Throughout his eventfuI career. he

for their highest welfare. He was con-

rescue and help them. Out of the depths
of patriotism and fraternity he whisper

them safely into perpetual union and
peace. He al ways met them on the
broad level of political equality.
In all his actions, he appeared be

Professor Munsterberg utterly
condemns the Boards argument that
our present spelling is the reason for
The backwardness of American scho ol
children. ''The spirit of this state
ment," he writes, contains a grave
but subtle danger for our whole
Ameaican school work. If this fairy
like tale becomes dogma, then every
forward movement of serious educa-
tional progress is sidetracked again
for long while"
Professor Munsterberg's article is
challenge to the leaders of Spelling
Reform. Coming from a source of
unquestionable authority, and strik-
ing with force at the very roots of
the movement, will give new turn
10 the discussion of this much-de-
bated question.
"Men and women are but men
and women-not gods-very human
and frail and faulty, and, adoring
over-keenly, they demand too much
and forgive not at all" This is the
burden of Justus Miles Forman's de
ightful love story in November Nc
CLURE's one of those brief anc
exquisite bits of lyrical prose which
read like a snatch of song. The
falling out of TWO young married
lovers and their happy reconciliation
is told with the tender, compassion
ate irony of one who envies while HI
smiles at the follies and extravag
ances of youth.
