A BURST OF PRECOCITY

which he most enjoys, and every mother seeks carefully to guard her daughter from the indiscretions which made her own youth romantic and in teresting. All of us have powerful penchant for saving the other fellows soul, and the old indulge this penchant constantly upon the young.
 This burst of youthful genius there fore means nothing less than a revolt of youth, and a successful one. against the inhibitions which age has sought to lay upon it. These young men have demanded a hearins and they have gotten it. They have told all the world how the world looks to a human insect who has just emerged from the cocoon of a formal education and Is about to try his wings in the more or less free air of civilized society. All of them have a great deal to say about the kind of education which the elders have provided for them, and all of them have something to say about love and marriage. Education and sex are about the only things of which they have any experience, but on these subjects their opinions are emphatic and passionate.
 Boy Geniuses Here and Abroad
 The youngest of the boy novelists is an English lad named Alec Waugh. who has written a novel setting forth his experiences in the British schools. Ills DOCK IS commenced DN CE4llCS as d really brilliant performance. and he finds going to school on the whole a barbarous and futile business. He was only seventeen years old when his book was written.
 His fellow genius on this side is F.. Scott Fitzgerald who at the age of 23 has gritten a novel of life in a high class American prep" school, and at Princeton, which has run through several editions and attracted the wid
 est attention. Fitzgerald's hero found his school and college life amusing. but he does not record that he learned anything of importance there. He de- scribes Princeton as a delightful coun- 1 try club where everything possible was done to make a correct snob Of him. He also tried to get married but failed because he had not enough money. l The girl with whom he fell in love was the typical American debutante, trained for nothing except the career of very pampered and extravagantly kept woman. This recalcitrant hero also goes to war and he does not like war any better than he did love or edu- cation. He finds everything all wrong and ends by becoming a socialist on 1 the ground that he has everything to 1 gain and nothing to lose by a radical 1 change in the existing order of things. A very similar book is that of

folk that Abraham Lincoln spent long hours lying on his stomach studying heavy books, and that Benjamin Franklin led a toilsome youth. The young aspirant is taught to believe that he too may become q Lincoln or a Franklin if he will only work hard enough. There is nothing in it. If he is endowed by nature with a great brain he has but to follow his inciina- tion in order to develop it, and if he is not so endowed, no amount of work can make him anything but a medi- ocrity. Indeed, hard grinding. effort Is rather worse than useless. It is only when you are really interested and therefore working without sense of effort that you are developing your brain, for only then does the blood feed 1t properly. The thing to do is to find what interests you and then do 1t for the joy of doing it. If you fail to
 achieve greatness 1t will not be because you did not work hard enough. The
 world is full of fools who are work ing their heads off and making neither fame nor wealth.

Bv Frederic u. Haskin

NEW YORK, June 22.-With chil- dren nine to twelve years of age writ ing books and contributing to the magazines, boys just out of college and boarding school writing realistic novels which cause sensations in literary cir cles, and a dramatist in his twenties setting a new standard for the <Ameri- can stage, the English speaking world is witnessing a remarkable display of precocious talent.
 The first and best known of these young wonders is the now famous Daisy Ashford, whose book, attested by James Barry to have been written at the age of nine. has sold in enor- nous numbers. But Daisy Ashford does not really belong to this group of precocities, for her book was written long ago and she is now a grown woman. Furthermore, it sounds like the work of a child of nine. and is in teresting chiefly as a curiosity. The same is true of several child authors who have sought to emulate her sue cess, one of whom is publishing in a leading American highbrow magazine. Their work is undoubtedly remark able for children, but it is not of any considerable literary value.
 A great deal more interesting is the group of what might be called "boy novelists'' from seventeen to twenty three years of age. who have recently published works of realistic fiction that win the praise of the most conserva- tive critics. This group is especially appealing. For long time the gray boards have held the 1imelight in liter ature-or if not the graybeards at least the mature. As the study of any bio- graphical dictionary will show, few writers produce anything that attracts attention before the age of thirty, and few make much of a reputation or get Q wide hearing until they are near forty. This means that a man gen. orally does not succeed in impressing himself on his fellows until he Is past his youth. It means that in litera- ture as in almost everything else, this is a world dominated by the mature and the old, against whom youth struggles for it's ideals and it's desires largely in vain. It has been pointed out many times that old men make the wars and young men fight them It might be said with almost equal truth that old men make the laws and young people have to obey them, the old generally being strong enough to get around them. It Is likewise the old and the mature who fix social GUS tom and convention, and it is the young upon whom these restrictions press most heavily. Every father is bent on saving his sons from the vices

Revision Of Vermont Constitution with
Relation to Suffrage.

purpose, urged that a referendum be
taken in case any action is proposed
toward changing the constitution as TO
suffrage.
Miss Kilbreth said the federal wonl-
an suffrage amendment is not result
OF a popular move but rather the work
of small coterie Of well financed peo.
pie. She criticized President Wilson
for his alleged yielding to the demands
of the sufragists.
Other matters considered By the
were in relation to chang

TO DETERMINE RIGHT
TO PUNISH BY NO PAY
important Point Raised Regarding the
Practice of Municipalities in
Massachusetts,.

Boston Aug 24.--The right of mu
nicipalitv TO punish a police officer by
requiring him TO perform duty without
pay was raised o-day in a hearing be
fore Judge Braley of the supreme
court in the case of Officer James w
Wilson of Fitchburg, who was or
dered TO serve without pay for thirty
days for assaulting a man under ar
rest.
City Solicitor Flynn of Fitchburg ar
gued that the custom was common in
police departments to sentence officers
found guilty of charges to duty with.
out pay, but Wilson's counsel ron
tended that the practice involved a
lowering of compensation, which was
forbidden by law.
Judge Braley asked Mr.. FLYNN
whether sentence of one year without
compensation could be imposed Mr..
Flynn said he supposed that would be
excessive punishment, and the court
rejoined' that he could not see anv diff
ference between year and 30 days.
The court then suggested that a suit
against the city to recover a months
pay was the remedy for the policeman
to seek, and dismissed without prciu-
dice Wilson's petition for a writ of
mandamus TO compel the district court
to review the action Of the city eoun-
III in finding him guilty.

HAD TO TURN WATER
on TRAPPED PEOPLE
In Order to Save Them from Burning
to Death Before Rescuers Could
Reach Them.

New York, Aug. 24.--Eight persons
were injured in a fire which trapped
more than score of families in a five

and police prevented a heavy loss of
life, as the flames swept through the
burning building like whirlwind,
cutting off all stairways.
Two men were seriously injured
when the flames forced them to lean
from a third floor window. The heat
was so intense that firemen played
streams of water on men, women and
children as they crowded the fire es
capes to keep them from being burned
to death while waiting to be rescued.
