guished authorship is Peter and
the Wolf" by Serge Prokof1eff, with
an introduction by Serge Kous-
sevitzky, published by Alfred
Knopf. Mr.. Prokofieff has put
Peter" to music, and records have
been made of the composition.
Here, in book form, we have the
story and also the themes which,
in the musical composition, repre-
sent the various characters of the
tale. Any one who suspects his
child of being young prodigy can
get this volume and try it out on
the offspring. 1t would seem to be
ideally fitted for one of those par
entail experiments.

specialize in lots of pictures and

The Hill Is Mine
By Maurice Walsh. NeiD Yorl

By Maurice Walsh. NetD York:
Frederick A. Stokes Co.
1t is a relief to come across a
novel that has no ulterior motive,
one that bears no undertones of
propaganda, does not seek to re-
form, instruct or otherwise alter
the reader, novel written only to
interest and amuse. Such a novel
is The Hill is Mine" a story about
Texan in the wilds of Scotland.
While some of the convolutions of
plot are none too plausible-and,
for the matter of that, some OF the
characters themselves are none too
plausible-the whole is a readable,
entertaining story. The style is
easy and eminently readable. Both
characters and plot have sufficient
variety that one goes on from in
cident to incident with relish There
is enough suspense SO that the ele-
ment of surprise is not neglected.
As a present for a convalescent
friend, or as gift for one weary Of
war and politics, it is highly to be
recommended.

A Treasury of the Worlds
Great Letters

Edited By NJ. Lincoln Schuster.
NeD York. Simon & SchuSter.
There is nothing to be said about
this book except that you ought to
get it. 1t is a collection of letters
dating from the time of Alexander
the Great to the prestn and including
works of the worlds wisest, wittiest
and generally most distinguished
minds-Diogenes, st. Jerome Chris
topher Columbus, Walter Raleigh,
Leonardo da vinci. Ninon de LEnlos,
Napoleon, Thomas Jefferson, Thor

Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain, Bill
Nye, D. H. Lawrence and H. l..

Migrancy is nothing new in hui
man experience. Abraham, in
search of the Promised Land, and
Moses, leading the children of Israel
out of Egypt. were migrants. Euro
pean history has been indelibly
marked by migrations of early tribes,
races and religions. Migration has
been an essential part of American
life and development.
But today's type of migrancy is
a new one. Modern migrants are
not inspired by dreams of new land;
they move on their way because
they have lost what they had
through the mechanization of ag-
riculture or foreclosures on poor
land, or because they have been
"blowed out" in the Dust Bowl. And
their fate seems to be to follow
with hunger, deprivation and de-
spair the never ending trail of ripen-
ing crops up and down and across
this vast land.
For the next few months mis-
sionary education in the churches
of Washington and other cities will
be focused upon the problems of
shifting populations and the
churches responsibility and ministry
to the migrants. Some books have
been published especially for mis-
sion study; others, of more general
treatment, also are suggested read
ing. They may be borrowed from
the Public Library, Eighth and K
streets NV, and any of its
branches.

tural families "starve that we may
eat" as Edith E. Lowry has stated
it in her Migrants of the Crops"

1t being, once again, Childrens
Book Week, the reviewer has been
sitting on the floor and prattling
merrily to her dolls for some hours
in an effort to acquire psychology
fitted to the selection of the best
works of current literature for in
fants. She has achieved, for her
labor, however, only one general
ity; that is, that the best child's
book is nearly always the one which
has the best artist. For the most
part, it seems to her, the authors
could be dispensed with altogether.
Particularly is this so since the
fashion for putting no more than
three words of the story on a single
page has come into being. Instead
of announcing these juveniles, then,
as by Author So-and-so," with
illustration by Artist Such-and-
SUCH" she suggests that they be
brought out in the future as by
Such -and-such with accompanying
text by So-and-so. With this con-
structive idea submitted to whom
ever wants it, she will now at
tempt to list a few of the years
productions which can be recon-
mended as thoroughly nice.
There is, then, a book of verse
for the kids by Countee Cullen and
his Cat Christopher, with illustra-
tions by Charles Sebree, published
by Harper & Bros. 1t is the story
of the animals who missed the Ark,
as told by Cat Christopher to Mr..
Cullen, and it is gay and amusing.
Some of the words are perhaps a
bit too long for the very young.
The middle-aged child, say about
10, would seem to be the best sub
ject for this volume, the name Of
which Is 1.-THE Lost Zoo"

pictures that have a real style.
Belinda Blue" by Esther Wood,
with pictures by Theresa Kalb, pub
lished by Longmans, Green. This is
Just an animal story, but its illus
trations are too nice to be passed
over.
Hi, Ho, Pinocchio," by Josef Ma
rino, with drawings by William
Donahey, published by Reilly &
Lee. This is a new story of the
famous puppet, descriptive of his
adventures in America.
All these, as said, are recon-
mended for the young ones who read
pictures rather than text. For ed
ucational purposes, however, there
are also some sternly useful VOL
umes on the list. One of these is
"The Kingdom of Trees" by Erie
Kaufman, illustrated by Calvin A.
Fader, published by Reilly g. Lee,
which has for its purpose to ia
miliarize the infant mind with the
arboreal species. And another one
is Elizabeth, the Tudor Princess, +"
by Marian King, publishd by Fred
rick A. Stokes, a childhood history
of EngIand's great Queen. The re-
viewer is in some doubts as to
whether the youth of knne Boye-
lyn's daughter can re.1y be viewed
as subject matter for the child of the
Goth century; however, Miss Kings
version is quite acceptable.
There has also come to the re-
viewers desk work by Washing
ton author, Alfredo Post Carhart,
published by the author, which tells
very pleasantly the true story of the
authors childhood in Syria.
With these selections, the reviewer
rises and dusts of her knees. The
youngsters will probably pick out
what they want, anyhow.

Library Suggests Books
On Modern Migrancy

"Uprooted Americans" a series Of
pamphlets edited by Benson Y.
Lands, is directly concerned with
the church's contribution to the
lives of migrants. Move On,
Youth" by T. Otto Nall, is series
of stories showing the part Chris
tian young people may take in deal
ing with the problems of youth on
the move. Dorothea Lange's "An
American Exodus" shows excellent
photographs, accompanied by a
brief text, on conditions in the Dust
Bowl and California in the late
1930s. Nels Anderson reviews the
dislocationS which have set agri-
cultural and industrial workers
adrlft in recent years and what is
being done by various agencies to
cope with the problem in his recent
Men on the Move"
In his Migration and Social We'll
fare" Philip E. Ryan presents care
full study of migration in American
life. Paul S. Taylor's "Adrift on
the Land" is an informative
pamphlet which sums up the case
of the migrant and briefly states
the conditions which created the
human river flowing from the
Great Plains to the Pacific Coast,
of which the Joad family became
part in John Steinbeck's THE
Grapes of Wrath" Cary Nc
Williams, author of Factories in
the Fields" writes that, gradually,
the State and the Nation have be-
come vaguely aware that California
agriculture is charged with social
dynamite, and he presents a factual
study of the migratory field worker
in California, concerning both the
historical background and present
conditions.
