Unpublished Letters
OF Charles Darwin
CHARLES DARWIN AND THE
VOYAGE OF THE BEAGLE


VOYAGE OF THE BEAGLE
Edited By Lady BarloW. phil
osophical LIBRARY; $3.75J
In this volume are 80 letters
which Charles Darwin wrote to his
sisters and father while on his
epoch making voyage on the Beagle
together with the "a small note
books in which he entered the
memoranda which later went In
expanded form into his Journal
Parts of eight of the letters have
been previously published. The rest
of the group has not before been
given to the world. The notebooks
are published here for the first
time. There is, however, no material
of historical value in the volume
except as one sees through the let
tiers and in occasional phrases OF
the notebooks the impulsive and
impressionable side of the young
man who in later life was to be-
come the awesome scientist.
The letters are written in the
frankest possible tone, crying out
with enthusiasm over new sights
and experiences, bewailing the
writer's inability to be economical
with money, frankly admitting
homesickness. They are strictly
orthodox in all general questions
and particularly in the matter of
British superiority; they show us
a Darwin who in spite of all
temptations remained an English
man. When one puts this con-
formity against the later facts OF
his career one feels inevitably a
certain pleasure.

impressions: % More and
more publishers are putting
out more and more books for chill
dren, and CD emphasis on educa-
tional values is increasing.
Lacking any ready means of tab
ulating the years crop of juveniles,
I can only guess that it must be of
bumper proportions. But as to the
greater interest in educati tional
qualities, guessing is unnecessary:
convincing evidence is spread out
on my desk at this very moment.
And today-the beginning of Chill
dren's Book Week-and also the
eve of National Education Weeks
the best of all possible times to ex-
anime some of that evidence.
Well, there is, for instance, "The
Golden Encyclopedia" by Dorothy
A. Bennett tSimon e. Schuster;
$3.50. Into its 125 large pages is
crammed a wealth of information
on a multitude of subjects-enough
data, surely. to satisfy the most
fact hungry boy or girl. There are
more than 1000 excellent illustra-
tions by Cornelius De Witt, better
than three-fourths of them in full
color The subjects are arranged
alphabetically, of course, and there
is a convenient index. If had a
son or daughter from. say, 6 to IA,
I should certainly add this husky
volume to my Christmas list.
Less elaborate. but equally val
liable in their field, are the dozen
volumes of the True Nature
Series" Encyclopaedia Britannica;
so cents each): Animals of the
Woods" Gray Squirrel" Snap
ping Turtle" Water Birds" Black
Bear Twins, Three Little Kittens"
Pride, the Saddle Horse, "Shep,
the Farm Dog" Goats and Kids, !"
Adventures of Bunny Rabbit" !"
Animals of the Farm" and "Ele-
phants." Each paper-bound book
combines action photographs and
text to form an interesting and in
structive story.

Georgia S Governor
Pens d Vital Book
THE SHORE DIMLY SEEN
BIZ Ellis Gibbs ArnaH. lip
nincOtt.. S3.)

By Ellis Gibbs ArnaA. 'L'p-
pincott;; s3J
In his term of governorsnlp OF
Georgia, Ellis Gibbs Arnall wrought
some revolutionary changes. he
did a lot of modernizing. Inc
States finances, its public educa-
ton. it's penal system, its very con-
stitution came in for streamllnmg
under his vigorous direction. He
eliminated the poll tax and he nit
at the Ku Klux Klan. Retiring
he considers his achievements and
sees them as part OF a necessary
Southern program if the South Is
to keep pace in progress with the
rest of the country. Accordingly,
he writes his credo down. This book
is the statement. 1t is an enlght-
ened political document and one
which the pessimists who sigh over
the passing of Jeffersonian democ-
racy ought to take to heart.
1t is impossible in the scope OF
A brief review to give a full report
On Mr.. Arnall's program but, IN
the main, one can say, ne Is a
decentralizer. He disbelieves in
Federal overlordship, which he
holds unfair in practice, and puts
his faith in regional plans based
on natural resources and embracing
industrialization, agriculture, roads
and education. The Southland
also the West-he says, has a cry
ing need for improvement in all
these fields but the present methods
of Federal aid have made the cost
too high. AS result, both South
and West lag behind the rest OF
the country-are in Colonial"
condition, to use his word for 1t.
The people of the regions must
themselves demand an intelligent
and enlightened development OF
their possibilities.
On the Negro question, Mr.. Ar
nall is progressive. He calls for
improved Negro education and OPP
portunity, but also reminds the
North that its own attitude toward
its colored citizens leaves some
thing to be desired.
On the whole he has written a
vital and modern book. 1t marks
him as real political personality.
Reading 1t, one cannot think that
one has heard the last OF him.

never cured cancer. If only people
would realize that neglect is the
thing to fear, because cancer can
be cured if it is found in its early
stages.
There are only three medically
accepted ways to treat cancer
They are surgery, X-ray treatment
and radium. Only doctor knows
when to use which of these meth
DDS and how to use them. If peo-
Pile would ONLY visit their doctors
or go to the clinic instead of talk
ing over their ailments and trying
home remedies, so many lives
could be saved that are now lost
because cancer was allowed to de-
velop to an advanced stage.
Of course, it is hard for people
to know that they have cancer be-
cause it does not begin with a
pain that clearly indicates some
thing is wrong There are certain
signs, however, which should be
watched, and if any of these APP
pear a doctor should be consult
ed Immediately These signs do
not necessarily indicate cancer,
but if cancer is present treatment
should be begun at once under
good physician.
Usual Symptoms
Among these danger signs are
Irregular bleeding or discharge
from any natural body opening; a
painless hump or thiekening IN the
breast, lip or tongue, and persist
ent Indigestion. A visit to the doc
tor oi. to Il clinic will result in an
examination to find out whether
cancer is present.
Cancer is caused by the uncon-
troIed growth Of body tissues
which have normally ceased to
grow. fhis growth may result
from constant irritation OF some
kind or, among women, from IN
| Jury at the time Of childbirth.
Cancer is not inherited and 1t
is not catching. 1t is not danger
