From the above heading there appears in one of the reviews for this month a plea for the ejec tion of standard English classes from the school room and the introduction in their stead .of the classics of today. The deviser of this »revolutign- ary educational plan would put away Scott, Dick er®, Thaekery and George Eliot in favor of Edna Fferber, Booth Tarkington, Fannie Hurst and Anzia Yesierka oq the ground that it is'more practical to read books dealing wi|fc present day.manners, in terests and problems than those which describe conditions prevalent in bygone generations. There would he more force in the argumnt if there were any authority competent to decide which of the many volumes pouring from the presses in the present age are the veritable, genuine,' simon pure “ classics. ” But what individual, or what learned body, will have the temerity to venture even to hazard an opinion on so vexed a qu4stion? The only real test of great literature seems to be the crucible of time. Without the prospective which thne alone oan give, it seems impossible to make a final evaluation of literary worth. Who, for example, will claim that Shakespeare’s works seem ed to his contemporaries as they now seem to us? Fifty y ea n after the great dramatist had passed away we find even so competent a judge as Drpden having difficulty whether to award the palm to ShakeaDdrin or to B en -Tobwnon, Literary emancipation is a most desirable thing, but there is grave danger of liberty degenerat ing into license, if every teacher is to select, the subjects of study, or, worse still, if every pupil, as seems to be advocated, >is to be allowed to decide what hooks to read. It essms on the whole better pedagogy to stand by the authors who have been tried and nqt found wanting than to pin one’s faith to books which, however popular at the moment, may prove, after «U, to be bit aa ephemeral ip 1/ V M O uR S ; r ^ â b t Mea who make a very Mette fighting.

Simeon’s close contact W ith >e W hite House spent most of -his waking hoars whooping up a Coolidge boom, i t wee natural to suspect that his outgivings had something lik e tseit approval from on high. * Some writers seem to believe the verbal spanking M r. Coolidge gave Pees on his last visit to the W h ite Hoase was tantamount to a definite announcement that M r. Coolidge positively would not ac cept renomlnatlon. Others have a contrary opinion. JBri*- 1 I Despite the fact that the presi L x J dent had spoken heatedly, he did no go so fa r as to te ll Pees that he would not accept renomlna- o W bS F tton. And whhn Fees quoted him t X R W ii as saying. “ I t won’t w ork oat that way. I won’t he nominated.” It die not appear that M r. Coolidge planned personal intervent to see that It didn’t ••work oat that way.” In short. It continues to appear that M r. Coolidge intends to le t m u tto n take th e ir eonrse.

Brady with blood sUU streaming from his nose and month, was whipped. He lay In his bunk and merely groaned. All his light was gone, and the man, always eager to fol low a show ot Initiative, huddled around, waiting to be told to more.

He was still sitting In the same chair, with his head Parted on hie right arm, the left hanging loose by nls bide. Ode glance told Bronson what was the and would never tost his strength wQh Hurricane again. Polly, her eyes wide with fright, watched Hurricane and ble arm which dangled horribly by his side. For a reason, which she hardly know herself, she rushed qver to Boa, and lifted his arm. The pain ot the sudden movement took the color from bis cheeks, too bone wag broken well above the elbow. “Carry that swine to the to*- castle, where he belongs,** he said, stirring the prostrate Brady with Ms feet, then with a took at the grew as If to challenge any ot them that fait a desire to take the mate’s part, he turned on his heel and walked aft.
