New Sonnets

A new volume of sennets by
DR.. Glen Levin Swiggett, 1920
Twentieth street NV, has
just been published by the
Sewanee University Press. Dr..
Swiggett is a former professor
at Sewanee.
Titling his book "The Un-
timely Dead" DR.. Swiggett has
made it an appraisal in verse
of a list of great personalities
who died too soon to realize
fully the promise of their per-
Sonal genius. His list runs
through such romantic sinners
as Abelard, Byron and Boccac-
clio and such sturdy saints as
Thomas, a KempiS, Francis of
Assist, and Cardinal Newman.
The wide range of his classical
interest gives him as subjects
such generally unsung figures
as MaSaccio and Camoens.
1.-THE Untimely Dead" is DR..
Swiggett's fourth volume of
verse. The others were The
Way of Life" now out of print,
Spiritual Sonnets" and Step

Penn Warren. the critic and
poet, has cited the authors

(not especially controversial.
though rather a letdownD is
to raise teacher salaries, in
order to attract better (and
less gulliblel teachers.
Mr.. Woodring. professor Of
psychology at Western Wash
ington College of Education
and a one-time high-school
teacher, states better case.

bad as Mr.. Lynd does nor so
good as some educators claim.
He agrees that teacher train
ing should be improved. SAL
aries raised and curriculumS
reviewed. But his main con-
Germ is that citizens decide
what they want the schools to
do. Without such a decision,
examining the curriculum is
pointless. With it, the schools
can be- pulled out of current
confusion and made better.
Mr.. Woodring is both better
informed and more temperate
than Mr.. Lynd.

One of the privileges Of
Americans is to criticize their
public schools. Unfortunately
the criticism is not always as
fair or as intelligent as 1t

According to Mr.. Lynd, a
Sharon, Mass, school board
member, American public ed
ucation currently is suffering
from the domination of a cult
of fuzzy-thinking, progress
sivist superprofessionals who.
to put it simply, are against
the three RS. These profess
sionals, he says, have no use
for subject matter, discipline
or prying school boards. but
have set up a socialized real
needs curriculum, focused
teacher training on "piff1e"
and enshrined the late Prof.
John Dewey in place of Cor at
least along With God. Only
the remnants of the teaching
old-guard have saved the
schools from going completely

says. What, he wants to

Those who agree with Lore

ably not be smitten with the
exhibitions of jewelry in con-
temporary idioms at Ursells,

yer, combined with copper or
polished brass, wood (includ-
ing cocktail toothpicks), dino
saur bone, leather thongs and
other materials, none of such
intrinsic worth that the owner
could use them as hedges
against a rainy day.
The value of these avant-
garde pendants, earrings,
brooches, necklaces and rings
lies in their design, which is
unusual, to understate it. That
they are popular in some. in.
tellectual circles is attested by
the fact that the designers are
kept busy. Furthermore, these
artists have impressive back
grounds of education, museum
representation and prizes.

When, only II years ago,
our Army declared the horse
obsolete and mechanical the
remaining cavalry. a glamor-
Gus arm of the service vanished
into the mists of a chivalrous
past.
The Army began to move
entirely on tires and chains.
There wasn't much color left.
You might admire and well
come a column of tanks or
armored trucks, but you'd
never feel the same thrill that
tingled from your toes through
your scalp when you saw a
troop of horsemen charging
at a gallop, their pennonS
f1uttering, their officers sabers
flashing. Can you imagine

Or Won Suppe an overture

Its MiIitory importance
But the cavalry. as this abb
sorbing book will tell you,
was much more than a spec
tacular military adjunct that
drew cheers at parades and in
war went dashing around
hanks on mysterious missions.
It was an integral part of our
fighting forces that dis
tiuguished itself in all our
wars. Nor are all our military
men reconciled to the loss Of
horse cavalry. Gen. Herr.
who was the last chief of
cavalry, points out that we
would have been better off
with some regiments of horse
in Korea. The enemy used
horsemen in that terrifying
mountain terrain and very
effectively. The Russians still
have a lot of cavalry.
It had been all right to ridi-
cule cavalry, the authors say,
"And how would the men of
other units have felt about
these quips at the cavalry
when they were nearly deci-
mated by Red guerrilla cav
airy during the retreat from
the Yalu River . . 2"
In World War II there were
frantic pleas" for horse cav
airy from our field command

Italy, but to no avail. Not a
few military men believe
horse cavalry will be re-
stored some day. when the
Pentagon finally realizes that
a jeep can't go everywhere and
horsemen still have a mobility

placed.

Childhood

Period Piece
BY Gwen Raverat.
(W. w. Norton; s3.75.J

Ds Ws ANOsSOS1 p0'W.I ts1
Gwen Raverat's reminis-
cences Of innocent merriment
in her Victorian childhood
partake of the qualities of the
age, in that they are we'll
upholstered, capacious and
Ieisurely. The granddaughter
of Charles Darwin. she grew
up amid a bevy of aunts and
uncles who had the time,
money and conviction to culti-
vate their eccentricities. They
were all militant hypochon-
driacs. Aunt Etty perhaps
took the prize in vigorous
competition. She would always
wire guests to take a later
train than planned to give her
time to put them of in case
she was not well.
The Darwin children grew
up in Cambridge, loved, pro-
tected and overdressed. 1t
was a sure world of tennis
parties, parlor maids, dancing
classes, enormous meals and
the cult of the appearance of
things. In this connection,
Mrs. Raverat's account Of her
long apprenticeship as a child
chaperone is particularly di-
verting. 1t was her job to
hang around and discourage
any manifestations of passion
hot that any one doubted
the integrity of the counting
couples, mind you, but "it
might set a bad example" to
the lower classes. For nearly
70 years." says Mrs. Raverat,
"the English middle classes
were locked up in a great
fortress of unreality and pre-
tense; and no one who. has
not been brought up inside the
fortress can guess how thick
the walls were, or how little of
the sky outside could be seen
through the loopholes."
Period Piece" is an amusing
and affectionate inside story.
