New Books at The Institute ART TRAINING FOR LIFE AN INDUSTRY by Charles. A. Bennett, “A book on art appreciation.” . s 0n BY INTERVENTION OF PROVI- DENCE by Stephen McKenna. “Using the central idea contained in diary entries of a trip to the Ba- hamas as a starting point for his Iit- erary ventures, the author embarks | on a series of leisurely discursive jour- neys made up of brilliant speculations and observations of fellow travelers, amusing essays, short storles and dia- logue.” A. L. A. Booklist, « s e THE CHARACTER OF PAUL by Charles Edward Jefferson, Pastor of the Broadway Tabernacle, New York. “The author says of his study of Paul: ‘For thirteen years of my life, I made it a practice each year to carry away with me for the summer one letter of Paul's and make it my daily companion. I read the letter agaln and again. 1 read everything of value on the letter which I could find; meditated on its contents; pon- dered the problems it suggested; com- muned with the spirit of the man who wrote it and finally made out a list of a hundred questions for the assist- ance of my people in their study of it through the following year. Jn this way Paul became to me more and more a living man’.” ) CLOTHES THAT COUNT AND HOW TO MAKE THEM by Bradda Flelds “There is no problem connected with clothes that is not solved by this book and its diagrams, It contains all that the amateur dressmaker needs to know and much that many profes- slonals would benefit from. 98 COLONTAL INTERIORS by Leigh French. “A beautiful book of photographs and measured drawings of the Colon- fal and early Federal periods, . .0 COUNTRY FOLK by P. H. Ditchfield. “The author writes of the ‘Main Street’ of England but with none of the cyniclsm or disillusioning irony of a Sinclair Lewls, but rather with the general warmth and cheerful en- thusiasm of one who has lived among the country folk for years, learned to appreciate and to love them, to under- stand that which is praiseworthy, pic- turesque and unusual in thelr manner of life, and to look with eyes of kind- 1y criticism upon all thelr folbles and fallings.” . .. EACH IN HIS OWN WAY; NAKED; AND THE PLEASURE OF HON- ESTY; Three Plays by Luigl Piran- dello. “In all of these plays we have the fresh, original and startingly unusual art of Pirandello, with its strange un- derlying mood compounded of toler- ance, laughter, irony, awe, and even terror, which can be compared with nothing except itself. ‘Each in his own way' is the drama of the presen- tation of a play. ‘The Pleasure of Honesty' shows the life of warm hu- manity rising clear and hopeful from o drib morass of ‘conventional moral- ity, ‘Naked’ is the drama of a wom- an's attempt to make herself ‘Some- hody' instead of the nobody which Fate has mado her.” . v e EDITING THE DAY'S NEWS, George .

A | osopher applies to Goetlie, as he has 'to Shakespeare and Dante, the prin- ciples of his aestigtics, omitting all blological details and directing our attention solely to Goethe's poetical personality and the devglopment of his art. Goethe’s masterpieces, and his less successful works, are dis- cussed with masterly touches in the light of Croce’s theory of the ‘essen- tially lyrical quality of his art.’ v e THE® HIGHLANDS WITH ROPE AND RUCKSACK, by Ernest A. Baker. PR E FOOTSTEPS OF THE LIN- LNS, by Ida M. Tarbel!l. “Miss Tarbell has investigated the earliest members of the Lincoln fam- Hingham, Mass., through New Jer- sey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana and Illinots. She finds new and - entertaining anecdotes, but her most important contribution is to- ward the destruction of legend of the ‘shiftless’ Lincolns. to have been sturdy men of ability, usually well-respected by their neigh- bors and townsfolk. The book is notable for its illustrations, which are especlally interesting and valu- able.”—Outlook. . John Ervine. “This play carries on the fortunes of the principals of Shakespearc's ‘Merchant of Venice' 10 years after the famous trial, and by a series of amusing twists Mr, Ervine has turned the tables and plled the sympathy of the readers upon Ehylock. The theme is the innate nobility of Shylock and the innate smallness of those char- acters who securcd their moment's trilumph over the Jew at the trial. It 1s a daring cxperiment, but quite justifies the liberties the author has taken." . e LIFE OF SIR WILLIAM CROOKES, by E. E. F. D'Albe, “A vivid picture of a very great man of sclence und of an unusual and not wholly attractlve personality. Crookes' unwearicd patience in exe. periment, his meticulous accuracy in observation, his marvelous ingenuity in devising methods and a gift for seeing the unusual in (what had passed for obvious, lod him far into discovery. His imagination directed by logical reasoning made him a true prophet of the future. He will live in ‘the history of physical science as almost the greatest of the Victorians; and those who take pleasure in (studying the bewildering complexities of human nature will have a peren- nial subject of interest in his person- ality."