dp all the belligerents oifgngod in the tremendous Tjiiro
pean strife Russia is unquestionably the most hated
and feared of alb Even here in America, Avhovo a great
debt of gratitude is dub to Russia for her moral support
to the United States during times of great national stress,
there is a deep prejudice and little sympathy Aw the Rus
sian arms. 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

world's masterpieces in literatuiv.
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

LIKE'1 NOBLE 600'
LONDON, Sept. 3 The Dally Malt
correspondent behind tho llrlttsli
lines describes the charge, of tho
N'lath Lancers, which occurred nt an
unnamed snot during tho rveeitt sets
les of tactical retreats, as a second
Onlaktava. Ho Bays:
"Tonlblo hnoo had been rnlisod
In our raukR by shells from a battery
of eleven German riuib posted lit a
forest near tho Jlolfilati frontier.
"It seemed lnios.lllo to vlleuco
their rtro until the Ninth l.nncors
made their attempt, riding straight
nt thn guns after debouching Into
the open nud charging under a hall
of mellnlto ami Ijililltc,
"They rcnchcil their goal, kllleil
tho gunners and put tho guna out
of action. Then like their prototype
of llnlnklnva they rodo back.
"On the return they felt In greater
number from tho attack of tho other
Herman batteries, posted n vantage
point around the valley.
"Notable bayonet charge wore
mado at (namo deleted) Wednesday
last. Several Itrltl'li Infantry regi
ment occupied an exposed poiltton
around which the Hermans gra'dually
circled, drawing tho nooso closer and
closer.
"Tho Ilrltlsli decided to cut their
way through the cordon. So tho
mon went at It, yelling and shouting
and got through, although tho Ger
man artillery mowed them down
frightfully.
"The German machine guns havrt
been tremendously etfectlvo In all
engagement. Men who saw tho
South African war sny tho hottest
firing there was childish compared
with what tho Ilrltlsli troops havo
undergone since arrival In Prance.
