Of all that pertains to literary criticism
and to the appreciation" Of Pater's per
sOnluty the critics Of Wright's biography
have gTievOusly complained. Many Of
them have. indeed, sat in the seat Of the
scOrnful. One of these critical gentle
men even went so far as to say-it was In
the London Academy-with the air Of
those who den0unce a man for the uu-
pardonable sin, that Mr.. Wright was
vulgar" But who can believe this,
when Mr. Wright himself, in a letter TO
the abOve-named paper. puts in the fol-
lowing disclaimer:
] am sCrry that you refer 20 my work as being WI
ear. There is certainly no vugarity in il. and every
one who knows my character iand have been before
the public a hioEapher many years. knows that
abhor yulgarity above all things
When il Is admitted that many hard
things have been said about this book at
home and abroad, why. it will be asked,
has it made a pronounced success on both
sides OF the water? The reason is plain;
it is because it records many matters that
arc nowhere else recorded-matters that
illuminate Pater's character, and his
works through his character.

THE STOCK MARKET


 New York, Sept. 4.--,rhe reaction in prices of stocks today was regarded as being due, for the most part to the natural running out of the forces for recovery which has been operative more than week now. But, beside the normal reactionary tendency there was some revival of positive factors of de- pression. These had to do mostly with phases of the anti-corporation agitation. The incidents of most influence in reawak- ening the subject were the apparent obsta- cles raised against the granting of immunity to Chicago and Alton for the testimony used in convicting the Standard oil Company of rebating and the reopening of the hearings in the local traction inquiry which is being conducted by the public service commission. Another source of anxiety was the doubt. into stable condition at the lower price level established by yesterdays cut There seemed to be more assurances on this head abroad than in this country and copper se- curities there improved in contrast with their conspicuous position in the declining tendency here.
 Sterling exchange also fell further. as 1t did in Paris but the decline in discount rates in London was uninterrupted The sharp upturn in wheat was not disregarded in the stock market although it was attributed principally to foreign crop conditions. The profit taking towards the end of the day on the part of the bears reduced the de- clines to some extent but the closing tone was easy.
 Bonds were firm Total sales par value clined M and the coupon # per cent on call.

THE WIDE SPREAD
Of superstitutiOn Among The Edu-
 cated.

Of SuperstitutiOn Among The Edu-
 cated.
 Does superstition prevail among majority of educated people. The ques- tion came up for discussion in group Of college men in Providence not long while not believing in any of the com mon suoerstitions they were more or less influenced by the feeling" that attaches to the notion of bad fortune following certain signs or events. Said one, quoted in The Providence Jour nal:
 ''Personally I don't believe that edu- cation has anything to do with super stition. I know a college professor widely known as an author as well as an educator who absolutely refuses to sit thirteen at the table. l know it be- cause of an experience I had while l was a student under him. l was i'm vited to dinner at his house one night, together with number of other fel- lows The invitation was very infor- nal and I forgot it absolutely. It was a bad break of course. and one that it's hard to apologize for, but the or dinary scorn that you'd expect to meet for such social lapse wasn't mark CT to the deception l met when l tried to explain afterward.
 And the reason for this was sim ply because my absence left thirteen to sit down. But this the professor absolutely refused 10 do. Inc euliEo party waited nearly an hour for me and then in despair sent out for D neigrbor. The latter had already dtned, but obligingly ~ame In and sat all through the dinner simply to enable the rest to eat at all.
 That such an instance is not unusual but rather what may naturally be eS- pected in spite of the education and culture that is supposed to combat su- perstition is the inference to be drawn sLl from a study of the subject made by Prof. Fletcher Bascom Dresslar of the University of California, who has just issued a book on superstition and Ed ucation" based on inquiries extending normal school pupils of California
 Some startling figures are given as a result of this research, the conclusion being that education is by no means a sure cure for superstition. As ex- pressing the attitude of many ,eSs educated ted remark of a French writer: T do not believe in ghosts. but I am afraid of them" ,..... =,

majority of whom stated frankly their belief or disbelief in one or more par IIcuIar superstitions. The total num- Der of separate confessions" made by the S75 was 7,176. Of these 3,051 were expressions of disbelief, 2,132 of par tiaI belief and 1,093 of full belief This, combining the last two groups, gives 44.9 per cent of the number who ad. Initted being influenced to some extent by superstitions and 55.1 per cent who were not, figures that are somewhat surprising when 1t Is remembered that all those examined were normal schooL pupils preparing themselves to become teachers
