THE NEW BOOKS
"The UndYing Fire"

"The Undying Fire." H. G. Wells
sixteenth novel, is book with a pur-
pose. 1t strives to show that accom-
plishmsnt by man is circumscribed
only by the amount of his faith and
courage. Man must fight and move
forward because there is some God
given thing in his heart that impels
him."
The novel is modelled on the ideas
of the book of Job. The author re-
CARDS all the world as Job, and in
the Prologue in Heaven" Satan is
again given permission by God to try
man to the uttermost to "see if he is
indeed no more that a little stir amidst
the slime, fuss in the mud that sig
nifies nothing"
In the character of the schoolmas-
ter, Job Huss, God is again vindicated
for his confidence in the yearning of
mankind for something higher and
nobler. Huss passes through a re-
markable series of sufferings of body
and mind, but despite these, and not
withstanding the tempting, misleading
counsel of voluntary advisers, he
stands firm. "Unreasoned faith and

Art Study a Pleasure

A western teacher who realizes the
value of knowledge of art to future
citizens, has introduced the study of
pictures into the regular school, work
in a unique way.
She has her class study some of the
great masterpieces such as Millet's
"Gleaners" or "The Angelus" or Bre-
toms "Reaper" and then select MEM
bers of the class who they think best
represent the figures in the pictures.
Costumes are made which resemble
the ones in the pictures, and the fig
ures are posed in landscapes also r
sembling as nearly as possible those
shown in the pictures. A member OF
the class who has a kodak then takes
the pictures and they are compared
with prints of the original pictures by
the great masters.
Some of the pictures are so cleverly
initiated that it is almost Impossible to
tell at place which is print Of the
original and which was posed by the
students. This method of teachin.
children to enjoy pictures will lay a
basis for their future appreciation Of
things beautiful and thus enable them
to become better citizens. We need
more teachers, who, like this one. will
encourage children to study and ap-
preciate works Of art.
In this busy mechanical age, when
the main idea in life seems to be to
teach children how to make money,
we need a balancing force. America
is the greatest mechanical nation in
the world today. We are proud of our
great inventions and tremendous me-
chanical devices which make life
easier and the world more comforta-
BILE place in which to live, yet world
with nothing but machinery in it
would be rather dreary place.
Why can't we teach our children to
appreciate beautiful things. so that
when they become men and women
they may make the world place of
beauty as we'll as place of comfort
