A mlmi book may be true most iliimimbly true it mav bo b-lllinnt. imaginative compelling, convincing; nil this nnl makes its minus quality the more certain, for it -is art enlisted in the service of the enemy of mankind, who Is nlvvnys elbowing its into the dough of despond Nor is a plus book that dcnilly thing, nn improving book; for he who counts his gnins in his rend ing like n trndcsmnn the bnlnncc of his ledger, should be deprived of the sweet uses of literature. V plus book Is one that adds something to the clarity of our vision or to our charity toward men. It is a book which helps, which vital izes and ennobles: not one which kicks, debilitates nnd unnerves.

CKOTIIKUS Whose new volume nf essays Is de lightful reading , Crotliers' ndvieo to the efficiency ex perts is sadly needed and nothing could be neater thnn the sntlrc of the ex pert' extension of his "methods" for the shoveling of clay by Sobrlnsky nnd Flaherty, with the noted cnpnclty of shovel nnd wlicelhnrrow nnd the time needed t() move n hundred cubic feet of the same, to (Jooilvvin nnd Urovvn, trnnsfeters of literature by means of dnilv themes into the minds of so many freshmen in n given period of "loading and dumping." IN ONE of the most significant of these essays, Mr. Crotliers pays nttmtlon to that current topic, the Pilgrim Fathers. Tlicte is much more thnn liloiisnntrv in his criticism of our '-iuie.il extension oiuie motives nnil times where they do not belong. And the vivid picture of the Puritan spirit which lu draws, especially in its em phasis on the stnte and Its certainty of his subject, airing neither, but lleht ing his path wth the steady glow of the one and the iniuneiitiiry superilluiulnu tlon of the other, ns required. A TIMELY word, too, is thnt on the "I'nprepiiredncss of Liberalism," in which tho nuthor calls seriously into question the notion thnt it 1s to the revolutionist n'one thnt we owe hiimnu progress. Wlselj does he ndmonlsh us thnt jou cannot tear down jour house nnd continue to live in It, or lenvo it unrepaired nnd not bo nltimntely driven out of it. Moreover, it is not the house that Is in need of repnirltig, it Is the mnn himself; nnd to kill him or leave him to his fate, neither is to cure him. Like all true idealists, Mr. Crothers Is discouraged with the surge of materinl ism, selfishness and pettiness which is now engulfing our struggling world. And American leadership in all this is not enchanting. Hut steadfast, ns n mnn of high hope, he writes of ns nH "in the dnvvn of a new day" In which, true to our essential nnture, we shall jet take up our responsibilities.
