There is one practical advantage In
the adoption OF the short story" as
the subject of college courses in Eng
fish composition in that when the stu
dent, in accordance with the modern
Squeers methods Of instruction, is di-
rected to go out and write one the
product Is more easily handled by him
self and his instructor than II he were
told TO write an epic or a novel. The
reverse of the medal Is found in the
temptation to which young instructors
are subjected TO spin out rather
threadbare topic into lectures that I'LL
out the college year and perhaps to
publish them, as Carl II. Spargo of the
University OF Chicago does IN The Art
OF the Short Story" Charles Scribner's

sound literary taste to the task of ana =
Tying and d!ssccting something that
hardly exists and To explaining To him
self and to his readers. after the manner
OF the concert programmes. now and
why they should enjoy works Of genius.
His directions may increase the number
OF contributors 10 the MAGAZINES, but
the real writer's OF stories short or long,
AXE other poets, are born and not made
Ia colleges.
An interesting explanation Of the
manner III which moving pictures are
taken, OF the appliances employed and
OF the scientific principles involved has
been written by Frederick A. Talbot In
practical Cinematography and Its APP
pl!cations' William Heinemann: J. Il.
Lippincott Company. Although the
author does touch on the theatrical side
OF the art, particularly on the expert

the aesthetic quality, the subject he deal IS
with is the art OF photographing moving
objects. He tells how 1t is applied 20
wild animals, to microscopic subjects
to photographs and so on and explains
! matters Of theory more than the prac,i.
ca! manipulation. Though an English
book. the prices are given in United
states currency as well as in British
figures. The most Interesting part o.
the book is that telling OF the expert
ments Of investigators to extend the
application OF the art and to secure
Improvements.
The difficulty with q primer or any
condensed statement is that brcvity and
succnctness generally call for a dog
matte tone that sometimes rouses op-
position. In "A Primer Of Politica,
Economy" "a. c. mcclure and Com

s!tions There is hardly one OF these

While some are Of so disputable a char
acter that small libraries OF polemcal
literature have grown up around them.
While In these regions, for instance.
the statement Gold makes the best
money may be accepted with euua-
nimity. there may be marked differences
OF opinion regarding statements like "A

The change OF name that frequently

particularly annoying In the case Of
writer's who have achieved fame. 1t Is
as Sir John Lubbock that the late Lord

interested in natural history, and that
name should appear in some way on the
title page Of the seventh edition of Pre-
