women.
Among women the proportion of supe
rior minated individuals is even larger.
Says Prof. Johnson:
"Some Of these have had their chance
of marriage reduced by going to women g
colleges, others through engaging in pre-
eminently feminine occupations, such as
the teaching Of children, yielding meager
opportunities to associate with men, or
others through living in those cities that
have an undue proportion Of women. Then
there are, besides these, superior women
who, because they are brought up in fam
lilies without brothers or brother IS friends,
are SO unnaturally shy that they are un-
able to become friendly with men, how
ever much they may care to. There are
still others who repel men by manner OF
extreme self-repression or coldness, some
times the results Of parents or teachers
over-zealous efforts to inculcate modesty
and reserve, things valuable in due degree
but bad in excess. ~
Single Standard of Morals.
More drastic methods must be used with
writer If the superior women are to
marry, the superior men must be brought
up to the mark, and they must be induced
to do nothing that will lower them in the
ewes of the best of the other sex. Prof.
johnson condemns the too severe stand
ards that are being discussed nowadays.
He says:
"Let us not take that ambiguous shib-
boleth, the single standard Of morals, to
mean a general sex strike. This is
too extreme. . Such an unforgiving and
uncompromising position cannot be ap-
proved, because it leads very large num-
Der of women into celibate lives, with
serious result In addition it increases the
temptations Of the men left unmarried.
These extremists must remember that it
is hard to get men to marry at even
normal rate, as current statistics abund-
antly prove Therefore, the threat of
sex strike will never enforce chastity. Slow
and hard as it is, we must content our
selves to build up a sounder moral basis by
better attested methods.
Interpretation Of wifehood and
motherhood by misguided feminists must
cease, and greater honor and appreciation
must be meted out to mothers, in order to
more than compensate for the recognition
that women earn in rival occupations.
Women should properly be permitted to DO
any work they wish, not incompatible with
their well-being; but greater honor and
esteem is due those who have not shirked
the paramount function and responsibilities
of motherhood"

means we must allow students to specialize
earlier. IF there is need Of limiting the
number Of candidates, let us have compe-
titive entrance examinations. We must
have our superior men marrying earlier,
even at some cost to their early efficiency.
The high efficiency of any profession can
be more safely kept up by demanding
minimum amount of continuation work in
afternoon, evening, or seasonal classes,
laboratories, or clinics. No more graduate
fellowships should be established till those
now existing carry stipend adequate for

The German Army's
War Rule Textbook

Every student of the European war,
already convinced in his own mind that
the German army has deliberately car
rled out military policy of "frightful-
ness" will find his Views fully confirmed
in the pages of The War Book of the
German Staff Mcbride, Mast &: Co., New
York;, which has been translated from
the German by Prof j. II. Morgan an
English writer, who also critically dis
cusses this set of military regulations on
tho other hand, every other student of
the war, who Is convinced in his own mind
that the German army has been sadly
maligned. will find In the volume con-
tlrmaton of his belief 1t all depends
upon the point of view. In other words,
the book proves anything or it proves
nothing. To the English author the COL
lated war rules Of the German staff offer
convincing evidence that the charges of
brutality and lawlessncss made against
the Invaders OF Belgium and France are
absolutely true. But it's Just as easy
10 believe that the German staff has
followed, in the main, the generally ac-
ccpted rules of war. and has shown no
intention of violating either the spirit
or the letter of those rules. The publica-
tion, therefore, while Interesting. is by no
means so important a contribution to the
literature of the war as the translator
seems to believe

Seeing the
Unknown Country

To the man and woman with healthy
ideals, the old-tIme religions conception
OF heaven as a city paved with pearl and
people with angels twanging harps is
more tiresome than alluring Coningsby
Dawson. who emerged from comparative
obscurity with THE Garden Without
Walls" not long ago offers those who
detest harps and had rather tread grass
than pearl, charming paradise, a lovely
broad green country, for their heaven, In
his little book, THE Unknown Country

panY.
There is an unusual ethereal tone in
the whole story. The love element is
built upon the love OF man for his lit
tie sister. The girl Is misty, unreal, and
the man tells OF their sacred beautiful
days together as though he had dreamed
them. When the girl goes away from
him into the Unknown Country, she
seems to take her brothers spirit with
her. and presently he is permitted TO
follow her, 10 spend one day there, one
day in the Unknown Country where he
discovers a beautiful secret: that when
mems bodies go TO sleep, their souls
cross the border to the Unknown Coun-
try. and recover all they have lost, and
gain all they have hoped for that is

