Blood Lust or Inspiration?

In a recent editorial in Collier
Weekly, Castillo, lieutenant of Ia
pata, called in Mexico, "The Attila
OF the South" was quoted as saying
mo, we shall not conhscate the
land; the government will buy it
from the owner and resell 1t to the
people,"
Golfers editorial comment on this
was:
IF the popular leaders in Mexico
are after as high a goal as this. it
Will be well worth While to disregard
the walls of the money lenders and
to let them fight 1t out. There is
no greater dream under heaven than
that of free people in a free land
This comment is particularly sig
nificant in the light of the announce
ment of the approaching publica-
ton of The Mexican People
Their Struggle for Freedom by
l.. Gutierrez de Lara and Edgcum
Pinchon doubleday, Page & Co ;
because the volume is dedicated to
just this task: Of~showing with its
historical basis that the one great
issue at stake in Mexico is the land
question; and that the only solution
is in Mexico itself.

MasefjeId and Gibson,

In the opinion of DIR. Washington
GLADDEN. the two names of greatest
significance among the twentieth
century poets of England are John
Masefield and Wilfrid Wilson Gibson.
In the course of a lecture which DR..
G 'adden recently delivered on poetry
in his series entitled Literature and
Life, he dealt in some detail with the
work of these two writer's. Mr..
Masefield's poetry" to quote from
this portion of his address, sis suffi-
GENTLY realistic. The pictures of the
life of the common laborers are me-
thing more than Photographic, they
show us the soul of things as no pho
tograph can do. They are largely
written in dialect. but the dia eet is
not created by bad spelling; 1t is a
reflection of the minds Of the
speakers. The Everlasting Mercy is
told by the hero, Saul Kane, and 1t
is told with the utmost explicitness;
this coarse, crude, lawless, brutal
creature let's us look into his heart,
and follow his hayward will through
all the depths of his debauchery. He
shows that he is trampling on his
better self; his degradation is the
fruit of sheer wilfulness, He shows
us how the evil eliminates in his
LIE; we watch his computations and
the struggles at the turning point,
and we share with him the joy OF
victory over the coarser self.

Sir sidney Lee on shakespeare.

Among the tributes to Shake
speare's genius called forth by the
celebration of the 350th anniversary
of his birth may be added that of
Sir Sidney Lee. the well-known
Shakespearean scholar and editor of
the Harper Shakespeare. His pre-
eminence, he says, lis recognized in
every quarter of the globe to which
civilized life has penetrated. All the
world over language is applied to
his creations that ordinarily applies
to beings of flesh and blood. Falstaff
and Shylock, Brutus and Romeo,
Ariel and Caliban are studied in al
most every civilized tongue as if they
were historice personalities, and the
chief Of the impressive phrases that
fall from their lips are rooted in the
speech of civilized humanity. Differ
ences Of national or racial tempera-
ment count for little or nothing in the
recognition of Shakespeare. 1t was
the Frenchman Dumas who gave
voice to the eulogy that is not likely
to be surpassed in pith or moment:
After God, Shakespeare has created
most. "

Chance.

"Chance," Joseph Conrads new
book, has created a great stir in Eng
land, where 1t is hailed as the greatest
work the famous seaman-w writer has
done. Doubleday, Page & Co. have
issued facsimile of the first page of
the manuscript in which it appears
that the original title of the story

The original discarded title was
almost as significant as the final one,
for it is with the strange explosives
of human character and destiny that
Mr. Conrad's story deals. 1t is the
tale of Captain Anthony, master of
the barque Ferndale loaded with a
cargo of dynamite, and of the wistful
Flora de Barral, daughter of the
great de Barral," a thin spirited swim
dler Against a background of sea
and sky and stars. Conrad shows how
the inscrutable hand of Chance makes
sport of men and women, setting them
athrill with intolerable pain and
pleasure.
"Chance" is a tragi- comedy of the
smallness of men in the hands of the
unpredictable. But the final touch of
genius comes in the ending of the
hook. where Conrad leaves loophole

French Marriages.

In her new book. MY First Years
as a French woman" (Scribner's),
Nine. Washington makes some in
teresting comments upon French
marriages. Here is her conclusions:
al think on the whole the arrange
marriages turn out as well as any
others. They are generally made by
people of the same monde, accustomed
to the same way of living. and the
fortunes as nearly alike as possible.
Everything is calculated The young
couple usually spend the summer
with parents or parents-in-law, in
the chateau, and / know some cases
where there are curious details about
the number of lamps that can be
lighted in the rooms of the young
couple. and the use of the carriage
on certain days. l am speakin" of
course. of purely French marriages. !"
But she rather intimates that the
young people are not so tractable in
these matters as they used to be
but that is a universal phenomenon
they are probably proportionate'y
more so than Americans.

A New Book BY DIR. MontessorI.

Extensive revisions and much new
material from the author have made
it impossible for Frederick A. Stokes
to publish "Montessori's own Hand
book" in April as announced. 1t will
be ready, however, early in May. The
Dottoressa's recent visit to the United
States made clear to her the need for
fuller and more explicit information
as to the best use of her sense train
ing material by those who are APP
plying her system in this country.
She wishes to correct the idea that
the materials are playthings which If
given out indiscriminately will per-
form the work of education auto
matically. The Handbook" is in
tended as a supplement to THE Mon
tessori Method"-not to take its place
in any sense, but merely to add such
information as will aid IN the class
