Echesaray for the Colleges.

A laudable effort is being made by col
lege professors and publishers to widen the
field Of text books and to include among
these some Of the books that people talk
about. There may be some doubt as to
Echegaray's FL Gran Galeoto, which Prof.
Aurelio ". Espinosa of the University OF
New Mexico has edited with notes &C. A.
Koehler & Co., Boston,, but there can be
no doubt that it advances the study Of
Spanish nearly century, as the latest
Spanish play known to college students
before it is still Moratin's "El 81 de las
Nilas. unless We are mistaken.
Echegaray's play is surely great one.
Its exposition of Spanish character is even
more marked than the @lbsenesque" plot
that has secured it a hearing outside Of
Spain. But it is far from cheerful--it deals
with a subject that we hardly think can
interest an ordinary college class which has
TO spell out the Spanish, and we believe that
it is inadvisabe to present gloomy pct-
ures TO youth. particularly when the views Of
life they present are false.
Still. by this edition Prof Espinosa has
brought "El Gran Galeoto' within easy
reach of the American public, thing that
was worth doing. and, as we said before,
he has brought forward the living Spanish
literature. thing that was particularly
needed in the colleges. We wish he had
taken more pains with the introduction
and had given some hint at least Of the rela-
tive greatness of Calderon and Lope de
Vega, as long as he mentioned them at all.

NEW BOOKS.
How Not to write a Short Story.

Young writer's nowadays have their
path smoo thed for them. They no longer
have to exarine their own conscier ces
to find out whether what they have written
down Is worth telling or not, but find
plenty of kind mentors who urge them
to write anyway and offer to make matters
easy for them. This probably accounts
for the mass of historical novels that burden
the reviewers. The most innocent can see
how little proportion there is between the
writer's skill and the advertisers su ccess.
Now Mr.. Leslie ". Quirk takes it upon
himself to encourage the writing OF one
form of fiction in How to Write a Short
Story" 0he Editor Publishing company.
For some reason he seems to think that the
penny shocker' is the one form Of story
that is sure to find a market. Possibly
he is right, though we are inclined to doubt
it. In his directions. however, we find
but one that it is safe to follow. namely,
to turn in manuscript 10 as neat a form as
possible.
AS for his other directions they are best
not followed. Any reporter who should
follow them would be soon discharged from
even the yellowest Of journals, and we do
not believe that magazine editors would
show more mercy. If young writer
really has a story TO tell let him tell it, 1t
will do him no harm to read a dozen Of the
truly great stories and see how they are put
together. Then let him try his luck with
the publishers. Above all, let him leave
severely alone Mr.. Quirk and his so-called
exposition Of the technique OF short fiction
