There is a small handful Of Russians
who hold with the prevailing American
opinion. They are unaware of the proc
ssses through which nations develop.
They seem to be ignorant of the funda.
mental principle that all nations have
the kind Of government for which they
are fitted, and that as they qualify them
selves for different kinds Of government
those kinds manifest themselves. 1t Is
as foolish and futile to denounce the
acorn because 1t is not an oak as to de-
nounce Russia because ~ IS an autocracy
Just emerging from that primitive sys.
tenn Of government. The fact which all
students of the development of the race
should note with unfeigned Joy is that 1t
b Emerging.
Such students wilt welcome the publi-
sauon In English Of q history Of modern
Russia by Russian who understands
that Rome was not built between twilight
ana dark. Such history has been pre-.
pared by Alexander Kornilov. who IS a
professor in the Politechnicon Of Peter
The Great in Petrograd, one of the most
popular lecturers in that great school.
II Is bascd on the lectures which he has
= oeen delivering to his classes. AS he is
4 liberal. he is in sympathy with the as.
piratons Of the educated Russians. AS
ne is attached to State school. his ut.
tsrances have the liberation. II not the
support, Of the ruling classes. This means
tnat he is not a revolutionist in disguise,
out an earnest seeker after the truth of
history. He has brought to his task a
Judicial mind and the spirit of a consci'
entious investigator. rather than the tenn
per Of an agitator. The second paragraph
OF his Introductory chapter Is most IL
Eliminating. for in it he says:
In order to orient ourselves in the
process of a nations evolving life. par
ucularly In that stage of the process In
which We are to act, We must clearly
conceive this process by studying all
the circumstances amidst which It IL
taking place. And one can know the
circumstances Of the evolutionary
process Of any human society naturally
oy learning history.
Further light is thrown on Professor
Aornilov's intellectual temper by his
statement that ',at present It is beyond
dispute that the State power exists fol
the people and not the people for the
state power" theory In striking con
trast to the extreme Prussian view that
tne State Is to be considered first and tina

spected only 80 far as they do not inter
tere with the supreme rights of the State

Romance for Youngsters

This story for both boys and girls will
take them away from the conventional
school or sports fiction. and. while enlighten-
ing them as to an early period of American
history, will provide an abundance Of
healthy entertainment. The "long journey"
is taken by family of immigrants from
South Germany to the Mohawk Valley In
New York in the days of good Queen Anne.
The customs and chronicles of that far-off
period are accurately related and the fic-
tional phase is well handled.
