government was
overthrown. AS noble as 1t Is little
known. the effort Of this country, in
Its brief tenure of power in Cuba, to
lay the foundation Of good government
in public education will stand to Its ev-
erlastlng honor. IT il a type Of the mis-
sion that we feel to be ours among ev-
cry people consigned to our care. Let
those who rail about greed" and
mythical corporate influence" in our
new possessions learn what Is the real
purpose and controlling thought Of this
government and this people by the pro-
gress OF the American public school in
Cuba.

Library Expansion.

Some account OF the excellent work
done by our public library and of its
expansion appears in another column.
The growth OF city in this country
implies a large draft upon all the In
strumentalities OF culture and educa-
ton. OF thu thousands who come,
many rely chiefly upon the public IL
brary for their connection with the
world Of literature without. To an
ever-increaslng number 1t represents
the growth OF the quiet hours. com
munion with the great minds OF the
world, amusement and instruction. ed
ucation and the maturing OF the mind.
The preparation for the needs of the
body we see on every side: only within
the library walls. and upon occasions
when some summary OF its activities
and its plans is made public, do we see
what 1t Is doing for our people.
In every direction the Seattle public
library Is extending its usefulness and
charging its plans in accordance with
the work of similar institutions
throughout the country. II has already
put into working shape such additions
as the children's department. 1t pro-
poses to extend the hours when IL is

The Deeeneracy Of the Hero.

The Degeneracy OF the Hero.
Mrs John Sherwood, that excellent
critic and custodian OF American man
ners, recently wrote a protest against
the heroine Of the latter-day novel.
Barring some half dozen whom she
mentions, she finds that one must look
wide and far for a heroine who is not
"either ugly or repulsive. bad-tempered
or impossible and vulgar. commonplace
or bad-mannered and doing impossible
things"
This is a severe arraignment, but az
ter all, II Is no more so than the accu-
sations that can be brought against the
current hero. Consider the magazine
fiction OF the moment aside from the
hero OF the Century serial. which is.an
historical romance whose chief charac-
ter does not require to be looked at with
the view of determining the kind OF
husband and father or citizen and tax
payer he will make, the outlook is pro-
foundly discouraging There Is Tommy

most absorbing boy, but Tommy grown

pinching himself eternally to see. IL
this is really Tommy and If he is really
in love, Is one of the most depressing
masculine spectacles that has ever been
presented 10 an impatient public. We
are told that Tommy writes well and
we don't believe 1t. How could a man
do good work who spent all of his
leisure diagnosing as cracks in his car
diac apparatus what are really only
aching yoids in his vanity? OF course
we all know that Tommy is supposed
to represent the artistic temperament
incarnate, but really the artistic tenn
permanent is not so yellow as 1t is here
painted. 1t does not usurp the place Of
the ordinary human endowment: rather
II is something superadded, a potlatch
OF the gods. Barrie has drawn Tommy
as a creature with a thousand eyes
and no spine or circulatory system
that is to say, he is not man and a
hero, but a pathological freak.
Turning TO the Harper serial, we md
