Hamline Methodist Episcopal Church.
together with members of his Epworth
League, hold series OF outdoor meet
ings every Sunday. These have a ten
dency toward the mission service rath-
err than toward the regular form Of the
majority of the park services, being of
an evangelistic nature.
One can find every known type al
most at these various meetings. There
Is one thing, however, that those in
terested in all the meetings join in
claiming That is that there is no dis
turbance from outsiders. No matter
how much of scoffer a passerby may
be. perhaps. it seems nevertheless that
those participating in the services are
free from their jeers. Whether ii be
an Unborn respect for religion. or an
unknown fear. they all claim that the
attitude OF the multitude Is that of any
ordinary church cohgregation.

This girl is an Albanian peasant. The
man is a monkish soul. in whom the

monastery in penitential frenzy, pursuit
for revenge on the part Of the girl as

atmosphere of pure medievalism that
surrounds this monastic eyrie, shut out
by it's physical impregnability from the

of this question. for 1t offers an oppor-

country with that abroad with relation to
the use of land and water routes for the

economic situation of the peoples of the

position. This is not a document in ia

Mark Twain's death has resulted in
several publications consisting of works
from his pen. the reissue OF which is
virtually demanded by the public. One
of the most interesting of these reproduc-
tons Is the present compilation OF ex-
tracts from three OF his best known works
designed for use for school reading.
These selections are taken from THE
Prince and the Pauper." "A Connecticut
Yankee in King Arthur's Court and
Personal Recollections of Joan of
Arc" These selections preserve the de-
lightful quality Of Mark Twain's style,
and at the same time present narratives
that appeal to the young reader. A series
of excellent illustrations accompanies the
extracts.

with Indian affairs, and writes with con-
siderable feeling of the failure OF many
Englishmen to understand the native and
to gain his point OF view and extend TO
him a full measure ofssympathy as
thinking human being. The tale turns
upon the Vaccinations OF an Englfshman
to bring to his enterprise the wealth and
power of a young rajah. who has immured
himself strictly within his native environ
ment and declined communication with the
English. The collapse of the mining enter
prise into which the rajah Is led. and a
disclosure of the method by which he has
been tempted out into the world precipi-
tate tragic climax, illustrating the
manner in which many of the native up
risings in Hindustan have occurred and
also indicating the magnitude OF the Eng
lish task in governing that vast country.
AMERICAN SOCIAL PRO G n f 8
SERIES-SOCIAL INSURANCE, .
Program of Social Reform. BY
Political Economy in Columbia Uni
versity. New York: The Macmillan
Company.
Prof. Seager delivered this lecture in
the School of Philanthropy conducted by
the Charity Organization Society in the
city OF New York. 1t attracted the at
social problems of the day and Is now
regarded as an important contribution to
the public thought along these lines.
Prof. Seager believes that in the lack Of
provision against personal disaster lies
the chief danger menacing the indus
trial classes today. This danger comes
through disabling accidents, through ILL
ness and premature death. through unem-
ployment and through the decline OF the
earning ability with the lapse of years.
In an ideal social state no member Of the
working class would ever become de-
pendent upon charity, as a result of a
sufficient saving against the day of need.
The indisposition of a large percentage
OF working people and other persons Of
small means to save something from their
current incomes furnishes an apparently
insurmountable obstacle In the way Of
reform. 1t is deemed possible. however,
for the state to intervene. to encourage
and promote habits of thrift. and even
to institute compulsory saving processes
and to insure against old age poverty by
the adoption of systems OF pensions.
Prof. Seager believes that the postal saw
ings bank. which has been established
since his lecture was delivered, will go
far toward teaching the industrial classes
of the country to save. He advocates
the establishment of state employment
agencies and of the adoption of a method
of insurance against unemployment such
as has been put into operation in Ger
many. careful reading of this volume
leads to the conclusion that while the
problems of our social conditions are
difficult they are not beyond solution.
