In addition to the long list Of questions
usually asked the teachers a new set will

factories are growing fast, still agriculture
is the source Of most of our wealth.

foothold in their house.
The lady is Mistress Neville, sister
to Sir Thomas Laxley, the father of
young Elizabeth travelling with her.
They are quite ignorant that Sir
Thomas is a Jacobite sympathizer and
his house is a meeting place for the
conspirators. These ardent workers
for the lost cause of Prince Charlie do
not know of another conspiracy much
more serious than theirs-that headed
by Lord Marlborough to place Anne on
the English throne. These two con-
spiracies are so interviewer that they
puzzle Tremayne fearfully at times and
make many of the characters work
against their own best interests.
The fortunes of love and war make
Tremayne apparently work constantly
against the happiness of the girl he
loves best in the world, but at last
everything is made right al once and
all are happy. The pictures of the
times are all done with a practiced
hand. 1t is difficult to believe that a
woman wrote the many fine descrip-
tions of fights and fighters in the book,
for by no slightest word does she, show
the soft feminine touch. The book is
well done and will have many pleased
readers.

By Jennette Lee, author of Uncle William.
York Price 81.
Just to hear that a new Uncle Will
liam" book is out is quite enough for
the readers of that beautifully opti-
mistic tale. They need no reviews of
this newest one. Happy Island" but
for the benefit of a few who were so
unfortunate as to miss that book a few
words will not be amiss.
Uncle William is a sort of autocrat
of Happy island. He is a quaint old
philosopher, real disciple of optimism
loved by everybody. This book is a
short time in the lives of these expo
much plot, but the main interest Is the
romance between Celia, the girl Uncle
William rescued in the city, and George
Manning, who has never had time to
bother about girls. Uncle William sees
that they will be unhappy and helpless
without him, and his efforts to further
the love making are comic and pathetic.
Happiness is the keynote of the little
book, and the beauties of nature must
be appreciated to bring true happiness.
Uncle William deplores the fact that he
does not seem to have anything in
particular to do, and says: Like
enough, ought to be out hustIing for
suthin. But / do no what it'd be.

II TO say that Mr.. Baker writes fear
lessly Of facts as he finds them, but
without viciousness or venom.
One OF the most interesting chapters
is entitled The Disintegration of the
Jews-a study of the SynagOgues of
New York City" In the course of this
chapter the author speaks in the high
est terms OF two great leaders. He
says:
AT the extreme radical wing of the
reform movement stand two remark
able men, DR.. Emil G. Hirsch of Sinai
temple Of Chicago, who is the greatest
leader Of liberal Judaism in this coun-
try, and DR.. Stephen s. Wise, who or
ganized two years ago the free syna-
gogue in New York. Both of these
men are brilliant and effective speak
ers, and their utterances upon public
questions have been marked with sin
gs1lar courage. Both have given up
entirely the Friday and Saturday serv-
tces-the last stronghold Of Judaism
and hold their services on Sunday; and
both, in common with most reform syn
agogues. have adopted the Christian
idea of Sunday and bible schools to
teach the English bible. But, most
significant Of all, perhaps. both have
taken exactly the same steps that the
more progressive Christian churches
have taken, and have started extensive
institutional activities"
While Mr.. Bakers book is filled with
interesting facts and quotable passages.
Il does not get anywhere. 1t raises all
sorts Of questions which remain un-
nswered to the end and creates, in
deed, a spiritual unrest. The last
chapter in the book deals with Prof
Walter Rauschenbusch's Christianity
and the Soci Il Crisis" Mr.. Baker an
slyzes the book with fairness and ex-
treme care and offers one suggestion
for improvement of the conditions of
today. He says:
There must be, from now forward.
quite a new preaching and teaching
The preaching Of repentance from So
cisl sin and the need of social saliva
ton. The old evangelism fixed the at
tention OF man upon himself, a selfish
saving OF himself from hell; the new
evangelism fixes his attention equally
upon the other man-upon the sal
walton and reconstruction of human
society"
The articles are all written in a
sane and unhysterical fashion, and
though the reader will not always
agree with the author he viii be in
terested in the reading.
