official notice that summer has ar
rived. Senator James X. Vardaman

does not believe in rushing the

American Authors
Arnoa Rronaan AIcntt.

Amos Bronson Alcott was born at
Walcott, Conn, in 1899. He eventually
became one of Americas most noted
philosophical writer's. In 1884 he
opened. a seminary in Boston of which
Miss Peabody gave an excellent and
spicy account in her work A Record
of MIR. Alcott's School.
Opposition to his methods caused
his withdrawal to Concord, where he
became the friend or Emerson, Tho
reau, Hawthorne and Charming, and
made dean Of the Concord School
OF Philosophy.
In 1912 he visited England, where he
met Carlyle, who described him as
the GOOD Alcott. with his long, lean,
face and figure, with his gray, worn
temples and mild, radiant eyes; all
bent on saving the world by a return,
to acorfls and the golden age.
Upon his return tt America he at
tempted to establish a community.
'Fruitlands,a near Harvard, but the
PROJECT failed. Thereafter he gave a
series OF lectures, or conversational 4,
visiting the principal cities Of the
country for this purpose. Alcott was
q Ne~oplatonist, his central doctrine
being the lapse OF the soul from I,olf-
ness.
In 1870 he wrote Orphic Sayings: III
1868, Tablets: In 1879. Concord DAYS.
in 1877, Table Talk; in 1881 he began

MasefieId and Gibson.

In the opinion Of DR.. Washington
GLADDEN., the two names of greatest
significance among the twentieth CEN
fury poets of England are John Mase-
field and Wilfrid Wilson Gibson. In
the course Of q. lecture which DR.. Glad
den recently delivered on poetry in his
series entitled Literature and Life, he
dealt in some detail with the work Of
these two writer's.
"Dr. Masefleld's poetry" to quote
from this portion of his address, "is
sufficiently realistic. The, pictures of
the life Of the common laborers are
something more than photographic;
they show us the soul of things as no
photograph can do. They are largely
written in dialect, but the dialect is
not created by bad spelling; it is a
reflection of the minds Of he 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 way
ward will through all the depths of his
debauchery. He shows that he is
trampling on his better self; his de-
graduation is the fruit Of sheer wilful-
ness. He shows us how the evil cul-
inmates in his life; we watch his COM
FUNCTIONS and the struggles at the
turning point, and we share with him
h joy Of victory over. the coarser
fself.. Begbie's tales Of the Twice-Born
contain nothing more striking and
nothing more really authentic. than
this narrative" 49,
In the discussion devoted to Gibson
DR.. GLADDEN. said, in part, Mr.. Glib
sons two volumes. with which I am
familiar. are Daily Bread and Fires.
The first is a collection of eighteen
little plays, with only. two or three. or
four characters in .each-all illustrat-
ing phases of the life of the common
people-miners. fishermen, furnace
men, farm hands. They are all purely
narrative, not didactic nor reflective
at all, not intended for the stage; they
give us the short and simple annals of
the poor. The hardships. struggles.
burdens, sorrows--the loves, hopes,
fears. problems, tragedies of the poor
est pe~ople-these are the. themes of
these little plays. There is no wrath
or bitterness in them, no arraignment
of existing social conditions, no revo-
~lutionary sentiment. The plays are
written in a peculiar, measure: the
lines are short and regular; there is
no rhyme. and no definite rythm, yet
they are rythmical; you feel the pulsa-
ton of the phrases.
"Mr. Gibson's Fires is a collection of
stories in yerse--ail dealing with the
life of the humber classes; ali reveal
ing the same insight into their living
conditions and the same sympathy
with their needs and their struggles.
There is much less of technical and
formal religion in Mr.. Gibson's poems
than in Mr.. Masefield's; but of the re-
ligion which enables US to identify our
selves with our fellows, to put bur-
selves in their places, and to love them
as we love ourselves, there is more in
these little books than In most that

Of Ralph Waldo Emerson. He died in
Louisa May Alcest.

Louisa May Alcott, the daughter OF
Amos Bronson Alcott, was born IN
Germantown. Pa, now a part OF Ph1l-
adelphia, in 1892.
She was a school teacher before
starting on her famous career with her
pen. Her earliest book. entitled
er Fables, was written and puolisned
in 1855, According to the critics OF the
day, it had little merit.
Her next effort was Hospital Sketch .
es, in 1858. which became more favor
ably known. This dealt with her own
experiences as a nurse during the Civil
war. Z.
The next was Little Women, in 1859,
which permanently established her
reputation and made. her famous as a
writer of readable and wholesome sto-
ries for young people. There became a
craze for Miss Alcott's books and her
work found a ready market. She was
hesieged by publishers for more of her
stories.
So in 1859 she wrote The Old-Fash-
toned Girl, and followed it up in 1871
with Little Men. which was scarcely
less popular than Little Women.
Aunt JOS Scrap Bag was written in
1872; Work, in 1873; Eight Cousines.
in 1874; Rose in Bloom, in 1876; Under
the Lilacs, in 1878; Jack and JILL In
1880.

HOME RULE SEEMS ASSURED.

Tine Irish home rule has been ad-
Sanced another step, the second read
ing Of the measure having been ac-
eoTnpllshed in the house Of
this week. The other formalities
necessary to its enactment should not
take more than a couple of months,
and the instalment Of Irish freedom
guaranteed by the bill, will, without
doubt, be operative by June 1. Before
this result is accomplished, however.
the measure must be put through the
committee, stage in the house and
formally passed there for the third
time.
The bill has already been rejected
~ the house Of Lords twice. and
under the parliament act if rejected
again, it goes to the king for his
signature. Unlike Americas president
the, kings veto exists only in name.
He Is obliged to sign any bill that has
the approval Of. the cabinet. Con-
s~equently the success of the home rule
measure is now assured.
While no agreement between the
warning factions in parliament has
been reached, it is apparent that the
Ulster problem is in a fair way to
solution. Mr. Asquith's proposition to
permit a referendum In the northern
counties of Ireland. is as far as the
present liberal government in England
will go. The unionists demand a dis
solution of parliament, and an appeal
to the country on the whole PROPOSE
ton. AS home rule has been the fore
most issue in British elections for
twenty eight years. it is dihicult to
see what would be gained-except de-
lay--by the further p~rolongation Of
the controversy.
The truth Of the matter is that the
