weather. In the South Sea Islands the

Many Of our teachers are leaving

and recreation in vnew Of the fact
that their salaries have been adj
vanced and in order to be better pre-
pared for the school term which
opens In September, teachers are
poorly paid at the best considing the
great task that is undertaken by
them. The one cry throughout our
country is better pay for the teach
ers. and this as 1t should be. Teach
ers are required to do their work
and to do this task. they must pre-
pare, and to prepare, they must have
lie means with which to do this.
Money is the principal means, then
come the equipments, such as books,
maps, charts, and all the facilities
known to the profession. Prepara-
ton is the requirement of the hour,
II ii was necessary for war, 1t Is
more necessary for the requirments
Of peace, for the victories Of peace
are greater than the victories won
in war, anr the triumph of demo-
cracy, means that the upward strug-
gle in the language of Prof. Miller,
has just begun. Many OF teachers
have prepared themselves under most
trying circumstances.
We shall mention one teacher
among others who psends a part
OF her salary every month In buy
ing equipments to advance her class
es besides taking a special course
herself, and the result is seen in
her work among her pupils, and this
teacher is no other than Miss Lii
liam Tucker, grade teacher. who
is specializing in the Palmer Method,
and along other lines. We are in
formed by our supervisor of music
and drawing that not only does Miss
Tucker make this sacrifice. but others
also In our schools.
IL has been our promise to speak
OF Miss SIM C. White for some time
past, but 1t has been delayed. When
we were In a position to know, we
found her an efficient and conscien-l
tious teacher whose work both in
language and number relation was
and standardized. and we so
reported it to the proper authority.
Mrs. White is q graduate Of the Nor
NAL department OF the Fisk Uniyer-
sity.
Miss Susie Baily's greatest eff
cheney lies 10 the thorough prepare
ton OF her work which has character
lied her as taking time by the fore
lock. Miss Easter has the repu-
tation that a few teachers can boast
Of and that is, she may leave her
room at any time, and the order will
remain the same as IL she were in
the ROOM Such is a remarkable
power. and this should be cultivated
by older teachers as well sas by
the younger teachers. Miss Stamps

There is good reason to be stirred by

range of achievement is wide A few
John Andrews, Stephen Vincent Benet
and Archiba d MacLeish, for instance
write like true poets, expertly, NOV
ihgly. Ihe average is naturally far
lower, Echoes are many and new
thought is rare. Yet there is sim
cerity Of effort and fine artistic de-
votlon throughout the whole volume
that speaks more loudly of the estate
OF poetry in America than many poetry
magazines.
Freshness of thought and the living
line are especially noteworthy in the
poems of Mr.. Andrews and Mr. Benet.
IF | Were a Pirate" is as vigorous
and appealing in content as it is in
genious verse. Coming from Mr.. An

much in the future. AS for Mr.. Benet
we are quite won to him, even by com
parlson with his more famous elder
brother, William Rose Bcnet, who, bv
the way, contributes an apologize to
this volume. He has many accents, the
Browning one most often, but always
his own salty matter, and a range of
technique rather appalling in q be-
ginner.
The volume itself is one more de-
lightful handful from the Yale Univer-

NicoIai Lenin
Eulogistic Biography
Of Bolshevik Premier

LFNIN: THE NAN AND HIS WORK BY
Albert Rhys Williams Scott s. Setter.
New York.
AS might be anticipated from his
previous writings and speeches, MIR.
Williams s biography of the Bolshevik
Premier is frankly and enthusiastical-
ly eulogistic. He gives a biographical
sketch of Lenin's life; and supplements
1T with anecdotes culled from ten
months of personal association with
the Bolshevik leaders in Moscow and
Petrograd. He appends extracts from
Arthur Ransome's Russia In 1919"
and from William Hard's account of
Raymond Robins experiences in Rus
sia, which appeared in "The Metropoli-
tan Magazine" last summer, and which
will soon be published in book form
by Harper & Bros. under the title
Raymond Robins's Own Story"
Whatever may be thought of Mr..
Williams's political and economic views,
no one car deny his ability to tell
a good story. The Incidents which
he describes in the book are always
interesting and often humorous. He
gives a highly entertaining account of
his own attempt to deliver d speech in
Russian before u crowd of soldiers and
workers while Lenin stood near and
prompted him with occasional words.

