grave errors, such as credltlng Dr.

strsint all through the book, and an
absence of hysteria and oversentimen-
tally. Indeed, it is particularly well
written; simple, natural. and imbued
with truth. We might, il is true,
doubt whether SO wise and self-reliant
girl as Alix would so quickly and so
long delude herself with the notion
that she really loved a man so mani
testify unworthy of her as Hugh, and
there are those who will think that
the war is brought in somewhat need
lcSsly and with just little too much
emotion. But these are at worst
slight and pardonable blemishes on a
work of more than ordinary power

Atrocities at the Mines

The Macmillan Company.
Mr.. Sinclair here essays to do with
or for-the coal mines what he did
in a former work with-or for-the
Stockyards. He writes an elaborate
story, novel, or romance about them,
and in it he essays to expose gross
abuses in their management. Obvious
ly, his work is therefore to be judged
from two distinct and quite detached
points of view.
Considered purely as story, with
out regard for its sociological sgnif-

Miss Kelley has created an interest

young people, three men and three
women, enter into a compact not to
marry and TO perform their duty to
society by adopting a child and bring

pose they chose Eleanor. a little or
phaned girl from Cape Cod. After a
very amateurishly written beginning.
Miss Kelley develops her story with
skill and charm. Eleanor, the Cherry

are an amusing trio. Eleanor is bit
too cock-sure and perfect, as all her

Some Recent Fiction
American and European Novels
of Varying Types

Marcel Prevost's "Benoit Castain" is,
of all war stories, one of those which
reads most like recital Of actual facts
of record, though with all the charm
of imaginative romance. Arthur C.
Richmond's excellent translation Of II
is published by the Macmillans.
Hamilton Drummond's Greater Than
the Greatest" published by +. p. Dut-
ton g. Co., is a romance Of the thlr-
teenth century struggle between the
Pope and Emperor Frederick II (Hoh-
with an interesting plot,
though a little too much modern spirit
under medieval garb.

are particularly good work. Beulah,
as the modern woman sdrift and try
ing to find herself, is bit pa
thetic. As Eleanor grows to young
womanhood there is love story, with
complications, which all take flight be-
fore the conventional happy ending.
Just at the end Miss Kelley rises to
heights of fine writing.
This is a pleasing book Of the sort

This last is the view which Mrs.
Rinehart gives us in this delightful
story of a ten-years old Crown Prince.
1t is so full Of human nature that we
instinctively feel that royal person,
ages must, behind tho scenes, feel and
think and talk and act just as these
are represented as doing And when
on necessary occasion these persons
assume the formal and ceren'onious
guise of state figures, we see not masks
with men and women behind them, but
real, live men and women behind
masks; very different thing.

Here is a refutation of the complaint

Horace Greeley is reputed once to
have said that for New York news

was more important than murder in
Chicago. On the same principle, a
small book about a dog fight is doubt
less much more interesting to many
people than big book about the Why

the small book also contains a love

tainly depicted the play of primal

the would-be artist who had to write

not mistake it for a storm at sea. Miss
Brown does not have thus to label and

that they speak for themselves.

fact that there are too many large

FIRST INSTITUTE is
VERY PROFITABLE ONE
By M. H.


system is abreast of the times" So
educational leaders have said and so
shall 1t continue to be. The first
County institute to be held in the
state was held in Ordway the past
week. This institute was made pos
sible thru the cooperation of the
teachers, school boards and County
Superintendent Dalby. The work was
conducted chiefly by local talent and
the work as presented by them was
undoubtedly of immense value to all.
The lecture method was the system
of presenting the work. there follow
ing after each discourse, discussion
in which all participated. By this
method the teacher was able to pre-
sent and in large measure have
problems of vital interest solved.
County unity was one of the big
topics of the session and steps were
taken along this line which means a
greater future for educational work
in the county. Unity in athletics as
well as in intellectual pursuits was
the slogan. Sugar City and Ordway
are planning on big events in base
ball, tennis, basket ball and track.
Other schools are expecting to join
in.
Professor Sargent Of the State Ag-
ricultural college, was with the As
sociation and gave an illustrated lee
ture on Monday evening. He is an
expert in rural education and has
done great work in the state in con-
solidation Of rural schools. The
things presented by Professor Sar-
gent were truly revelation to those
who have not been so closely connect
/ ed with this work His pictures
demonstrated the marvellous trans
! formation which takes place when
the shack school houses are aband-
oned and the districts go together
in one consolidated school, thus CIV
| ing untold advantages to the grade
pupils and a full four year high
school course with all the modern
equipment, for the rural child leaving
the eighth grade. This has really
/ been accomplished. THE time of
the twentieth century farming con-
veniences and the nineteenth GEN.
tury school is passing away" We
must have the twentieth century
school system along with the other
good things. DR.. Sargent will be in
the county again during the coming
year and every one in the community
ought to look forward to real treat.
! The forty-four teachers of the
county who were enrolled feel that
the purpose of the institute. which
was to inspire every teacher in Crow
I ley county in this work for the COM
| ing year and to produce a greater
feeling of cooperation among the
teachers, was more than accomplish
ed This step alone is a big move
toward county unity because of the
interest manifested by all in a COM
mon cause.