-—~London Times Literary Sup- plement, Y MODERN IDEAS IN CHESS, Richard Reti. “Retl is in the front rank of mod- ern chess masters, and anything which he might have to say about the game would be of groat interest to players. He traces the develop- by |ties from the time of the great An- derssen by describing the contribu. fion of each of the great mastors and fllustrating his statements through a eritical examination of some of their . v MY UNIVERSITY DAYS, by Gorky. An account of the author's youth and early manhood, his intellectual, social and philosophical develop- ment. . . . NEGRO POETS AND THEIR POEMS, by Robert T. Kerlin. “An authology of contemporary nagro poetry which makes two cone. tributions of real significance to the progress of inter.raclal understand- ing. In dealing with the things of the spirit it reveals to the negroes themsclves a whole unex- plored region of spiritual treasure of |which we know altogether too little; (and It reveals to white America that |the negro thinks and feecls, aspires and achieves even as his white neigh- |bor” * Maxim “« e |THE OLD AND THIE NEW MANY, by John Firman Coar. 1(;m-mrmy. has here produced a keen and reliable account of German con- ditfons and affairs before, during and ’nflt‘r the war. (pretensions of Germany's ruling | classes clearly and forcibly, setting |forth the realities of political, eco- nomie and social evolution are be-| !ing retarded, if not made absolutely {futile and hopeless. by forces and conditions over which the German people have no control.” RER Ol TWARD BOUND, a play by Sut- ton Vane. “A unique play with a philrmmhy that will provoke violent controversy. The story is that of a strange com- (pany of shipmates, mystified by a !vaguely oppressive fecling of unreal- |ity and uncertainty, who suddenly | discover that every last one of them |8 dead.

His ex- position of his ideas is always simple, clear and direct. He bases his ap- peals on the fundamental relations and needs of humanity, and stresses the importance of both employer and employee basing their attitude to- ward each other on the Golden Rule and each trying to understand the | difficulties of the other.” P PRODUCTION OF 300-EGGERS- AND-BETTER BY LIVE BREED- ING, by Atkinson and Curtis. « 3 SOME MEMORIES OF THE CIVIL WAR, by George Haven Putnam. “Major Putnam adds another vol- ume to ‘Memories of My Youth' ‘A Prisoner of War in Virginia,” and {*Abraham Lincoln,’ books covering the same ground as that with which the present volume has to do. g His | personal accounts of battles w be useful to historians and agreeable to his readers. He writes of editors, war governors, secretaries, merchants, | manufacturers, anmd other notable ‘Men Behind the Guns' whose activi- ties helped to save the Union though they, were not actual combatants.” s o s SUMMER CAMPS I'OR BOYS AND GIRLS, by H. W. Wack. s s e TEXTBOOK OF AGRICULTURAL BACTERIOLOGY, by Felix Lohnjs and Frederick E. Brown. s s e TOMB OI" TUTANKHAMEN, by Howard Carter and Arthur C. Mace. “This is hte preliminary volume in, a history of the tomb and its eon-i tents. | Mr. Carter adds little to what | is already known about Tutankha- | men, but his words have the stamp of first-hand knowledge and the grace of a sympathetic style. A story of buried treasure of the Spanish Main lor in an invented island turns to air beside the account of the accldental discovery in Egypt which brought back a whole age to the world's at- tention and gave the press something vastly entertalning to write about. There is a blographical sketch of Lord Carnarvon which shows his lordship to have been one of that ex- traordinary race of Englishmen which is passing with the great estates, whose kingdom is the world.” P | WHAT, WHEN AND WHERE FOR THE MOTORIST, by Frank Wen- o e N VHITE WOMAN AMONG THE| MASAIL by Margucrite Mallett, “The author lived among the Masai for nearly three years. The greater part of the nurrative is an account of | her hunting experiences, and the fllus- trations are mostly pictures of her many kills, 8he deseribes the for- esty, camping in the jungle, the ani- | mals and insects cncountered, and | something of the life and eustoms of the Masai.” .
