Twenty-eight stories are here presented, "selected," Miss Robinson tells us in her foreword, "from the magazines for young people by the advanced class in Juvenile Story Writing at Columbia University." She adds 11 The stories are exchanged and each one passed on by at least three other members of the class before it comes to me." A number of ma~azines are represented, some well known, some less so; some for older boys and girls, some for the younger ones-St. Nicholas, The American Girl, Boys' Life Child Life, The Classmate: We hav~ waked up to the necessity for good books for small children, but the adolescent, so much scrutinized by the psychologists, is neglected by the educators, save in th eory. The rarest genius of writers is the short-story teller, and the rarest genius of all is the one who can write well and understandingly in this form for juveniles. If such a collection as this can bring home to us our need in this line, it will have given service beyond that which evidentlvfrom its foreword-was its main -intention-to entertain the ,,·hole family. and private, give the volume particular interest and value. "Lord Lansdowne. A Biography," was recently brought out by Macmillan. These fine Volumes Underpriced Radically reduced for quick clearance are such excellently printed and bound books as these: THE GANGS OF NEW YORK Herbert Asburv FROM POLAND TO TEXAS The wonderful old trumpet loaned to the children of America by the city fathers of Krakow, in Poland, has reached Texas," on its lon g journey. It is one of those blown for centuries from the tower of the cathedral, ~nd still blown there today. Just as the boy~ in Eric Kelly's book, "The Trumpeter of Krakow," blew the famous hymn, the heynal, to the east, west and north of his tower, so a boy scout in El Paso, Texas, blew it on Noveml)er 29th, to east, west and north from the balcony of the children's room in the library. The boy was Jim Sansbury, tenderfoot scout of Troop 24. Any boy (or girl) of his age will be thrilled by the famous book which won the Newberry Medal for 1929, and can practice the trumpet call himself. LAFAYETTE Joseph Delteil THE REDISCOVERY OF AMERICA Waldo FranA: THE LIFE OF A STATESMAN Lord Lansdowne was never the hero of his own stories, and cheap popularity had no value for him. It is doubtful, says his biographer, Lord. Newton, whether he ever gave a press interview during his long life. Indeed, his aversion to publicity was so strong that he never received credit for many acts for which Great Britain owes him thanks. During the fifty years of his public life he held the four most important posts in the British Empire. Lord Newton has done a splend.id service in v.:riting his life, and the quotations CONQUISTADOR Philip Guedalla LIFE OF PRINCE 'BULOW "The memoirs of Prince Bulow," says the London Observer, "appear to be remarkable from more than one point of v-iew.

Winkler OLD IRELAND A. M. Sullivan. LAMBS IN MARCH A11ne Bosworth Greene By Captain Louis Newcome. New York: G. P. Putman's Sons. 1929. This unusual piece of juvenile literature is not fiction at all, but a genuine though slight addition to the list of authentic recollections dealing with Lincoln. Captain Newcome began his Civil War service at fourteen as a drummer boy in a Boston regiment. By acci~ent he became the bearer of foot, dirty, with bloodstained uniformto the Presid.e nt in the White House. Lincoln was struck with his intelligence and energy, detained him, handed him over to Colonel Sherry of his personal guard, and shortly had him employed. on a· number of secret-service errands. As a mere boy, he was able to escape the suspicion which a man of military age might often excite. He was under the tutelage of Allan Pinkerton, and was often near the President-once with him in the White House when a bullet from some woulJ -be assassin came in through the wind.ow. His ·p rincipal duties ·were in carrying orders to officers in the field, but he also aided in tracking down Southern sympathiz ers in the capital. Mr. Newcome has told his story well, and it will prove of decided interest to all boys. It is tmfortunate that he has not documented it a littlt for the sake of older readers, and that it bears the marks of a failing memory, even in the misspelling of proper names that might easily be verified and corrected. But it is a genuine piece of Lincolniana, and. as such entitled to respect. LINCOLN'S BOY SPY. THE SAVOUR OF LIFE A?·nold Bennett THE HONOR OF DUNMORE.
