judging from the appearance Kansas
made in the oklahoma clash, the
change was for the better.
Kansas teams this week are gettfng
into action for the last four weeks of
the season. Some of the teams are
facing some hard games yet, while
others are to have fairly easy shedding
the remainder of the season.
Kansas State Normal, leader of the
conference to date, mas Pittsburg and
College of Emporia yet to play before
the end OF the season. Outside the con-
ference, the Teachers are to meet the
fast Haskell Indians This game
should decide just how strong the
Kansas Normal eleven is. Teams
which have been played to date were
weaker than the Teachers. and the
Haskell crew is the first team which
appears to be stronger. The contest
will be watched with interest.
College of Emporia and Pittsburg
should be fairly easy picking for the
played up to form THIS year in COM
parison with other years.
Washburn faces the College of En-
poria crew at Topeka Saturday in
what should be a fairly even contest.
While Topeka school has fairly
strong eleven this year, the men have
not been able to hit the stride of other
years. College of Emporia lost to Ster-
ling, which SO far has been considered
one of the weaker teams of the con-
ference. It is expected the Ichabods
will have a close game, with the ODDS
slightly in their favor.

vocabulary is necessarily filled with SER
vice terms not always plain to the Ameri-
can civilian.
This narrative describes the condition of
the British air forces at the opening of the
war; summarizes the history of the con-
quest of the air from the earliest times
and the types of machines in existence in
August, 1914; tells of the beginnings of
the air forces and the institution of the
Royal Flying Corps; and then takes up
the work of the army flying men in the
days of the retreat from Mons to Ypres
when its usefulness in furnishing intelli-
gence in actual warfare was first demon
strated A special chapter is given to the
navy's flying men, the record closing with
an account of the means taken to expand
the air force in the winter of 1914.
Unlike other British historians of tie
war, Mr.. Raleigh does not stress the
wholly inadequate air force at the out
break of hostilities the squabbles between
the army and navy and the Air Ministry,
nor the slowness of production of aircraft,
apparently believing these things have had
sufficient publicity. His philosophy of writ
ing history is to be cheerful about it and
to let his tale wear the brightest possible
face.

appears to be more than that-to be par
ticularly rich and fortunate in what it has
produced. Every important publisher has
his lists of holiday titles, lists that shine with
famous and favorite names that bring forth
new writers and artists. In the succeeding
articles we shall give some notion of what
all these offerings are. The Century, Doran,
Harpers Little-Brown, the Atlantic
Monthly Press, McClurg, Appleton, Dodd-
Mead Page, Macmillan. Stokes, Double
day, Holt-these and others have turned
their attention to making this Christmas
in the bookland for children a remarkable
one. There has been a great deal of newly
awakened interest in children's reading,
due to the efforts of libraries and schools
and publishers, and this interest seems to
have brought rich harvest to the shelves.
Very little that is cheap and bad is to be
found None the less, any one who sets
forth to buy a book for a child, older or
younger, ought to do it with open eyes
and an understanding heart. Not any
book, but the book, should be the aim.
Know something of the tastes OF the
young person to whom you mean to pre-
sent your book. If it be a boy or girl
who will love one of w. H. Hudson's
nature studies do not be satisfied with
football or heroine. tale. Children are as
dissimilar in their likes and their tastes as
adults, perhaps more so. The publishers
have taken the trouble to get something
for each individual preference. Be as care
full in buying as they in producing and
Christmas will be good.

be called the occupational stories, where a
boy becomes reporter, or an engineer, or
a forest ranger or a farmer, or a girl takes

the school stories, are written by men and

revealed the weakness in the imperial sys-
tenn of government. Side by side with po-
ltical conditions in the American colonies
he shows what forces were operating
against them in Great Britain, sketches
the social and intellectual gulf that sep
arated England and the colonies and lays
more stress than any other writer we
know on the part religion played in bring
ing on the War of Independence.
The value and importance of this work
of scholarship lies in the fact that less
stress than usual is laid on the superficial
political, military and economic causes of
the Revolution and more on those pro-
founder elements that have been hereto
fore only lightly considered by our older
historical writer's. The novelty of this
treatment, including the stress laid on
the religious feeling of the time when
preachers thundered politics from their
pupits, will cause the general reader of
our American history to look forward
eagerly to Prof Van Tyne's treatment of
the war itself and of "the failure of the
first American experiment in organizing
an effective union and the story of the
successful attempt which wrought the

~ History of the War is being pub
lished without any definite system,
for before the volumes devoted to the war
afloat are completed we have the first
volume of Walter Raleigh's 1.-The War in
the Air" which is an account of the work
of the Royal Air Force. The scope of the
whole narrative that is to be told regard
ing this arm of the fighting forces may
be gathered from the fact that the opening
volume runs to 4S9 pages and yet only
covers the ground up to the winter OF
1914. Being a civilian Mr.. Raleigh has
avoided, as much as possible, what he calls
''the Masonic dialect of the services, which
will be to the profit of the general reader
in this country, to most of whom much OF
British service argot is unintelligible. More
over, this historian has not cluttered up
his pages with military authorizations of
rank. adopting the simple plan OF giving
to his officers, except on special occasions,
the rank they held when the book was
written. These features give to the text
simplicity and clarity that is often miss

the American Republic. Prof. Van
Tyne purposes "to relate those out
standing facts and movements in Ameri-
can. history which best describe the found
ing of the American Republic" as looked
at in the light of the newer scholarship of
recent years, which has brought about "a
decided modification in the old views of
the causes which led to the American
Revolution" In the opening volume (the
story is to be told in three parts) there is
explained the growth of the spirit of indie
pendence which made Americans discon-
tented with their subordinate position in
the British Empire, this being done in
thirteen chapters beginning with the con-
ditions which formed the american
spirit and ending with the formation of
the Continental Congress and the battle of
Lexington.
Prof Van Tyne shows how the British
system of colonial government gradually
grew to be resented in the American
colonies, how the several local assemblies
changed the laws to suit their new needs
