THE UNIVERSITY PRESS.

WEARS ago. we are told, the Harvard Ldmpo0n
i printed some undergraduate amusing
scheme for fixing a telescope in an upper room OF
Weld so that it would be possible to look down into
the printing office in the basement OF University
Hall and read examination papers as they were
being set up. Nowadays, if we are not mistaken,
the scheme wouldn't work. A modest shop for
printing examination papers and the like has de-
yeloped into publishing business in a building OF
its own and with gross annual receipts of nearly
100000
One of the most attractive sights at Princeton
now is building of stone. Tudor Gothic in style'
ON four sides of little quadrangle. This Is the
new home of the Princeton University Press, made
possible principally by the generosity OF CHARLES
SCRIBNER The composing room, with windows on
four Sides is high and vaulted and opens on green
grass open spaces-regular country stuff.
Yale. too, has its University Press, an important
business enterprise; Columbia, the University OF
Chicago. In 1914 Harvard, Yale and the Unlver-
sity of California joined to open offices at $50 Madl-
son avenue, New York city, to supply the New York
trade with their books.
Several wears ago scientist turned over to the
Harvard University Press technical work which,
because of its limited scope had been declined by
various publishers. Some 5000 copies of this book
have since been sold and the author finds himself
frequently recognized, here and there all over the
limited States in his travels as "the man who
wrote the book on -
This instance is simply one of a number showing
the field existing for the university press uni
versty press can, does and should subordinate the
making of money to other ends. What it puts
first is the publication of books which other pub
Fishing houses could not afford to undertake, owing
to the narrowness of profit, but which add per-
ceptibly to the available body of knowledge, which
bring reputation to the author and publisher,
which create new reading public in a special sub
ject.
A good university press may be as valuable an
I'D, ertisement to college a crackajack football
team-and may make as much money.

TWO SPECIAL BOOKS.

EST some may have gained the idea that our
~ list of The Best of Their Kind is designed
wholly for fiction, we draw attention to the in
clusion in it this week of ALEXANDER WooIdcoTT's
book, The Command Is Forward, collection Of
stories that appeared in the American Expedi-
tionary FORCES newspaper, the Stars and Stripes
Our list is for everything in the way of reading
that is Of the best for example, if some one should
come along, with book anthropology compar-
able with FABRE's books on insects we should in
clude it forthwith, as they say.
Now here are two books that certain people ought
to know about: The Story of the Rainbow Dipi-
sion, by RAYMOND S. ToMPKNs, reported in these
pages ON September 7. This book is, as we said
then, "the best narrative of division of the A. E.
F. that has been published" and if list in pref
erence to it Mr.. WooLLcoTT's volume we do so be-
cause Of the broader appeal of The Command Is
ForWGrd The other book, Creative Criticism, by
j. E. SpTNGARN, an American, is really 1917
volume delayed in its debut The limited number
who interested by the theory of criticism Of art
music, poetry or whatever will find SPNGARN' s
book of the most violent interest. Some will love-
some will hate. He dynamites most of the accepted
stuff, such as iambc pentameter and BRANpER
MATTHEwss dramatic museum. We say he's ex-
citing-if you like that sort Of thing.

PIERRor AND THE GENDARME.

BY William Griffith
HERE is gendarme in my heart,
A. A funny fellow,
Who clubs my passions,
Wears a grin,
And says my rations,
Taste like sin;
And roughly taking me apart, n..
Denounces me
And tronnces me
For being blue instead of yellow
For being blue instead of yello,c
Oh me, oh myi
just because
Laws are laws,
Shall laugh or shall sigh,
And observe them or go blindf
Never mind

That this gendarme is queer and quaint

As they are, 1850. 49,
Hence he misses when he swings 49,
With club meant less for me,
1t may be,
Than for others who are far -.4
Less deserving of his clubbing
And his drubbing
Than a painted human sigh,
Such as 1.
Yet he clubs me
And he drubs me,
And he dubs me

Indeed, 1t was not long after this
that the private made his last guess.
OF course he guessed wrongly. and
of course he at once became an orna-

summon his Chief Steward.

You'll be as cross as a griffin to-

His majesty made no answer to
this remark. and the Chief Steward
led Dorothy through another door,
way into long hall. from which
several plain but comfortable sleep
ing rooms opened. The little girl
was given the first room and the
Scarecrow and Tiktok the next-al-
though they never slept-and the
Lion and the Tiger the third. The
Sawhorse hobbled after the Steward
into a fourth room. to stand stiff1y
in the center Of II until morning.
Each night was rather a bore to the
Scarecrow, Tiktox and the Sawhorse;
but they had learned from expert
ence to pass the time patiently and
quietly. since all their friends who
were made Of flesh had to sleep and
did not like to be disturbed. "
When the Chief Steward had left
them alone the scarecrow remarked.

II am in great sorrow over tho
loss Of my old comrade. the Tin
Woodman. We have had many
dangerous adventures together. and

Second Visit of Reigning Monarch to America

Retro. chamberlain Of the emperor;
Senior Facedo and a single dame
d'honneur with the empress, besides
servants.
Before going to Washington to pay
his visit to President Grant. Dom Pc
dro made tour Of the middle and
western states, leaving the, empress in
New York, where she enjoyed sight
seeing and received society every aft
ernoon between and 4.
The tastes of the old emperor and
King Albert are similar. When the
emperor arrived at Washington he
was driven directly to the Arlington
Hotel, where he registered as the
Due de Braganza. his family name.
After attending services at st. Mat
thew's Church. he visited the Capitol
and spent the evening at the National
Observatory with the late Prof. New =
comb. He spent some time at the
Smithsonian Institution, where he
went for his first visit before break
fast. On the following day he was
presented to President Grant at the
White House, where he was received
IN the blue room. After talking to the
President and Secretary Fish, Dom
Pedro was taken into the red room.
where Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Fish and Mrs.
Fred Grant were waiting. The visit
was informal and pronounced by Dom
Pedro most delightful. Some days
later. when the empress visited Wash
ington with her husband, she was re-
ceived in the same simple manner.
There was no reception at the Capt.
toll. such as distinguished guests now
receive. The emperor was shown every
honor, but all was as simple a. he
wished. 1t was the industries Of the
country and the commercial progress
which interested him most.
The official reception as planned fol
tho King and Queen Of Belgium will
be the most stately and ceremonious
ever given in America. and while the
state in which the royal visitors will
received will be more foreign than II
the custom here. 1t will not be empty
but will have the whole hearted wei
come Of the entire nation.

In 1t was blood relative Of his.
To pass the buck to johnson, tho
story is put in his mouth just as he
tells it.:
"A number of years ago we were
bound for a state convent ton out in
Washington. On tho train were a
great number Of poker players and

OF the old school. who desired to sleep
THE poker game ran well into the
night ana the players made SO much
noise that the old politician could
not sleep. so no got up, slipped into
his shoes. coat. hat and shirt, and
came into tho smoker to watch the
play. He evidently forgot to put on
his trousers. or thought he would
slip into them later.
THE game was very Interesting,
however. and It fascinated the poll
tician. 30 before any one realized It
we had rolled into the convention
city, 1t was broad daylight.
"of course. every ono imme diately
reached for gripsacks and made .
rush for tho door. The politician,
minus his trousers. was in the lead. .
When the crowd caught sight of
him. naturally It began to applaud
loudly. Never before in history had

prepared. 80 az soon az the applause