Allan Quatermain Again

Some pages from the mid-career OF
Allan Quartermain, Macumazahn. the
Great Hunter. are recorded in the exciting
narrative called by II. Rider Haggard
ALLAN and the Holy Flower" (Longmans,
Green & Co, New York;. On every
page is an adventure, in every adventure
a thrill.
Sir Rider has not been sparlng of i'm
agination In this latest recounting of the
richly and repletely romantic experiences
Of his famous hero. Incident Is piled on
incident, glowing description outvles de-
scription, plausible detail buttresses i'm
probable event. Indeed. in the engrossed
attention gained by the striking initial
episodes and retained by the adventurous
sweep of their development credibility Is
lost sight of-or, expressing 1t in another
way. the story seems real, thanks to the
peculiar traits of narration familiar to
readers of she" king Solomon
Mines" and the long list OF QuartermRin
books, ending last year with Marie"
which, curiously enough, had to deal with
the beginning OF MacumaZahns career
Little actualznE items of detail, obvious
surety in matters of local color, unex-
pectedly apt characterizing touches. the
quaint delicious philosophy of men OF
action these are the tricks which make
the latest Quartermain novel, like It's
predecessors, very real these and the
fact that pervasive of all is personality
of that of the Great Hunter himself
In this book are woven the quest OF
an English orchidst for a wonderful
cyprlpedium worshiped by an African
tribe and the patient search OF an Ameri-
can clergyman for his wife and child,
torn from their mission home by Arab
slave traders a score of years before.
AS the mIssioner's wife in that period
had become high pr!estess of the Holy
Floor, the Intervening motifs and action
Of good plot are apparent. 1t is de-
veloped with all the authors ingenuity;
indeed In few other OF the romances Is
Allan gifted with such resource or
course too, there is n climatic grand
fight but in none other Is there a braver
battle than that against the Arab horde
at the gate of the capital of Pongo-
land. 1t loses nothing by comparison
with the great clash OF the Impls In
king Solomon's Mines or the wonder
ful fight on the stairs at ZuYendis, where
Allan's career ended.

About Fathers and Mothers

Felix says If there are so many wise
books about the child there ought to be
at least one about fathers and mothers,
and so Felix Tells It." Lucy Pratt au-
thor of Ezekiel" has arranged Felix
Tells It" rI, Appleton & Coz into a dozen
simple yet rather startling incidents. told
by a grave ten-year-old boy, who deter
mines to tell things about fathers and
mothers that are really true. with no
attempt to analy2e or philosophiZe Felix
points out some sorry parental faults by
simply telling OF things that really hap
pen. misunderstanding parents who bruise
their chldren's souls by rushing into
dreams and fancies and little hopes with
suspicious feet are clearly depicted.
And there is an innocent broadside fling
at those confusing unjust fathers and
mothers who crlticise and scold and COM
mand out of sheer irritablencss and for
no reason that their children can under
stand. Felix has sly shot for his fathers
vanitles and his mothers inconsistencies;
shot that might well go home in many
parental breast.
Several of his chapters are pathetic,
and one or two of them are droll. The
Mother of the Big Family Is n lovely
touch, and Peaty a heroic little ragamuf.

groundwork.

repetitions might become tiresome were

pose of the child's motive.

"Are We Ready?"

H. d. Wheeler as author of Are We
Ready7" CHoughton Mifnin Company,
Boston, harbors no illusions as to the i'm
munIty Of the United States from attack
by a powerful foreign adversary, nor does
he mince words In warning the country
Of It's alarming state of unpreparedness
for such catastrophe
With a swift pen he pictures the dis
aster of great war; the defeat of the
American fleet, landing of troops on
American soil, confusion and panic IN
our inadequate system of defense, defeat
OF our meagre army, and the inevitable
capture of New York city.
But Are We Ready7" offers much more
than mere suppositlon, for the author
is convincing when he discusses the rea-
sons for our inferior position as a mill
tary and a naval power. He shows
thorough understanding Of the political
aspects Of the situation. and the fact that
his Views are lndorsed by leading army
experts leaves no reason to doubt that
they are the right ones.
Mr. Wheeler's style Is terse and vigor-
ously direct and his word pictures vivid.
Are We Ready?" is a bitter dose for
American readers but one calculated TO
cure their dangerous compacency.

style is a matter of little Importance
when n certain effect is sought. Gertrude
Stein knows this we'll when she merely
sketches her "Three Lives" CJohn Lane,
New York; There is spirit in the
method with which she tells us of the
= lives of three simple souls. and by this
spirit. which comes from an instructive
feeling toward her subjects. Miss Stein
accomplishes more than she could by
any rhetorical or academic style" Take.
for instance, this passage:
1T was very hard for jeff Campbell
to make all this way of doing. right
inside him. II JEFF Campbell could not
be straight out and real honest, he never
could be very strong inside him. Now,
Melantha, with her making him feel, al
ways, how good she was and how very
much she suffered in him, made him al
ways go SO fast then, he could not be
strong then, to feel things out straight
then inside him. Always now when he
was with her, he was being more, than
he could already yet, be feeling for her,
Always now, with her. he had something
inside him always holding in him, always
now, with her, he was far ahead of his
own feeling"
try to analyze this from the point
of view Of good English" construction
II would seem incomprehensible, But ar
alyze 1t from the viewpoint of effective
ness, character picture and feeling, and
there can be no doubt OF the end accom-
plished. There is a picture of an emo
tional situation before us which arouses
q deeper understanding and interest than
could be done by the very best of con-
ventional English.
To the willing reader of Three Lives"
each sketch means the acquaintance of
NAs.Es ,rNN ~
feelings and happenings. We go through
all the intlmacies of Good Anna's' soul.
Physically and spiritually she stands be-
fore us unmasked. We see all her strug-
giles with other humans. Her simple
life passes on automatically, with no
events of worldwide Importance to give
US thrills" We pass with her through
the changes which life brings, and finally
sit with her in the hospital in her last
illness. And we weep when that simple
soul is no more. We have known Good
Anna in all her human weakness, ami
we have loved her as Miss Stein herself
loved her.

a mass OF detail, but when these lives
are over-as all lives must be over some
day-we have learned to understand pas

dom recognize in ourselves, much less in
others.
We cannot read these lives without
thinking and sensitive minds. We must
study the lines, the colors, the directions
and. above all else. the spirit OF the
author. The mind must be keen and
alert. For the blur which this futurist
in writing at first creates cannot be clear
ed until we are willing to bring the
thought and intelligence 10 its interpre-
tation which we needed when examining
