Xet .Russia hits jjtjt an example in the most recent bulletins front $t. Petersburg for candor and vor acity that might, well be emulated by the other belliger ents. From Russia comes the candid announcement thai Rus sian arms in East Prussia has received a most serious repulse and the destruction of two army corps and the loss of three brilliant generals. Most, refreshing candor and honesty this, in view of the garbled and evasive reports of the war emanating from the capitals of the other belligerents, who grossly exaggerate, their successes and remain most sullenly silent in disaster. Whatever the outcome of the war, let it be said for the Slav that at the outset he has set a new mark for candor and truth in Europe under the most, pain fulci rcumstances. The Teaching of Literature (Ily J. TJtwrence Hill) Literature N the e?cncc of hu manity. It U the highest and mbit pcrmnnent expression of man's intel lectual and moral life. Hooks are htimanitv boiled down. The study of the embodiment of nil that i best and mo.st enduring in the history of ,ilie human race its form ni well us its substance ought to be, one would think, Recorded the highest place in any liberal curriculum. Literature, tlie mentrum of all knowledge, the mc'linm of all thought, the world's grcatct storehouse of fact and in ppiration shall not literature overtop all the sciences alid arts, in the sys tem of education T Shall we not de mand, as the first requisite of cul ture, n knowledge of the great cwrh mnking bonk.s in all language, of lit erary form, of odiom, of stylet But how L it, in fnct, with our cd ucatorsT Have they made litcniture a subject of paramount importance? On the contrary, t is the most ne glected and abused branch of study, at least in American school and col leges1. Where it is taught at nil it is only taught partially and inadequate lj" What n farce is the teaching of English literature in most of our higher institutions of learning. How limited arc the periods, nnd how few the books, laid under tribute. The student is like a sw.vllow skimming over the surface of n deep river. A dip here and therq, a mere ruffling of the surface, and then away, without so much as a moment's paqsc to look down into the fathoms of clear water beneath. What can a student learn of literature in the brief time and by the summary methods devoted to the subject now in vogue in the ran; jorjiy of our school nnd colleges? And, English literature is only one section- of the broad nibjeet of liter ature. Why EugliHh literature? Why not universal literature? Are all the world's great thinkers nnd poets, and tlifl jvo'Hd's great books to be found nowhere outside of the English speaking nations? I)y no means. Even among modem nations we An-glo-Snxons cannot boast the only lit erature. Wherever there is n lan guage with a structure, there are books with which the highly develop ed, intellectual man should bu ac quainted. There is neither sense nor reasrni in drawing the line at Shape sienrc and shutting OHt Dante and uoethe simply becauso lliey are not English. What the thorough nnd sin cere student of literature desires to beeritne familiar with are the world's great books and thinkers, irrespective of Jatlguage or race. Every year the number increases 'of young men who apply for some sort of special nnd thorough tram ing in literature nnd culturo at the doors of our lending educational in stitutions. They are offered the choice between an exhauitiV philo logical coume in Anglo-Saxon, Old forse, Gothic gnarled nnd vener able Toots of the (Enslish language or a more elegant course of the Kng lirdi masters in prose mid verxc from Chaucer down to the present time. Both courses nro good so far us they go; but both are narlial utid in adequate for a person who desiies (o make literature tho study and busi ness of life. What seems to be demanded is a (U'(arlnienl of literature wide enough to take in Homer and Itrowning nnd deep enough to include something of the' philosophy bf Jiterriliire in the hroadesi meaning of that term. Ruch a rourso would appeal to men whose philological t ruining has been com pleted advanced students who have rend Home of the besj Oreek and LfttiA poetfi in the original, and who I...1.J" '.? ,'..r'f....i r.X'.i in.

The first step, of course, would be n thorough acquaintance with the great works ot genius in universal litera tim. n task which of itself should consume far more time than is now given to rhetoric and English eonio sition combined. Then should follow a course, of lectures on the philos ophy of literature, including such pnrliculnrx as literary ethic, style. laws of poetry, etc. Kiniill the course should cnlminale in criticism and production, the chief study throughout being the prepara tion of tho student to do literary work artistically, conscientiously and effecthely. There is far too much slipshod, rnrclcsH writing in this country today, both on the part or teachers and students in ordinary composition nnd in corrcsMiidcnce writing that depraves literary tnste lectual work. If we are to hate an American literature in the immediate future there must bo some influence set nt work which shall counteract the effect upon our coming writers of the present vitiated style of fiction and jirfetry, and the absence of pre cision nnd grace in didactic prose. This influence evidently can proceed only from thh schools, It should oh lain in the form of n literary train ing so broad, so thorough, so inspir ing as to produce n school of mod em American writers whos works shall rank with tho classics. This may not be accomplished nt once, but the resnlt would be accumulative. We might not have a Shakespeare or a Milton in n hundred years, but wc shall very soon have something bet ter and more enduring than sensa tional noclists nnd decolletc-scnti-mental poets that now burden us. Why shall not literature be taught? There is the demand for it on tho jiart of nil over-increasing army of young men nnd women who are in terested in literature ns the sublimest of studies, tho most beautiful of arts. Here is the supply grand libraries, grand thinkers, scholars, authors, cnticM -fully qualiticd for guiding investigations aiid developing the tal ents of their pupils. Here are tho great institutions of nrning, and the money to establish the needed pro fessorships. May wo not hope that in the near future it will be (audit more seri ously and earnestly than ever before in nil our schools nud collescs. There are already silent nnd outsKikcu ad vocates of this new novemcnl in nil our cjlurationul centers.. The need of a better literary training, not only for literature, but for lawyers, pub lic sjicnkem, ministers, teachers, is getting recognized. What institution will take the initiatl,-) in this direc tion? AUSTRIAN IIS AT GAHARO FAIL HOME, Sept. 2, 10:20 p. m via Paris, Sop(.
