The Novel and the Modern
World
By DaDid DdicheS. Chicago:
UniUerSitu of CHICAGO Press.

By David DaicheS. Chicago:
University OF Chicago Press.
This is a book OF critical essays
dealing with the work of a group
OF novelists who, in the opinion of
the author, have made lasting
contribution to modern literature.
The group includes John Gals
worthy, Joseph Conrad, Katherine
Mansfield, James Joyce, Virginia
Woolf and Aldous Huxley. The
author is an Englishman He is now
on the faculty of Chicago University
in the English department..
His essays are in the main clear
and well-reasoned. They have none
of that disturbingly turgid quality
which is so often the property of
professional criticism. They are
readable. They seem, however, to
be pretty academic in their pro-
cedure. They are concerned with
the development of the writer under
examination along some conven-
tionally defined literary path; they
seldom seem to grasp a writer in
his entirety. They are dissectional
rather than interpretative.
However, many of the conclusions
are sound, when the author finally
arrives at them. He finds Virginia
Woolf dull, for example. So obvious
point would hardly need much
of an examination to justify it, but,
in view Of the reverence in which
Mrs. Woolf is held, it is good thing
to find some one who sees her
realistically. Likewise, Mr.. Daiches
hits the nail very neatly in his
estimate of Aldous Huxley, of whom
he says that "the evolution of the
Huxley hero is one of the most
instructive phenomena in recent lit
erature." About Joyce, to whom he
gives three long chapters-the most
space accorded any author in the
book-he is, unfortunately, less
happy. He adds to, rather than
dispels, the confusion surrounding
the prophet of the literary fourth
dimension. He attempts to track a
path through the Joyceian mazes
and gets rather badly lost himself
in the doing For the rest, it is un-
noteworthy, though entirely read
able. NC. r.

Love in the Sun
By Leo Walnlsley. NeW York:

SSS~Sl wv WV " W.
Love in the Sun" is strange but
inspiring reading in this modern
world. On the Cornish coast you
do not find the maelstrom of hu-
manity of New York or a London,
yet love is universal, as Mr.. Walms-
ley proves, and he presents a true,
simple example to show that love
still rules the world. There is de-
scriptive beauty in his lines; there
is suspense, drama, excitement.
One must read Love in the
Sun"-the story of a man, a wife,
a child and, above all, a home, a
future and, of course, anxieties-
to renew his faith in this world.
The story is a realistic idyll to all
who will want to hear, listen, un-
derstand and be happy.

For Students
Underway

The Diversified Occupations pro-
gram of the Henderson high school
is we'll under way, according to q
recent announcement by Robert Z.
Harrison, director Of tine course.
This is the second year for the

The program, part-time coopcrd-
tive training class in which the COM

facilities in giving high school STU
dents vocational training, had good
success last year. Ten students who
graduated last year have found per-
manent jobs in their chosen occupa-
ton.
Sixteen students are already en-
rolled. Among the occupations rep
resented arc motion pictures, dr.
cleaning, printing, plumbing, retail
selling, auto supply, textiles, rcStau-
rant management, meat cutting and
floristry. Efforts are being made t.
place several girls in commercial
training positions.
Mr.. Harrison also stated that hi
department will present in these
columns a weekly article on the &C
tivities of one of his Diversified Oc-
