Jchiis: An Unfinished Portrait, by Bev.
Cliarlcs Van Norden. D. D. 51.30 nL
Punk & Wagnall Company. New York
City.
For 35 years. Dr. Van Norden has
studied and reflected on the career of
Jcsue, from a standpoint of scientific
accuracy and yot with deep reverence,
and he now gives his word picture,
tender, loving and sympathetic. The
descriptive style used Is so simple
that u child can understand what is
meant, and the view given of Jesus
is that h was not a mighty eccle
siastical personage such as the thcolo-
j flans might have us believe, but a
real man, wno uvea tnis me una w.is
mate of his nature and no history ot
his career can be anything but ro
mance which does not start from the
human, the dally, and the limited in his
story, and -which does not pursue the
theme with reverence for natural , and
spiritual law, with fidelity to the can
ons of biographical criticism and with
absolute loyalty to the truth."
Dr. Van Norden thinks that against
visible Christianity the three powers
of Anti-Christ have been dogmatism,
ecclesiasticism and capitalism. How
would Jesus view the modern system
of capitalism if he were living on this
earth today? "It is hard to say." Is
the author's cautious answer, but he
insists that modern wealth has fur
nished for the churches a new form of
Anti-Christ, and that capitalism Ik
now Just as effectually defeating the
purpose of the teachings of Jesus as
did the Inquisition and the hierarchy
in former ages. The title of this book
is suggested by an incident In the Hf
of the great painter Leonardo da
Vinci, who for ten years labored on a
master painting, the subject being
Thi. r-nsL Sunner." He painted the face
portraits of John. Peter, Judas and the
others of tbe uiscipies, uui mc
of the Master baffled him. He at last
abandoned the task, and ultimately a
less cons-clentious hand lintsneu me

The HUtory of American ralstlng. by Sam

Macmlllan Company. New Tork City.
America is slowly coming Into her
own in all that relates to art and
painting. It is only recently uiai ini
country has attained full rank among
the powers ot tne worm. v e
first to subdue the forests and fight
v- o limine-. Tho development of the
fino nrts had to -wait. Indeed, this
viinnmint has not yet reached com
pleteness. It has been said that one
does not have to be beyond middle age

painter. Yet, Morse was a student
under the celebrated West, the almost
legendary founder of tno craiL nau

Tt t notabl that Mr. Isham's book
of 573 pages brings together for the first
time trustworthy materials for a history
of American painting. It is an edition de
luxe, and happy Is he who can afford to
Twelve full-page photograv
ures and 121 Illustrations in tnc text are
given. The letterpress work Is of the very
best, and the storied pages ought to make
enthusiastic those whoso aestneuc crav

of logioal development, but ias continu
ally deserted one set of models to follow
another, retaining at each change hardly
any tradition of its former ideals. Thus
it divides itself with distinctness Into
three periods the colonial, the provin
cial and tho cosmopolitan.
Mr. Isham sensibly says that he has not
attempted the ungrateful and impossible
task of recording the names and works
of every meritorious American painter.
Yet In his pages one does not miss appre
ciation of any artist whose name Is well
known In this country, the principle Is set
down In this book that the fundamental
and mastering fact about American paint
ing is that it is in no way native to
America, but is European painting Im
ported or rather transplanted to America
and there cultivated and developed. This
1s a saner basic truth than to say that
by instinct Americans discovered an art
all their own and were creators. It is not
too much to say that at least" wo owe our
fundamental laws and art to England.

The earliest artist In America whose
works are known and of sufficient merit
to warrant serious consideration, remarks
Mr. Isharo. was John Smybert or Sml

It Is amusing to read of the early strug
gles of the Quaker painter. Benjamin
West, who was born in 173S at Springfield,
n little Pennsylvania settlement- He b-

he was 6 years old. A year afterward a

painted their ornaments. His mother fur
nished him with indigo, the cat's fur was
clipped to make brushes and with the aid j
of such crude materials young West j
painted his way to fame.
Now and then Mr. Isham writes with '
remarkable bluntness. For Instance. In
speaking of Sully who lived until 1ST2 J
he writes: J
Sully's portrait of Queen Victoria showed I
jus skiii in arrangement, lie Had to na nt a
short, dumpy young woman with retreating
chin and protruding eyes, with no majesty
and wltb not much comeliness except her

