Chief of the criticisms that might
be launched against this ninety ninth
volume of the Modern Library Series
is that eight of the twelve articles
were originally addresses, one of
which was delivered as far back as
1915. In addition to suffering from
lack of up-to-dateness, some OF
them have not the proportion or
completeness that articles written
expressly for a volume on contem-
porary science would have. Then.
too. the subjects might have been
/ chosen with greater discretion.
Methods of Gas Warfare" What

hardly belong side by side with
others on physics. bacteriology and
psychology. indeed are apt to give
the reader a distorted picture of
modern scientific progress. They
might well have been omitted to
make room for articles on such sub
jects as modern astronomy or psy-
chical phenomena. 1t would be un-
just. however, to permit these crit
icisms to overshadow the great in

have to the general and even the

ranked with the best OF his profes-

wilderness just south Of where Har-

most OF his boyhood in the woods

innate terms with the Indians, and
from them learned much that was
priceless 10 him later in life. "At

Much is said in praise Of the ad
venturous spirit of our early pioneers.
While this is in great part merited.
historical research proves that a
large percentage of American. ex

economic reasons. The settled part
OF the country became too crowded.
The solution was the opening up OF
the wilderness to afford more room.
Such was the case with Boone. Mar
