On Teaching Light Reading.

4 few wears ago if one of our friends had asked
us TO suggest what light reading was we should
have said "Oh, Maupassants stories I suppose,
and Boccaccio certainly; Dickens's 'Pickwick Pa
ners' Charles Lambs Essays But why do you
ask
To-day one is hard put TO It for an answer For
nowadays what ne thought Of in youth as mere
frivolity is prescribed reading at our colleges.
Boccaccio and Maupassant figure there in the lect-
ures Of Professor Somebody on the history of ic-
ton Dickens and Lamb are important names in
the venerable Dr. WhOs-whos university exten-
sion course on English literature from the Death
Of Scott 10 the Recovery of Kipling And it IS an
nounced from England that Mr. A. G. Benson has
been given a Royal Society "Chair Of English Fic
ton"
Doubtless light reading was never precisely the
same tract of letters for all readers. The author
Of Pamela" did not find Joseph Andrews anus
ing and, in general Richardson's partlsans make
wry faces at the "grOssness' Of Fielding; just as
Fielding's admirers yawn at Richardson's al
legged morality. Yet the constituency which we
name "the reading public has pitched upon a Ger
tain general classification of books for secular
amusement-or had pitched before the departments
Of literature at our universities took TO making
work Of play. Do they include q. Henry and Mr..
I Dooey in their sylabi, one wonders?
When were small boys on Sundays we were
supposed to read only Sunday books" We got
therefore, more fun out Of a surrepttiOus hour
spent with Huck Finn or Tom Sawyer than we
ever had with these gentlemen from the Mississippi
on week days. They were light reading II
mother had come to us with pious face and had
reverently handed us the works of s. L. Clemens,
suggesting that We should, ont Of respect for the
day, read the Parable of the Jumping Frog" how
fiat that little chefG9VUrc would have tasted!
Isn't It time TO protest against light reading 5
decentralization? Already there IS a pedantry in
table talk even about the new fiction As things
stand, nothing is left but seed lists and the cata-
logues Of fishing tackle that you can read with per
feet confidence that you do it, not somehow for
'selfimprovement,' but because you like il. The
time has come FOR war to the knife upon all pro.
feSSors OF light literature!

A HOME APPEAL
The Legal Aid Society Urgently Need,
Support This Year.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: There is an old saying 20 the
effect that q man may be so far in the
forest that it Is impossible for him to
appreciate its beauties, his sight being
obscured by the trees. A fair Hpplica
tion OF that adage may be made to con-

pathies are going out TO such an extent

ferers as q result Of the war that We
are inclined 20 overlook suffering at

The Legal Aid Society, as a result OF
the war. is overwhelmed by those who
need advice and legal assistance, and is
unable to keep up with its work be-
cause Of lack OF funds. The public
does not properly appreciate the wort;
which this society is doing. That this
work is carried on with remarkable
economy is easily demonstrated. The
society has handled 460,S74 cases, at
an expense of SJ47,962. The average
cost of each case has been less than
81 10. This covers rent, salaries to
lawyers. clerks and bookkeepers, post
age and everything of the kind. For

Is TO see shat all. no matter how poor
or how oppressed, shall get Justice.
We care nothing for race, sex, color or

The Legal Aid Society deserves much

The Big Little Man.

Recruiting in England seems TO be proceeding
fairly well at present The fall Of Antwerp, like
the other setbacks Of the Allies, caused rush to
the recruiting stations, and the weekly average of
accepted volunteers is put at 25OCO. The new army
is unoflically stated to number well over 100000
men, leaving about 100000 needed 70 complete the
quota asked for by Lord Kitchener.
In the mean time a loud wall has arisen from
the little men who have been rejected for lack OF
height The five-foot-four men seize their pens to
write 10 the newspapers TO complain Of the injus-
tice How about Nelson and Napoleon? they ex-
claim. And hasn't Japan something of an army
and navy composed exclusively Of little men?
Welshmen arc especially loud in complaint One
recruiting officer remarks that at least 30 per cent

PITY the Innocent.

What might be termed belligerent nomenclature
has been sdded to England's troubles. Among tns
new arrivals in London are Alsace Lorraine Jones'
Kitchener Barry, John Jelicoe Walker ana LOU
vain Nichols These says THE London lines
have been added TO the registers which areauS
include George Bank Holiday Smith ana ohF
France Hendy White.
The course Of history has ever been reflected IN
christenings. We have had plethora Of George
Washngtons and Abraham Lincolns among the
negroes of the South, although our GettyspurgS
and Bull Runs have been few. However, since
the fashion Of preserving battlefcds and sieges to
memory by saddling their names on unohendins
babes has sprung up, shudder at what Will
happen when attention becomes focused on the
Russian campaign. Think Of the hours Przemysl

The Country Needs Naval Reserve

The organization of a national naval reserve "'
nroposed by Mr. Franklin d. Roosevelt ASsis'"H.
secretary of the Navy, should meet with genera
approval. As explained in another column oil 'niS S
issue. an organization is to be created OF oV'oVV
trained men. who would be available for service IL
case of emergency. The estimated cost OF S'ooVo "
wear for maintaining an organization OF TINS KIM
negligible compared with the benefits which wouiu
come from it.
The necessity for a reserve is the more apparent
when tho present condition Of the navy Is conS'u-
cred. As pointed out by Mr.. Roosevelt FEW gays
ago there is shortage of more than 1900 enllSteo
men in the navy, ships are inadequately manned
and many vessels have to be laid up for lack Oh
crews. While the organization Of tho proposed
naval reserve will not affect this condition in peace
times Il will at least give increased assurance OF
an adequate naval force in time Of need
