THE TRAINING SCHOOL, OF POPU-
LARITY. The letters of Jane Will
lard to Peggy MacIntyre. her adoree
in high school. BY Muriel White
Dennis. George II. Doran Company
hHIS wise and well considered
little handbook of first aid to
the very young women who
sometimes find themselves strangely
unappreciated at their own valuation
may be read by some of these young
creatures, who would find it's con-
tents tedious if spoken by a friend,
however close and trusted. and thus
they gain some new and useful
ideas. The author says that these
twelve letters were actually written
to high school girl. and they have
been arranged I'm book "to help the
younger girls who are cropping after
popularity" For Miss Dennis says
that the normal girl is a weaver of
dreams about herself and her future.
and those dreams always grow about
the nucleus of wish to be popular. !"
So the first letter sets down some
of The Fundamentals of Being
Liked" 1t is written to a high school
girl by her married friend, and it
gives her the direct information that
since the word popular means "to be
well liked by the people," when one
starts on the road to popularity one
must have three things packed
ready to take along. namely. unself-
ishness. sincere friendliness and abil-
ity (or willingness) to adapt oneself
and appear at ease under all circum-
stances and with all people" This
seems large order" to give a
young girl as preliminary. but
since the good counselor goes on to
give details which are involved i'm the
general direction, it appears that all
the virtues are not really required at
the start. But the real desire to
possess them is required, and the
directions are given with much clear

The raven Is essentially tragic

fierce temper. in his associations

no more vulgar with it than the

which was "bucolic savagery to the

Whites actual discoveries in
natural history have been so enor-
mously extended and sometimes
displaced by Darwinism that there
is tendency to belittle them. We
think of him as an author who
contributes to our pleasure rather
than to our knowledge. That is
an Injustice. Nor is it only in the
famous passage about earthworms

manent impression we receive from

SOME BIRDS OF THE COUNTRY
SlDE-By III. j. Massingham. E. p.
Dutton & Co.
ERE are two volumes which
have a common subject, the
study of British birds: and
common method. namely, the cam
era and field glass in place of the
shotgun. Furthermore. both authors
are unquenchable enthusiasts, given
heart and soul to the pursuit of their
chosen hobby. Yet it would be diff
ficult to find two books more sharply
contrasting in form. spirit and net
results.
Captain Knights claim to recog-
milton lies primarily in a collection
of unique photographs. equally re-
markable for technical excellence
and for the intimacy of the scenes
they depict. They are literally tree
top pictures. showing the almost in
accessible nests of the crow and
rook. the kestrel. merlin and buz-
zard. the spotted woodpecker and the
long cared owl-nests that battle the

fui picture can be had from the
chapter on "Photographing the
Crow" When a nest has been Sc
iected for Photographic purposes
and a suitable elevation opposite it
has been found. the next step is not
| merely TO make the ascent during
the absence of the parent birds:
securely anchor a camera, focus il.
and. with a string attached to the
shutter. slip to the ground again and
await the birds return-no. indeed.
it is not nearly so simple as all that.

bit of sacking camoufiaged with
leaves. This must remain for a day
| or so until the crows are reconciled
to the innovation and come and go
as usual. Then. day by day, the
size OF the dummy camera is in
creased until the tapping cloth is
big enough to screen completely the
real instrument. Even then the diff
ficulties are not over: since, with the
camera set and its owner safely hid
den at the foot of the tree. a new
problem arises: the crows arith-
metic. although elementary. srecog-

IL the photographer goes alone the
crow will not return until IL sees
him depart: If two operators arrive

crow still realizes that something is
wrong. Captain Knight found that