Mr. Emery is an attorney who prac
tices law at Everett. Wash., and he has
written a concise and useful manual
of the law which the explorer of min
eral lands requires to observe In se
curing rights in' hiH discoveries. How
many times have prospectors in the
depths of Oregon's mining regions
wondered Just what their rights in
law were, and wished they had a law
yer near. This book of 2S pages Is not
of course, better than having a real,
live, argumentative lawyer on the spot,
but It's the next best thing in moments
of perplexity or when one casually
wishes general information regarding
mining' property, from a legal point of
view. The book has been compiled with
care and Is a sale guide. Tho autnor,
it is noticed, had had recourse to the
standard works of Barringer & Adams,
Copp, Morrison, Xdndlcy and others.
He tells of geology and minerals; the
mineral lands of the United States
and how to acquire them; statutes of
the United States; Land Office regula
tions; coal lands; laws of theso states
and territories: Alaska, Arizona, Cali

of this theme, and what he has thus
written cannot fail to find response in
this garden region of the Pacific Coast,
where so many make their living in agri

dealing in livestock.
- No multiplication' of references Is
given to weary the reader. Mr. Burdlck
is disposed to look charitably upon all
beliefs, however crude, which at any
time have Influenced human conduct, be
lieving that the widest possible latitude
should be allowed for the exercise of In
dividual opinion. Many curious customs,
probably as old as the race itself are no

plowing is unlawful on certain days be

six days in every month; In Yorkshire,
Encland. where it was considered un-
wis to disturb the earth with spade or
plow on Good Friday; la Ireland, where
a plowman, seeing: a man with whom he I In
wished to converse standing at the end j
of hla furrow, took pains to turn his I
horses around so that their tails should
be toward this man, "aa then they were
considered safe from any possible be

New Tork City.
It Is left to the abllitv and cleverness
of a Portland teacher, Mrs. Kathcrine E.
Sloan, one of the teaching staff at the
Ladd School, to write two books which
good judges say contain the moat rational
and successful method of developing prl
h mary reading found anywhere in this
country. The method gives courago
alike to teacher and pupil, and power Is
developed accordingly. It is true that
these books are not at present officially
among those used In the public school
of this city. The reason la that tno
books were not published when the last
offlda selection of books to be used In
the Portland public schools was made.
J Such selection will not again occur un
! til about July. but educators In this
I city and elsewhere are confident that
1 Mrs. Sloane's books will then be on the
board's new selection list. At present
many teachers In this vicinity Itave al
1 ready procured couples of the books out
of their own private funds, and so much
have the" been Impressed with the metn
od used that they are teaching It In
Portland schools this season. Tho books
are officially used In the public schools
of Clark County. Washington, and Pen
dleton, Or., where they are very highly
i recommended.
j Mrs. Sloan !s a well-known teacher In
I this city, she having taught the first or
primary grade for 13 years in the Jortn
Central School, and for 2li years. In the
Ladd School. Her father, the late A. K.
Craig, was the author of a book of con
siderable note In its day. "The Philosophy
of Training." Mrs. Sloan's residence is
5SS East Oak street, this city.
For years Mrs. Sloan was impressed In
her school work with the Idea to tind a
primary reader which would give the
child the Independent power to read with
the least labor and in the shortest tlm".
She marched particularly for a phonic
method, with the lessons so arranged that
they could be taught by th word or sen
tence method, which as a nrst step snouw
precede all others. She realized that the
worLs should be dealt with as whole.
with no reference to their elements. She

Intelligently any reading matter, the
thought of which Is not beyond his com
prehension. From Pendleton comes a letter stating
that a teacher recently finished both of
Mrs. Sloan's readers and wheelers

where number and language work were

Victor to Victor.
I am o worn and weary with this life;
Take. thou, my shield.
Defeat Is better than unending strife;
Come. thou. I yield.
Victorious wreaths upon your panting breast
You may unroll:
For me. the vanquished, life hath lost its
zest.
And seeks no goal.
But. hold! I shall not so in battle fall.
Once more the helm
I firmly grasp and furl defiant sail!
Unto that realm
Where heroes bide I point my vessel's prow;
And though I fall
Before. I win the coast, I yield not now,
Nor yield at all!
