The Sex Problem

SEN FOR PARENTS AND TEACHERS.
BY William Leland Stoweli. Published
by The Macmillan Company. IS.
rVHE problems of sex are frankly but
A inoffensively discussed by DR..
Stowell in this book, which aims to
provide parents and teachers with an
easy method of approach to the con-
veying of vital hygienic information
to young children. The reproductive
processes of plants and animals are
first studied, and the author then de-
scribes the same function in human
beings, warning against the abuses and
pitfalls of sex and laying down rules
for moral and bodily cleanliness.

~ his immortal verse, assures us
that
"O'er England's abbeys bends the sky,
AS on its friends, with kindred eye;
For out of Thoughts interior sphere
These wonders rose to upper air."
and beyond doubt the same tribute NAV
as fittingly be paid to the cathedrals
of France. 1t was in the twelfth CEN
fury that the building of Gothic
cathedrals in that country began, and
in the course of that and the next two
centuries there arose, scattered from
the Vosges to the Pyrerees, from the
Alps to La Manche, the most marvellous
array Of such shrines that any land OF
earth could ever boast Only those of
England can be compared with them,
and they not to French sadvantage.
For if the abbeys and ministers of Eng
land there is generally - not always
"a more finished perfection and
picturesqueness of design, in the
cathedrals of France there is gener-
ally not always more of grandeur,
more of sublime aspiration and more
of that variety which bespeaks not
caprice, nor mere experiment, but the
agelong striving for perfection, and
which thus comprehends within these
buildings all that is most profitable
in the history of that architecture
which is the worlds only rival of
Greek and which is called Gothic by
virtue Of the most egregious misnomer
in all the annals of art.
1t was a noble thing for Elizabeth
Boyle O'Reilly to undertake this
elaborate study of the French ca
thedrals, which is at once history,
description and Interpretation. The
average reader knows little of them,
save the names of a few-Rheims,
Charities, Amiens, Rouen, Notre Dame
de- Paris-and pictures of their ex-
teriors, with one or two interiors. Our
author addresses herself to them all,
from the least to the greatest, with a
reverence which is not superstitious
awe, with informative detail which is
very far from being mere dry dust
technicality, and above all with an in

Essays by Ellis
Brief Impressions and Com
ments on a Vast Variety
of Themes

IMPRESSIONS AND COMMENTS. BY
Havelock Ellis. Published bv the
Houghton Miflin Company Price ST.
THIS second series of Mr.. Ellis's
miscellaneous essays covers the
period of the great war, from
1914 to 1920, period more rich in
food for thought than any other in
human history. The writer visits many
places, in several lands, and comes
into contact with a bewildering variety
Of scenes and themes of interest, to
all Of which he addresses himself with
versatility and an adaptability al
the Salvation Army or the Channel
tunnel, mass in the Westminster
Cathedral Or the Staying of Huns in
the trenches, he is at home with his
subject and impresses US with the
notion that it is precisely the subject
Of all subjects with which he is best
fitted to deal.
1t is in his spiritual vision, how
ever, that Mr.. Ellis is always at his
BEST surprising by far the essays in
the psychology of sex and kindred
themes for which he is perhaps best
known. Note, for example, his ex~
quisite reflections on an Easter Sun
day:
when the first breath of spring is
felt in the air, always there comes
into my blood the impulse to pack my
bag, to start for afar, to wander in
some new and beautiful land, among
some strange and attractive folk, to
celebrate the Easter resurrectional
festival of the earth's new life, which
may well be the oldest of human re
ligious rites. For three years the
gates of the outer world have been
closed to me. Three years ago to-day
stood beneath the rich loneliness of
the windows of Rheims and could
scarcely leaFe them, drawn to that
now yelled shrine of beauty, for the
hrst and last time, by what Fremont
ton of tragedy. For the whole world
has been revolutionized since, left
naked and poorer, as l, too, have been
left. Now as | listen dreamingly to
music there seems to arise once more
within me some impulse from the past,
the old call of the palmer's scrip, the
old desire of the pilgrims staff. But
when ! turn and consider I know that
1t Is not the old call nor the old
desire. | seem to be conscious of some
vaster pilgrimage that / can but
olmiy discern. When thou vast young,
! seem to hear, thou girdest thyself
and walked whittier thou wouldst. But
when thou shalt be old!'"
1t is a precious thing, amid the
sordid hurlyburly of the material
world, to engage such Impressions, to
mink such thoughts, to feel such feel
lngs. 1t is precious thing, above all
praise. to be able with such beauty
and power to convey them so vividly
and vitality to an illimitable multitude
Of readers.

SILVER FIELDS. BY Rowland Fl. Robin
son. Published by Houghlon Mifflin
Company Sl75.
F'yN HE opening paper of this little
4 book, from which the collection
derives its title, is a sympathetic
picturing of the fields and forests of
New England in winter. The author
is of the school of Frank Bowles, and
he etches, in words against the copper
plate of his Imagination, scenes in black
and white that are faithful TO the reali-
ties of Vermont winter. The pines,
the frs, the moon rising through and
above the traceres of twigs and
branches, the tiny trails of animals
over the snow, are portrayed in man
ner that will appeal to all loyal New
Englande:s.
The other fifteen sketches range
from little pastoral idyls of boy life
on farm and in the wilds to bass fish
ing and fox hunting. To us, for our
own father was a physician and sur
four pages on The Country Doctor add
one more splendid tribute to type of
man now fading from history. Stephen
Leacock recently caught the very soul
Of the village doctor of Canada in q
brief sketch rich in pathos. The au-
thor of Silver Fields gives another
view, that of the mans relations with
his fellows in hours of relaxation, with
rod and gun. The two sketches, that
by Leacock and this one by Robinson,
should be read by all who know and
love the Country DOCTOR

DEPARTMENTAL EFFICIENCY

No other department of the gov
eminent has made more progress in
organization than has that Of agri-
culture. No other has made changes
which promise a greater return in
service. 1t was said to be the most
loosely and inefficietly organized of
the ten. Secretary Wallace Is rap
idly making it the best organized
and most efficient. If he keeps up
the present pace no other will excel
it in the value of it's returns to the
country in proportion to it's cost.
Since Mr.. Wallace has taken Of
flee, he has completed the cnosOlida-
ton of the Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates and he has now coordinated
to practical unity with this com
bined bureau those of Farm Manage
ment and Farm Economics. These
four should always have been one.
That they were organized separately
was the fault of congress. It was
born of a desire to provide that
many more bureau heads as berths
for political rewards.

Mr.. Ford occupies a peculiar posi-

but it is sufficient as guide to
public opinion.
He has not made his wealth from

there is an ineradicable feeling,
rightly belongs to all. He has not
gotten it from the so-called "unearn-

united labor of many, but the pos
session of only one. He has not been
a child of fortune. He did not in
herit in money so much as the price
of pair of trousers. He is not the
product of any "angel' who under
wrote his future for him.
He has been the arbiter of his
own fortune. He made his wealth
in industry. His products have been
for those of small means. He has pro-
duced nothing that is luxury of

He has made his wealth in combi-
nation with labor. not by cutting
coupons or collecting interest All
his investments of his surplus have
been to employ more labor and
bring within the reach OF millions
what was beyond their financial
ability. He has shown how labor
could be paid high wages at an in

this largely because those who work
for him feel that this adde profit
will go back to some form of labor
enjoyment or to public benefit.
His singularity in being very,
