George Elliott and Modern Novel

WHbur Cross in the Yale Review
 Even George Eliot's early novely are somehow> out of tune with the present. Even they are too reflective Readers tire of the minute story of Maggie Tul- liver's thoughts and emotions If the entire life of girl into womanhood is to be presented, they prefer the manner OF Miss Sinclair who in her Mary Oliver does not stop to moralize but goes on rapidly in a quick succession of disconnected scenes which they now immediately forget. if they wish, one after another. What they want is a direct, vivid perception of life in as many new phases as possible. They care nothing for a so-called plot worked up to a logical conclusion. The late Henry James wrote for them many nov els with no conclusions at all And much may be said for his method No story, so far as I remember, really Lady or the Tiger?" We all easily for get how a novel ends. It is what goes before that counts. And in what goes before, if I may repeat, there should be raised, according to present stan dards. no question of right or wrong conduct. To raise such question any where would be discourtesy to the reader. The novel must noY be immoral
 The novelists part is to depict life in it's fullness- The reader wishes to draw his own moral inferences. "A novel, ' says Ibanez. lis to give the sensation of life and affairs" Here. except for details of technique. the Spanish novelist stops So. in practice if not in defini- tion, here stop the Russians. who above all others have transformed the novel into something quite different from whA 1t was when George Eliot left it. A novelist may. if he likes. still show up social abuses and preach social righte- ousness in the manner of Wells and Galsworthy. But he must leave the in. dividual alone. There is now no place in the novel for personal righteousness

The sep arate facilities and equipment for whites and colored people are exactly the same
 The bathing and recreational equipment are offered adults as freely as they are provided for the children.
 Social life is publicly stimulated and provided for by fraternal halls for lodge use of both men and women, community hui'dines and church edif'cee FOR COMMUNITY COOPER

 No claim is made for credit on account of all this educational, sanitary and sr4 cial work and expenditure. No motives are professed or defended. If it is dnc only to an enlightened business policy tc conserve the human resources of the in. dustry. and to develop the stability, eff ficiency and productiveness of lqi not the motive sane and sound ad- vance? There is nothing thus substituted for the scale of wages or hours, though the right to organize and bargain col lectively is denied. Even so. this educa. tional and human service need not wade the prerogatve rightfully claimed by organized labor, unless indeed union labor can justify it's recent claim that 1t alone, has the prerogative of being t sole conservator of human welfare in in dustry. from which employers and all others must keep hands off

These villages-nearly a score of them-did not all merely grow up around the plants, but all the newer ones were laid out and built up while the plants were in process of construction.
 They were as carefully and consid- ately planned to meet the human needs
 and wants of the workers as the works" were planned to turn raw materials into , finished products. They provide for popu- lations varying from 400 to 6,000, offering Essentially the same provision to the ne- groes and the whites in their respective sections of the village. Each section has it's attractive variety of houses aud buildings for public use. There are 7,ooo such houses, most of them for single family occupancy at rentals varying ac- cording to the number of rooms, from three to six rooms in each averaginS & per room, including electric lights, water supply, and the disposal of waste Gardening is encouraged by garden space for each family and school gar dens for the children. Dormitory build ings wieh dining halls are provided for
 men without families
 CARE FOR CHILDREN The educational and recreative advan- tages of these villages are greatly in creased by supplementing the county appropriations for teachers salaries so as to secure better service in the thirty to schools thus comparatively sup ported. whose building and playground
 equipment is provided by the company. Their teaching staff, in ,luding graduates of eastern, southern and western colleges, is strengthened by team work with recreation directors and community works They are together in little house. hold groups of six or eight membern, occupying attractive cottages built espe- ciafly for their use Beautiful spring festivals and pageants are held by the combined pupils and teachers of the adj jacent villages.
 One such given last Saturday by 1,Soo negro school children conducted by teachers of their own race. was carried
 out with remarkable precision, spirited response and beautiful effect.
 Public health is very personally safa-
 guarded and promoted with exceptional
