And when he hath a fair skin, he is, as it were, proud thereof, and goeth fast about; and when his skin is burnt then he btdeth at home; and he is oft. for his fair skin, taken to the skinner and slain and flayed. The Personal Equation, by Lawrence Sic Turnan. IL23. Moffat, Yard & Co., New York City. Have you ever thought of the biog raphies you have read and their influ ence in molding your character? Here Is a wise, easily understood instructive book on this very subject, written by an authority who was recently Assistant State Superintendent of Public Instruc tion for Indiana. It appeals to both young and old and has special interest for teachers. Mr. McTurnan remarks, for instance. that the Jesuits acted the part of wis dom when they bade their young scholars to read tbe lives of the saints and that Plutarch, who was a moralist and biog rapher, loved to mingle with noblemen and to draw lessons from their lives. "Tha inspiration thus gained from tradi tion, from history and from association he infused into his writings, which will always remain of great human interest. He has been called 'the father of biog raphy.' " This quotation from Emerson is referred to: "I cannot even hear of personal vigor of any kind, great power of performance, without fresh resolu tion. We are emulous of all that man can do. Life is girt all around with a zodiac of sciences, the contributions o. men who have perished to add their point of light to our sky." An able and scholarly introduction Is given by Dr. James L. Hughes, the well known Inspector of schools of Toronto, Canada. Dr. Hughes' influence as an educator is so widespread that it is seen in the lives and conduct of many young people who once studied under him, and who have since made their homes along the Pacific Coast, not only in British Columbia. 'but In Orepon, Wash ington and California. One of Dr. Hughes' graduate teachers sits at the table with me. as I write this criticism. Dr. Hughes speaks many good words for this book and remarks: "Biography re veals great moral principles and ethi cal values much more clearly and more effectively, than the teaching of pre cepts orTules of conduct. It ls most im portant that boys and girls, during the transition year, when they are awaken ing to a consciousness of selfhood and to a clear recognition of their responsibil ity because of their selfhood, should have the opportunity of reading a great many stories about real men and women. True biography Is the best basis for vital history, and good biographies should form a prominent part of the supple mentary reading in schools. ' The great mythical stories and tales of the imagi nation in which high ethical and spiritual ideals of emotion are represented sym bolically, as Individuals, are the truest stories for young children. The 'Personal Equation' should be an inspiring book to all teachers who read It." The Servian People, by Prince and Princess Lazarovich-Hrebellanovich. Illustrated. 2 valuraes, 5 per set. Charles Scribner's Sons. New York City, and the J. K. Gill Co.. Portland. Probably this is the first time In mod ern literature that such an authoritative official, graphic history of the Servian people, from earlie&t times to the pres ent day, has been published, and as such the two volumes are heartily commended to readers. The mass, of information now presented ls well tabulated, and is enormous in extent. The one cry of the Serbs, along the centuries, to be deilv ered from Turklsrf rule and to enjoy lib erty, finds adequate vent here. As for the many pictures printed, they are well worth attention. It ls shown that the Serbs; of the Slav race, enjoyed and practiced a high civi lisation, and were devoted members of the Orthodox Christian Church, until the Moslem Turks made a conquest of Servia and the Servians, about the year 1459. It ls shown that the Servians are such lov ers of home and their national Indepen dence, that they have never dreamed of conquest over other races, but only want what Is their own. They Insist that the basis of the Ottoman power was the sword and the Ottoman state was and ls an organized theocracy. We are told that In the days when the Turks were su preme, once every seven years Turkish blood tax" collectors swept tnrougli the conquered districts and picked out and took with them Christian male children about the age of five years to Constan tinople, where these children were re named and trained as Moslems to fight for and otherwise serve the Ottoman state. Many Serbs, In this way, arose to high position in the Turkish1 armies, and among these may be mentioned Mehemet Sokoloviteh. grand vlzer in tha time of Sultan Sulezman the Magnificent. One patriotic picture i shown, that of the oak tree at Takovo before the church, where, in the year 1815. on Palm Sun day, Mllosh Obrenovich. unfurled- the national flag and called the Servians to arms, for their final and successful In surrection against the Turks. With one hort interval since then, the Servians have really ruled themselves. But the i books do not only concern themselves ' with problems of government. They mir ror the history, religion, lltcraturs and aspirations of the Sorb.", and the telling Is inspiring. Our authors think that because of the rise of modern Japan to be a controlling force In the Orient, and because the Suez Canal is the gateway to Britain's Indian Empire, that the main etrategle point of the Near Eant, commanding the whole Balkan peninsula, is of para mount Importance, and that it lies in Servia, and that in the hasin of Nish is the junction " the two great. longi tudinal valleys forming today, as they did long ago. the shortest and moet direct highway between Europe and Asia, i A solution of the. Near-Eastern ques i tlon Is shown to mean the unification of each of the Balkan races, and the opinion Is expressed that the unification of the Serbs, Bulgars, RoumMiians and t Greeks into homogeneous entities, would form a necessary bulw ark for defenca i and individual development. American Oratory of Today, by Professor Edwin Du Bois Shurter. $1.fiS. South west Publishing Co., Fan Francisco, Cal. t From both educational and patriotic i standpoints, this book, containing se-1 lected speeches and addresses by some r 200 distinguished speakers from all , portions of the United States, has a I permnnent value, and deserves to have" a large sale. It is meant for the law- I yer. prpneher. lecturer .and Indeed for all vitally and seriously interested in the almost lost art. nowadays, of good, distinct and able public speaking. We are certainly getting to be a race of! mumhlers where speech Is twisted and clipped, so much so that it ls a rare experience to understand all the words uttered by the average public speaker. The speeches, or extracts from speeches, are mostly by living Anier-' leans on subjects that are alive today,, and the South, Middle West, East and,; our own Pacific Coast, are all repre- sented by noted speakers. For In-j stance we find a sermon on "The Lea dership of Educated Men," spoken by Rabbi Stephen S. Wise, formerly of this .city, said sermon being deliv ered at the commencement of the Uni versity of Washington, June 11, 1915,! and an extract from a speech on "Irish Influence in America," delivered by Wallace McCamant, in this city, July 12, 1904. Other speakers, whose words ara quoted, are President Taft, Colonel Roosevelt, United States Senator Bev eridge, Eugene V. Debs, Jacob Riis, Henry Watterson, Clarence S. Darrow, Cardinal Gibbons, Henry Van Dyke, Charles Evans-Hughes, Woodrow Wil son, William J. Bryan, etc. In some cases, opposing sides of a question are argued by different speakers. The book will also be found to possess special value by students interested In declamations and debates. The talent ed author is associate professor of iiuDllc speaking in the University of Texas.

One picture of the many noticed is suggestive of Mexico at the present time;, the caption under the picture reads, "What happens to opponents of Diaz." and five men are shown shot, while a crowd of soldiers looks on. The sense of the book is that the people of Mexico do not want Diaz any more at the head of the government. But what will happen to life and property thera when the said Diaz is no more?

The book is translated from the German, has reached its 85th thousand, but for ob vious reasons, its message cannot be accorded an extended newspaper review.
