THE FREUDo1Ds IN OUR MIDST.

NNE fact borne in upon the readers of the 40
" odd letters "from anybody on any book or
books of 1919" that were entered in our prize con-
test is that the amateur Freudian fad is still very
much alive and that good people are disturbed by
it. We had thought it dead long since. We weren't
sure, and indeed are not now, that MoRDnL's
funny book was not solemn, elaborate satire, I'M
chivalrously pushing the moribund craze off the
brink Of its logical sbsurdity. Mr. STBUNsKY whose

BERNARD sHAw's PLAYS OF WAR.

Asst week, wishing to buy Heartbrecs House
IL we visited headquarters for SHAW and then
five other book stores. The fifth one happened to
have one copy left. The first batch was gone within
three weeks of publication, and something-the
strike, no doubt-was retardng the second little
though we were assured it would be on sale in a
short time.
Without meaning to encroach on the speciality of
B. H. c. in these pages or to invade the dramatic
critic province, we must say have little use for
HeGrtbredk House. There exists a species of
"critic" that fshily watches author get up, and
the moment he is up begins to taunt him with slip
ping down. They have been doing it to SHAW for
quite while. 1t is painful to agree with these gen.
try, but since-say, MiSGlliGnce-we have felt that
they were justified and the new long play disposes
of any last doubt.
The task Mr.. SHAW set for himself, to make a
four act Tchekovian aegory of cultured, leisured
Europe" before and during the war; was interest
ing The alegory ION two readings at least is not.
We would rather go to the dentist s for an entire
afternoon than attend a matinee performance of
it. We are not wholly COMPOUNDED by the allegory;
we could, on wager, work out sort of diagram
of what the compOnents mean But the preface,
from the hand Of SHAW, the painstakingly exposi-
tory pamphleteer, is worth ten of the play and
the preface is no luminous contribution not even q
brilliant exposition of the ideas Of SHAw's teachers
And the conclusion, for SHAW, is positively dismal
Where is now the brave Juan of the hell scene in
Man and Superntanf
HedrtbreGk House should and will sell as one Of
his biographers cooed, the worst of SHAW is we'll
worth study. But Greet Catherine is the one play
in this volume which many devotees of SHAW the
dramatist are likely to reread. The "playets of
the war" are, frankly, bad. O'Flaherty y c. is
the best of bad boiling; we sympathize with the
authorities who failed to find in it the stimulus
to recruiting in Ireland which the author says be
designed The Inca of Jerusalem proves as stupid
as we thought it when we went to see it played The
Bolshev1 Empress is worse augustus is a feeble
echo of some parts of The Man of Destiny
In the brief preface to augustus Mr.. SHlw
makes it known that in January, 1917, he was in
vited by the Conlmander-n Chief to the theatre of
war in Flanders. Evidently HAIa was one English
man too intelligent to mistake him for pro-Ger-
man. And from the preface to Heartbreak House

THE SONG ABOUT DEATH
By Solomon de la Selva.


THE eyes of death are Heshless, so they see
The things to which our feshy eyes are blind
For which our longing gropes and cannot find. =
The heart of death is never full, therefore
The love of death is infinite l know
That though love you much l will love more
When 1 am dead.
You will remember me
How in the flesh l was but will 60
Into the depths of you and know Alright
Your loveliness, for there shall nothing be
Hidden or dmmed to my immortal sight
And this poor heart of flesh that aches to bear
The weight of love that fills it, when die
Shall have relief in love, for it shall wear
All love as lightly as the earth the sky.

Plans for the formation Of a teach

capacity to the Board OF Education.
have been practically completed. Miss
Alice Deal, president OF the High
School Teachers Union, told The
Times today.
The teachers have gone ahead with
their plans for the organization Of the

Board OF Education to answer, 50 far,
their demands for q public hearing.
There will be from twenty-five to
thirty teachers on the council" said
Miss Deal. These will not. necsssar-
lily, be members Of the High School
Teachers Union or the Grade School
Teachers Union. They will be Sc
lected from the different grade

the twelfth having one or more rep
resentatiVes on the council
"An EFFORT will be made to have the
different schools in the city repre-
sented equally on the council. The
terms OF office have not been decided
upon, but probably win be from one
to two or three years. The members
Of the council will elect the teacher
who is to be president Of the council.
Miss Deal declared that inasmuch
as the Washington teachers are ad-
vocating something entirely new in
their plan for the duties OF a teach
ers' council the project IL being
watched with interest by educators
