PROFESSOR PHELPS COMMEND.
 ED.

The New York Times book review section says:
 Professor William Lyon Phelps of Yale has way of uttering literary judgments that stir. We have already expressed our opinion that his influ- ence is wholesale. He makes the youngsters think by putting them in the right mood for thinking. Of course we do not doubt that Professor Phelps utterances are perfectly sound and honest. When he insists that Mark Twain is the greatest novelist he does So with frank admission of the uncertain definition of the word novelist" But From Sawyer and "huekleberl& Finn" are surely novels if "Tom Jones and "Tristrlm shan- dy' are novels, and they a1e also great and vital literary works. As for settli,tg the fflatiye rank of MT. Ole mems with Mir. Howells, Nil. James, Dr Holmes. Hawthorne and Bret Harte. we may safely leave that to rosseri,y Anyhow, posterity will de- eide for itself. no matter what one may say What we liked best in the report of Professor Phelps Bridgeport lecture last week was his declaration that Mark Twain is more American than Walt whitman. That is perfect ly true. Mark Twain is more whole somely. yitally. picturesquely, honest ly American than t.Walter of Cam den. We would not, for the world, stir up the ire of the Whitmanites, whose opinions of their favorite poet we are always glad to print-when occasion requires and there is room to spare. But it has always seemed to us that too much is made of Whit mans 'Americanism." Paganism would often be the better word.

 sions on February 1.
