Beltramelli's Children's Stories.

One of the most beautiful and at
the same time most successful of
recent enterprises among Italian
periodicals is the children's BIZ
weekly Giro Trio ToHdo ("Ring
around the rosies," as it were) edited
by Antonio Beltramelli. Here we
find nonsense rhymes of exceedingly
amusing sprightliness, fables and
folk lore tales of all peoples retold
in humorous vein in verse and prose,
amazing adventures of little rogues
such as Fiffo and Fiffolino, Secchi
and Berleffi. (and so on) songs and
rigmaroles. animal stories and in
short everything wonderful and in
teresting to little men and women
under the age of seven and to big
ones over forty.
This uproariouS magazine of six
teen small pages is the result of an
unusually felicitous collaboration be-
list. The text is written wholly by

which we would more heartily wish

of an autobiography. Guido Biagi is
now editing in volumes entitled
"Acqua Passata," and "Foglie al Ven-

ing chiefly for the light II throws
on the origin of many OF these fa-
nous stories. such as "Batone's
Pipe" But there is an occasional
touch of human interest. Fucini was
always known Tor the SlnfpllClty ana
frugality of his manner of living. and
this he attributes to the privations
enforced upon him by poverty in
his youth. His mother kept a care

Centile's Influence on the New
Generation.

And what has Gentle done? He
has corrected Croce's idealism with
out destroying it-so much so that
Croce may to-day be reckoned among
the followers of Gentle. He has re-
stored the unity of the mind"
which Croce had divided into the ia
nous four processes 1.-TWO theoretical,
corresponding to logic and aesthetics:
and two practical. corresponding to
economics and ethics). Inquire fur
ther and you find that these young
men have been living in mortal ter
ror of mixing aesthetics with ethics,
let us say. or of confusing logic with
economics. and that Gentle has
lifted great weight from their souls
by demonstrating the essential unity

In practice this new philosophy tells
the Italian boy that personality is
more precious than learning, and
that his mind is free to choose its
own pathways through these riches
which human experience has piled
up all aboJt him.

from bellies lettres proper to the

any number of writers formerly cele-
brated for the severity of their
artistic standards who have turned
from poetry, or from criticism. or
from the essay, to the sentimental
short story or the newspaper sex
romance. And, in the third place,
thinkers have moved across the stage
to the spotlight once held by the
creative" artist; since. in the pre-
vailing confusion Of ideas, a most
vital problem is the recovery of in
tellectual balance.
The Growth of Skepticism.
The grave necessity for such ain
effort toward recovery may be meas
ured by the popularity of such a
book as the "Scepsi Estetica" (The
Virus OF Esthetics) by Giuseppe
Rensll. This little volume. which
thousands of people in Italy have
read and are still reading. is re-
garded as a typical expression Of the
post bellum disorientation Of which
we have been speaking. 1t represents
al attempt to formulate system
OF extreme skepticism. where any
hope of arriving at truth is held to
be deiusory. Prof. Rensf romps like
a Fascista through the utopian af-
firmations of the parties of the Left
and like a Bolshevist through the
tineworn postulates of conserva-
tism. Extremely light" as philoso-
ply. the "Scepsi Estetica" is inter-
esting largely for its vogue. The
fact that such book could be so
widely discussed helps us to realize
bow thoroughly the war shook the
spiritual foundations Of Europe.
Now it happens that in this chaos
of conflicting tendencies. the strong
est and most affirmative platform
around which the young men of
Italy could gather was the ideal
ism" represented by the philosophy
of the Spirit" of Benedetto Croce. a
monumental work, where the theory
OF esthetics is at once the soundest
and most original portion. But the
influence of Croce was most power
full just before the war, and only
abroad; especially in France and the
United States, did the opposing
tendency. Italian 'positivism," hold
It's own largely through the work of
Guglielmo Ferrero. Most Italians
under the age of 40 were reared
either on Croeeanism or on anti
Croceanism. But, at the present
moment, il you talk with an Italian
student OF IS. or with an ex-com-
batant officer of %. he will tell YOU

perience of partaking heartily OF
pancakes containing INT. without
suffering any serious effects.
Hamilton was visiting friends on
mining claim near Acton, Cal.
One of his co-partners prepared
pancakes in honor of the occasion.
After the meal II was discovered
that a spoon used in mixing the
pancake flour had been taken from
a can of deadly INT. The spoon
had been thickly coated with the
explosive.
II did not experience any Ill or
untoward results from the ounce
or more of INT mixed with the
pancake dough-" said Hamilton,
"but l decided right away-rather
sudden like. too-that l would be
mighty careful in avoiding sudden
knocks and jars, and for the first
time in my life l made up my mind
