''The Old Order Changeth"

BY William Allen White Published by the
Macmillan company. New York. Price Si.25.
Democracy is struggling Tor the
rights Of man against the rights OF
property. The rich man is often demo-
cratic, the poor man sometimes in
tensely selfish. II is not a struggle OF
classes. not in America; il is a contest
in the heart Of the common people.
We are trying TO do justice under new
conditions in the world, conditions
arising from the stupendous changes
wrought TO humanity by the use Of
steam. We are trying, as it were. TO
digest in our social organism this new
epplc Of the knowledge Of good and
evil We are trying to socialize steam,
to make its results and achievements a
part Of an equitable existence-an ex-
istence consistent with good will
among men,"
Thus William Allen White describes
present day conditions in his new
book, The Old order Changeth.' The
author has a big serious purpose in
this book. He may be called a disciple
OF optimism. for he sees good in much
that to the ignorant may still seem
evil. He can find much fault with
things. but he is a philosophical evolu
zionist and is convinced that better
times are coming. The purpose of the
book is found in this passage:
This book viii try to tell not in the
} language Of the trained scientist but
in the words of an observer in the
midst Of life that now Is, something
about the present status Of society in
America. It is an effort to tell how

fed; housed. clad. given leisure and
vision-the common man, rich or poor

and instincts Of his own soul which
make for greed and oppression and
misery in this land Of ours"
The book is really a series of essays
on the past present and future Of
American democracy. It tells of the
origin and modification of our govern
D.. ment principles and how their funda-
mentals remain unchanged. He shows
on every page his belief in evolution
and in that shows, too, his marked diff

The Education of Women

By Marion Talbot Published by The Uni
versity Of Chicago Press, Chicago. Price $1.37.
The wonderful social revolution that
gave women access to the industries,
business life and higher school train
ing is described by Marion Talbot in
her book, The Education OF Women"
Miss Talbot's work is an argument
for specialization, especially in educa-
ton, TO meet the peculiar wants of
womankind She aims principally to
show how the educational machinery
should be modified, extended and de-
veloped to bring it into accord with
the changed occupations, interests and
responsibilities of women.
Professor Talbot's long service in the
interest of womens education as in
structor at Wellesley, secretary and
later president of the Association of
Collegiate Alumnae, president of the
Massachusetts Society for the Univer-
sity Education of Women and dean of
women at the University of Chicago,
has given her unequaled opportunities
for the study of her subject. Her sug
gestions for improving the conditions
under which women are educated today
reflect ripe judgment born of rich eX-
perience. The discussions relating to
changes in academic training, hygienic
education, social activities and do
mestic life have special reference to
the college period.
THE Education of Women" is divided
into three parts. the first of which is
a survey of the remarkable changes
that have affected women. Professor
Talbot emphasizes her arguments by
interesting examples and comparisons.
Her data include selections from diaries
OF the revolutionary period, statistics
from the United States census and re-
ports of colleges and educational
boards. Part II is description of the
educational machinery of the present

"Three Plays"

BY Mrs W. X. Clifford Published Big
Mitchell Kennerley. New York. Price $3.50.
Problems OF today are handled in
these three plays by Mrs. Clifford, and
she proves again her mastery of brill
liant writing. The first play, Ham
ilton's Second Marriage" has already
been produced in London and is the
best of the three. There are nine
characters in the cast, but, three of
them are of Importance. Maurice
Hamilton has divorced his first wife
and is betrothed to Sylvia Calendar.
an educated young lady who knows
little of life beyond her books. She
has difficulty in overcoming her par
ents' objections to Hamilton on ac-
count of the divorce, but at last it is
accomplished when she finds that her
own riding mistress. to whom she is
devoted, is her fiance's former wife.
In the course of time she marries a
harmless colorless youth and Hamilton
remarries his first wife. The play is
amusing and makes fine reading, but
has few dramatic possibilities. The
lines are clever, but one can not avoid
feeling that the play would be much
more effectiVe TX written in story form.
The second play is not so interest
ing. A poor boy is working for a
woman whose daughter is the light of
his existence. Years afterward he re-
turns to marry her, having found
wealth
"The Modern Way" is the title of
the last play, and contains some well
drawn characters. The play is a COM
edy of indecision. but would be more
effective as a story. for ii contains
scarcely any action. Two American
women are caricatured in a keen and
clever fashion without any viriousness.
The play is particularly good to read
but one can scarcely picture its be-
ing acted
