it shows very intimately the work

mind gets its impressions and what
it does with them.
In Wagner's STORY of My Life" it
is possible to trace something that
has greatly influenced the world back
to its source in the influence of cir
cumstances on a gifted and powerful
nature.
This book is sure to have a wide
spread influence in the long run. 1t
will be considered forever by stu
dents of great men. 1t is a really
permanent and invaluable contribu-
ton to the study and understanding
of great men, Although it is in no
sense a popular volume, it is great
In the purely educational field, the
most important literary achievement
of the year has undoubtedly been the
publication of the first volume of the
Cyclopedia of Education, edited by
Professor Monroe of Columbia. That
is, from the standpoint of education,
a monumental work. 1t is the first
collection in the English language Of
compact statements concerning every
important aspect of education Teach
ers and every one who has to do with
education will find it enormously use
full. 1t is not only thoroughly com
petent, but it is simple and intelli-
gible as well. 1t is a great book,

browsed in many books and several
of them l have read with more than
passing interest OF these several,
one alone stands out in conspicuous
relief against all others As a mat
ter of fact, this book, The Changing
Chinese" by Professor Edward Ais
worth Ross, made an impression up
on me such as no book has succeeded
in making since l was boy with
dug-eared copy of 'Ivanhoe" under
my pillow at night.
What the enchanted world Of adj
venture and romance invoked by
Scott and the Romanticists was to
me in boyhood such a book as Profes-
sor Ross's is to me now Dealing as
it does with a race and a civilization
about which at the best we can have
but a glimmer of understanding, Pro
fessor Ross's book partakes of the ma
ture of a most vivid and absorbing
romance, and that Notwithstanding
the fact that in all its three hundred
and odd pages there is not a single
word of fine writing" not the slight
est intimation of sentiment, per Sc
nothing in short, but facts and fig
ures of the most uncompromising
nature, with observations not of the
dramatist but the man of science,
the historian, and sociologist
And yet, between the lines, what
nnumerable dramas, what stipend
Gus poetry, what vistas of mystery
and romance! Every page teens with
splendid tragedy. In a single para
graph in that portion of the book
bearing upon the City of Canton
there is enough material to keep a
playwright busy all his life.

From Walter pamrosch.

To me the most interesting book If
the year has been Richard Wagner's
"Story of My Life" That is re-
markable book. 1t is a most Won
derful study of the evolution of a
man from low and sordid beginnings
to a higher conception of life. I re
gard this book more as a literary than
a musical document. 1t is not the life
of Wagner but a supplemental study
a record of actual events as they
shaped his life; it is a much more
universal thing than if it were the
study of Richard Wagner merely as
a musician The proof of this lies in
the books enormous popularity and
it's great sales. 1t has been read by
thousands of people outside the small
musical circle, It is book that will
live as literature.
The only book comparable to it, in
my opinion, is Jean Jacques. Rous-
seau's Confessions" Wagner's story
OF MS lie VIII i've along with ROus-
seaus confessions and Boswelrs Life
of Johnson"
The lesson of Wagner's book should
he that no man ought to be judged
by the episodes of his career, by this
bit of experience, or that isolated
The real analysis must depend upon
the net result, and the real judgment
must be passed on the net result,
taking into consideration the causes
that lead up to acts.
While | myself believe that Wag-
ner's autobiography is the greatest
book of the year, | realize that there

to obey orders, thus learning how to
give orders.
AS will be seen, these eighteen
scoutmasters, when by hard work they
have trained up a full troop of TWEEN
ty-four boys each, will he an outfit 480
strong. AS there are 5000 boys Of
scout age az to 49, on Oahu, you can
see how obedient, how loyal, how all
around decent, helpful and handy a
boy must be to stay in!
Every dollar spent by a scout for
uniform or equipment must be earned
or won by himself or his team. It
may be years before we are uni,
formed, but scouting takes no heed Of
that. No prizes for mere dress We
earn money by giving displays, doing
real work or getting men and women
to join the organization as non-voting
members of the Council.
Four sorts of membership exist
81, IS, $40, S25 and $1OO-you have
voice in the meetings twice a year,
but no vote. We will require $1,000 a
year for club-room rents, transporta-
ton and prizes. Perhaps more.

From Rabbi Stephen S, Wise.
Being asked to name the book Of
the year l name the book that has
made the profoundest impression up
on me. The book of the year, from
my own viewpoint, is a book which,
up to this time, is but little known.
The author has not yet come to his
own in this country, and am not
certain that even in his native Eng
land, even the discerning quite under
stand that new and most significant
figure has arisen in the world of Eng
fish letters. -
civilian Wilfrid Gibson, it is evil
dent, comes Of rarely gifted stock, for
his sister, Mrs. Thomas K. Cheyne,
wife of Canon Cheyne of Oxford, has
for several years been writing poems
of distinctly individual character,
many of them brought together in
recently published volume entitled
The Way of the Lord tl
THE book by w. w Gibson, which
for me has been the book of the year,
is Daily Bread published in the
form of three little volumes.
DAILY Bread is an achievement
of most uncommon literary and spir-
itual value. Mr.. Gibson has brought
together within the compass of Daily
I Bread a series of sketches in poet
ical form of the lives of the men and
women workers in England who
spend the whole of life in toling for,
rather than getting, daily bread.
Simple, sincere, powerful, are the
glimpses of the life of unprotesting
toll and unrevolting misery. The
sketches of Gibson are not a matter
of skillful literary analysis, nor of
morbid and half-benevolent Character
ization. They are not bits of history
nor attempts at viyisection. They are
terribly real and terribly earnest por
traits of terribly real lives, with moth
ing, however, of the sordid elements
of realism, but with much of a deeply
convincing spiritual insight that gives
to these books rarely arrestive quail
ity. He who would run as he reads
must not nibble at Daily Bread But
let him who would commune with
seer-poet turn to the Daily Bread

not answer your question in any gen

most interesting and valuable that l

From the Bishop of the Diocese q

In response to your inquiry, asking
me the name of the best book of the
year, permit me to say that it is a
difficult if not impossible question to
answer There are different depart
ments of Observation-Disclosures, sci
ence, romance, theology, poetry, etc.
and each of these departments has
made some notable contributions to
the literary output of the year; and
yet l am not aware of any one book
in any one of them of transcendent or
epoch-making value like Darwin's
Descent of Man" some fifty years
ago I can only say that, as far as
my observation goes, a good general
average has been maintained.
