"DemOcracy and the Nations"

Liberty, democracy and information
alism are three world ideas, or move
ments, which have special significance
at the present time of a world cata-
clysm. Democracy and the Nations"
by j. A. Macdonald, editor of the
Toronto Globe, is dedicated to those
who care for these three political con-
ceptions of government.
Mr.. Macdonald's purpose in writing
this book was to set forth three ideas
conceived and presented as in the
lives of men and in the history of ma
tions."
First, "Liberty-the right to will
and to choose-is fundamental to
moral quality in personal character.
Second. "DemOcracy-the right of
free people to govern themselves
is the condition of national freedom.
Third, "Internationalism- or
ganlzation of free nations into an in
ternational partnership, each with its
place in the sun and all under just
laws enforced by the common will
is the social consummaton of liberty,
democracy and fraternity in the world
community of free nations
Mr.. Macdonald presented these ideas
before in editorial articles in the Globe
and in addresses before Canadian and
American audiences. Now they are
given in five compact chapters. North
Americas world idea, as taught by the
United States and Canada, is empha-
sized.

erton. probably Americas most talent
ed novelist, has turned her acknowl-
edged craftsmanship to the regener-
alton of the story of crime.
Mrs. Balfame" is a detective story
without a detective. 1t is a love story,
two or three love stories, in fact, all
strange and disappointing-the love
of a man and woman for Mrs. Bal
fame and the love of still another
woman for the man 1t is a queer
mixup. No wonder the reader is in
doubt TO the very end.
Mrs. Atherton strikes blow at the
methods of that journalism which per
secutes an innocent woman merely
because apparently no one else is to
blame for the crime and it must have
some new development in the case.
And the hardened reportorial con-
science eases itself with the thought
that. even if she were proved to be
guilty, hardly a possibility existed
that she would be sent to the chair.
Mrs. Balfame is accused of murder
ing her husband, whom she had
planned to kill and whom she had ev-
cry provocation for killing but whom
she did not kill. How the mystery
was finally solved is best told by
Mrs. Atherton.

chemistry in the HOme.'

Two textbooks just off the Ameri-
can Book Company Press are striving
to give to high school pupils in read
able way the elements of science.
Chemistry in the Home by
Henry T. Weed, head of the science
department of Manual Training High
School. Brooklyn, n. Y, is "the pro-
duct of an effort to meet the needs of
students who elect chemistry early
in their high school course. Much
theory is omitted, and constant effort
has been made to keep the language
simple. 1t is the result of many trials
and much elimination from an over
crowded field of subject matter"

"Tbe shepherd OF the North"

Have you enjoyed the charming per
sonality of the good parson and HUI
COS bishop in Les Miserables?' You
will find the shepherd in Richard Au'
merle Maher's shepherd of the
North" no less pleasing, for he be-
longs to the same class of big-hearted
followers of Christ.
The field covered by the book, the
Adirondack country, is not new one
and the general plot of the story is
old. but there is a freshness of express
sion that gives it unusual interest. In
describing the mountain scenery, and
especially the forest fire. the author
displays power of observing details
and giving them adequate expression.
But the greatest part of the book Is
the last, where thesufferings of a gull
ty soul are told in true dramatic style.
Jeffrey Whiting seems alive before
us. He suffers as we perhaps have
suffered. And the bishop helps him as
the ideal bishop would.

"RObert's Rules of Order Revised"

Probably no parliamentary manual
has been so popular as Roberts
Rules of Order" 1t has become a sort
Of ''Hoyle" for deliberative assemblies.
Since General Henry NJ Robert of the
United States Army first issued his
Rules" in 1876, just forty years ago,
more than half million copies have
been sold.
The new edition, called Roberts
Rules Of Orders Revised" follows the
same plan as the earlier editions. The
object of the revision and enlargement
is to make the rules even more definite
than they were.

"OId stories of the East"

While the Bible is read the world
over by persons who are concerned
mainly with its religious significance.
it is viewed, as a rule, from the stand
point of literature by the scholar only.
To remedy this error and to bring the
stories of the Old Testament before
the people. with emphasis placed on
the literary style, James Baldwin has
written a volume" ,"Old Stories of the
East"
The author has retold the stories
that give a short history of the He
brew race and of the life of that
people down to their greatest pros
perity.

"FiSherS OF Bows"

William Mccormick believes in get
ting at the boy through the gang, rath-
er than getting at the gang through
the boy. He explains why in his
Fishers of Boys" Mr.. Mccormick is
a fisher of boys himself, and the state
ments he makes in his books are
backed by years of practical expert
ence.
The book is an informal and un-
conventional discussion of the boy
problem. 1t tells why the church and
Sunday school so often fail in their
efforts to reach the boy, why the forces
of evil have been so much more sue
cessful in enlisting his support

THOUGHTS FROM
NEW BOOKS
influence OF Companions

IF John is ambitious to be an angel
and with the angels stand, it is mere
ly because he recognizes in the other
angels his cronies, Mike, Pete and
Bill. When John declines to be an an
gel or to have any part or parcel in
such sentimental longing, it is because
he is certain none of the gang will be
there. And he fears that if they see
him with harp and crown they will
giggle and sneer and say things, per-
haps throw them"

the second part to the consideration
of the reasons for studying such sub
jects as history and English and an
analysis of the vocations which a STU
dent may pursue in after life.
Mr. SANDWICHES aim in these surveys
is to give the student real interest in
his work and to enable him to select
his studies rightly, for he holds that
without interest in a subject one can
not study efficiently.

PAY THEM" DEBTS.

There are many people sneaking
around who have been excusing
themselves for some time, and try
ing to quiet their consciences because
they had not paid honest debts
which they owe making the plea that
times have been so hard that they
were unable to do so. This has serv-
ed as kind of excuse, and as a pail
ative, but it has failed to work. They
are not able to look the people whom
they owe squarely in the face, and
they usually avoid them when it is
possible to do so. The only way that
they will ever feel right will be when
they do the fair and square thing.
1t is a good thing that dishonor
makes people feel sneakish and rob-
them OF the greatest pleasure of life
that of having a good conscience. No
man who is dishonest ca nejoy him
self as he should. 1t is a ghost that
haunts him, and that will not down
at his bidding. No doubt this causes
many a person to come across and
square himself with the world. 1t Is
well that it does.
But, we started out to suggest. as
times are good now and money plen-
tiful, why should not every fellow
pay what he owes and place himself
in line with that which is right be-
tween man and man? 1t will be a
a good thing for you to do it not only
for the sake of the people whom you
owe, but for your own sake Get at
ii right away. and put yourself once
more In the line of respectability.
Make haste, while times are good,
and while you are still in the land of
the living. You can not afford to
live or die with honest obligations to
your fellow man resting upon you.
Pay them debts. Pay them right
away. You will rest better by day
and by night. 1t will make all the
world a glad song to you. Try IL
