The logs were coaxed to the edge by workers in canoes, but sev eral swimmers assisted. Sometimes the logs bucked and shook their riders off Into the chilly water. President Foster was one of the star members of this crew. Apples, peaches, cherries, prunes and pear trees were planted to the number of 130 at various places on the campus by another committee.

Second, it sets a new standard in the fine arta of portraying life dramatizing it into prep talc, throbbing reality in one are superlatives, but I know of no other way to vent my enthusiasm. Then, too, I am a little impatient that American critics are so slow to rec ognize that Mr. Tarkington stands head and shoulders above all contemporary writers. His technique, his writing methods, are years in advance of present-day story-tellers. My. students In the professional magazine writing courses give more attention to Tarking ton than they do to Poe, Hawthorne anJ De Maupassant heaped together. "The Turmoil" will stand the test of a great book. The "Tired Business Man" will revel in it. The school girl will find it the most charming love story she has read in months.
