know Of one good reason, and only
one, which really prevents detective
stories standing among the noblest
forms Of art. Most of the objections
raised against them by the vague mind
ed world of modern culture probably
the most vague minded world that has
ever eXisted) are quite narrow and
childish. To say that the detective tale
IT, sensational is simply to say that it
Is full of feeling or is aesthetic. Aes-
thetic is the Greek for sensational
Sensational Is the Latin for aesthetic
is connected with bald and positive
sin. with bald and positive death and
not with any of the fine spun drawing
room emotions which 1t Is now the
fashion to consider deep" is to pay it
a high compliment.
The Bible Is concerned with these
great plain sins and judgments. So
are the great Greek dramas, so are
the tragedies of the EliZabethans, so
are the old ballads, and so are all men
anywhere who live lives sufficiently
real to have ever seen the great plain
sins and judgments.
There is one good argument, as
have said, and one only, against the
police mystery, and that Is that police
mysteries exist to destroy mystery
when they have created 1t. A sad tale
should be saddest when we finish 1t;
happy tale should be happiest when
we finish 1t; a stirring tale should be
most stirring at the end, fantas-
tic tale most fantastic at the end.
But this kind of mysterious tale Is
not most mysterious at the end. 1t
is then least mysterious, or rather.
not mysterious at all. Instead of max
ing commonplace thing mystical
(the aim of all good art the detec-
tive reverses the process and makes
mystical thing commonplace. And
from this comes that one fatal weak
ness in the sensational novel of crime
and detection, the one thing that does
separate it, l am afraid, from great
fiction, the fact that there is no i'm
pulse to read it again A detective
tale we have read is an empty bottle

stroyed. The mystery of the sanity of

The ninth biennial report of w. b.

has been issued, showing that insti-

and prospecting beyond what could
be expected from the limited amount
of money at its disposal Supcrin-
tendent Hare reports IS students in
both departments and predicts an
enrolment of at least so by July LIST.
He asks an appropriation of $500 per
capita for his students from the leg
islatnre, or $4,000 Per year. When
it is considered that other states with
an average attendance of three and
four times as many students receive
state aid to the amount of $500 and
S3l5 for each pupil, Prof. Hare's re-
quest seems modest Florida should
at least see that the facilities for edu-

children are on a par with those of