Wartime Essays
Havelock Ellis Shows
Keen Grasp of Events

THE PHILOSOPHY OF CONFLICT. BY
Havelocls Ellis. IIoughton Mlnlin Com
pany. New York and Boston
1t has been rather unkindly said that
the essay is the refuge Of the man who
possesses no creative literary ability
This statement is perhaps more un-
kindly than untrue. The essay, cs-
pccially the critical essay, in the hands
Of duh writer may easily become
an intolcrabe bore. Of course, there
are notable exceptions to this general
rule about the comparative infcriority
of the essay form. One thinks imne-
diately of Arnold and Patcr, Nietzschc
and Heine, Lichtenbergcr and Remy de
Gourmont.
Mr Havelock Ellis clearly belongs to
the class of exceptions. He is n scholar
Of the best type; scholar who does
not obtrude his schola rship. His pro-
found knowledge Of history. sociology
and anthropology imparts n quality Of
spacious grasp to his judgments Of cur
rent events without impairing his. clear,
vigorous style. He is eminently cru
dite without being cumbersome
In the essay that gives the book it's
title the author makes Il sharp dis
tinction between conflict and war. Con-
tending that conflict is a desirable and
cSScntlal element, WnlIe war IS an
avoidable excrcsoncc in life, he takes
issue equally with the militarist who
believes that the inherent benefits of
conflict can be realized only through
war, and with the pacifst who wishes
to eliminate conflict along with war.
Mr.. Ellis's reasoning suggests the late
Professor James's argument in behalf
of "a mQral equivalent for war"
The Author covers an extremely wide
field, ranging from a discussion Of the
mind Of woman to critical studies Of
Conrad and Baudelaire. He declares
that women are more normal, less
liable to the extremes Of genius and
idiocy than mon. In his essays on the
war Mr.. Ellis is a consistent advocate
of peace by understanding rather
than of Lloyd Georges theory Of the
knockout blow" In one keen aud
subtle piece of writing called "Vae
Victorbus' the author points out the
numerous historical instances in which
victory has paved the way for the
moral disintcgration of nation.

The Indiana Poet
Description of Riley's
Youth by Marcus Dickey

THE YOUTH or JANIS wHfTcoye
RILEY By Marcus Dickey Bobbs
Merrill Company Indianapolis
james Whitcomb Riley is perhaps
the most distinctively provincial Amer
lean poet. Born in a log cabin and
brought up in the rough frontier en-
vironmcnt that also produced Abraham
Lincoln, he has always remained very
closely IN touch with the speech and
thoughts of the plain folk of Indiana.
His youth-the period of his life de-
scribed in this book cxcrted a pecul-
inrly strong determining influence upon
the development Of MS poetry.
Mr. Dickcy gives detailed account
Of Riley's life up to the time os the
"Leonainie" hoax. This hoax vas an
interesting test of the credulty Of me
literary critics Of the time. Riley
wrote Il poem entitled "teonainie." and
newspaper editor. acting in collision
with him. brought it out With grave
published work Of Edgar Allan Poe
Riley's own often expressed theory
shat fame is more essential to success
than merit. in literature as well MS in
business, was adequately verified by
the event "Leonaine" received a large
amount Of varied criticism. favorable
and adverse. but generally based upon
the assumption that Poe was the au-
thor Of the poem. Naturally when The
hoax was exposed tho plndits who had
been so grievously taken IN fell upon
Riley savagely and declared that ms
career was forever blasted. But here,
rs in their acceptance Of Poe's au-
thorship Of "Leonainie," they were de-
cidedly mistaken.
This incident is typical Of the care
free. exuberant spirit which character
lied Riley throughout his life and made
him one Of the most lovabe Of Ameri-
can poets Mr. Dickey has made ex-
cellent use of the spondence and
other materials bearing upon Riey's
life to which he has been given access.
The author describes the poets boy
hood home and his experiences ~
school; he also follows Riley in the
varied occupations which he undertook
before he devoted himself entirely 20
writing. The numerous warm admirers
Of the Indiana poet should welcome
this authoritative and interesting story
Of an important formative period Of his
life.
