The booklet contains an address delivered by Viscount Grey at the
Harvard union, December 8, 1919. He enumerates a number of
things that make for happiness of which one is a degree of leisure
and knowing what to do with it. He speaks of the forms of recreation
most enjoyed by himself, certain games and sport and gardening but
most of all books read for pleasure. Enjoyment of nature also finds a
place and calls up a memorable walk he took with Colonel Roosevelt
for the purpose of observing birds.
“In depicting the incident [of Roosevelt’s visit] Lord Grey allows
the Baconian clarity of his earlier pronouncements to take on poetic
warmth and color.”
“The one who has attained such an appreciation of the real place of
recreation in life deserves to be called by a word which is very
frequently abused—‘cultured.’”

Milt Dale loves the silence and the romance of the mountains.
There he lives in solitude, hunting animals for his food, and finding
thorough happiness and contentment, until accidentally he
overhears an unscrupulous plot against the property and safety of a
young girl, newly arrived from the East. To save her and her sister he
hides them in his woodland camp, entertaining them with hunting
trips and riding expeditions to keep their minds from brooding.
When, however, Helen Rayner and her pretty sister Bo leave the
camp, Dale finds it an empty, unsatisfying place. And Helen, mistress
of a great ranch, which a conscienceless “greaser” is trying to take
from her, keeps longing for the lonely man from the mountains. Her
troubles reach their climax just after the long winter, and Dale,
coming out of the forests, helps her in the most terrible moment.
“Bo’s cowboy” is instrumental in completing the collapse of the
“greaser”; and afterward, Dale’s camp witnesses an unusual
honeymoon.
“Few romances make better business out of the wilds of the West
than Mr Zane Grey: and he is well up to his mark in this stirring
tale.”

The first two chapters of the book are devoted to the author’s Swiss
ancestors, their home in Switzerland in the shadow of the mountains,
where it was finally burled by an avalanche, and later their American
home in Pennsylvania whence they had brought their customs and
traditions and, above all, the fairy tales of their native country. Some
of these tales are: The wonderful alpine horn; The mountain giants;
Two good natured dragons; The frost giants and the sunbeam fairies;
The yodel carillon of the cows; The fairy of the edelweiss; The alpine
hunter and his fairy guardian; The white chamois; The siren of the
Rhine.

“In writing for, but not down to, young people, I have dwelt rather
upon what was visible to, or interested, the Pilgrim boys and girls.
Yet I have endeavored, also, to make clear the formative principles
and impelling motives, as well as conditions and events; and this
without any special interest in genealogy.” (Preface) One of the
objects of the book is to show that the Puritans were “bona-fide
everyday Englishmen” and to further a deeper unity and closer co-
operation between all English-speaking people. The religious motive
prompting the Pilgrims is also emphasized. A partial list of the
contents is: How the world looked long ago; A mirror of English
history; Fun and play in the old home; A girl’s life in merrie England;
Puritan, Independent, Separatist, and Pilgrim; Brewster: the boy
traveler; Bradford: boy hero and typical Pilgrim; The decision to
emigrate and why; The new world: America; The first winter and the
great sickness; The Pilgrim republic; The Pilgrim inheritance;
Chronological framework of the story of a free church in a free state;
Index; Illustrations.
“Dr Griffis writes with enthusiasm, his writing discloses the most
careful study of his subject in its every phase, and especially does his
familiarity with the places trodden by the Pilgrims appeal to the
reader.” E. J. C.

of Illinois “is intended as a text for use in normal schools and

psychology and theory of teaching and the special work of practice
teaching in manual and industrial arts.” (Preface) Contents:

Industrial arts; Instincts and capacities; Application of the principle
of apperception to manual and industrial arts teaching; Interest and
attention: Individual differences: the group system; Correlation and
association; The doctrine of discipline: Types of thinking inherent in
the manual arts: Teaching methods in manual and industrial arts;
The lesson; its component parts; Class management: discipline;

two appendices devoted to Special method procedure and Type
outlines.

“‘The lure of the manor’ reads unevenly and strikes the reader as
being considerably too long. Strengthening of the story could be
obtained through elimination of that which gives an impression of
being artificial and exaggerated.”

This adventure story of the South seas has two mysteries, the
mystery of “Lady Mary” who walks up out of the sea and the mystery
of Ku-Ku’s island. Lady Mary is suffering from amnesia. She doesn’t
know who she is or how she came to her present plight. All that she
can remember is a meaningless string of words, which her listeners
rightly interpret as the directions for finding the half-legendary Ku-
Ku’s island, reputed to be rich in the valuable red shell that passes as
currency in the islands. The three men, with Sapphira Gregg and the
girl from the sea, set out in search of it and then begin their
adventures on the terrible island. In the end they conquer all
obstacles, including the mysterious blindness that inflicts those who
land on the island. Lady Mary’s memory is restored, and two
romances come to a satisfactory conclusion.
“It is a capital tale, quite novel in its plot and incident, and with
amusing character depiction as well as the thrill of adventure.”
“She shows her tact in the touches of individuality that she gives to
characters who have to be drawn broadly. So much is she in
sympathy with them, and so clearly does she see the situations in
which they find themselves, that they come to respond by creating
their own difficulties for her to write about. This seems to be the
secret of her fertility of invention. For a lady not in her first book she
is most prodigal of her good things.”

“They have the excessive cleverness of the young writer, who will
not tell a plain tale. Nevertheless the book is full of vitality; and
readers to whom this quality, even if it goes with some immaturity, is
the all-important one will enjoy the book.”

“At least the first two plays are distinctly above the average in their
realistic dialogue. The eloquent and sympathetic introduction by
Professor Baker, of Harvard, adds to the value of the book.”

GUILLAUMIN, EMILE. Life of a simple man;
tr. by Margaret Holden. *$2 Stokes
“The good brown earth, the sheep and the swine; stretches of
sparkling, bedewed meadows with perfumed masses of golden
broom, white daisies and honeysuckle.... From such a background
Emile Guillaumin has drawn ‘La vie d’un simple.’ Small wonder that
a simple man speaks from its pages. The book is called a novel. In
reality it is a biography and, as it happens, one with only a slight vista
into the realm of Eros. The author tells us that Tiennon is his
neighbor, but it is suggested in a foreword by Mr Garnett that
Guillaumin has attempted a portraiture of his own father. At any rate
it is interesting to observe that the book received an award from
l’Académie Française in 1904, and that the author is a peasant,
unschooled, in our modern sense of the word, whose life has been
spent in a town of some 1,800 inhabitants, and who has ‘remained
faithful to the soil’ in spite of literary laurels.”—N Y Times
