Willlant Ernest = Hoeking, PhD, was formerly Professor Philosophy at Harvard University. When; his epuntry enteredgthe war he devoted his energies to serving it, and did so by lecturing to the troops in the Fingers print, pencils camps, to the training corps, and to Pens like ink, but bdoks do not. the Yale students, and by writing a . set. of psychological theses for the Infantry Journal for April, 1918. In | addition he wrote articles on the | psychology, not only of the Allied soldiers, but also of the Germans. Now these lectures and articles are presented in book forn# by the Yale University Press, in a well bound, splendidly printed volume.. This learned Professor has split his Siibject, that of morale and the « thi which affect it, into two parts. vIn the first, he devotes his time to making clear the fundamentals upon which morale ig founded. First of all he explains the term and shows how a good state of morale can affect national projects in peace as well as in war. = His main argument for the building up and sustaining of morale is tha the people of the nation must be fully informed as to the national needs and the means by which" they are being met,' He also speaks of many prevalent Y¥mpediments to mor- ale in this same line namely, a failure to rehlize the war; the inherent fickle- ness of the feeling of enmity; the awkward consciousness of our own |effects of the war, how the world's imperfect political righteousness, and | progress has heen changed, and tries the vague and unclear image of the | probe into the future to find what State. the result will be.

After four years of literary inac- tivity, Marie Corelli*has sprung upon the public something unusual in the shape of a novel which is made up partly of incident from real life and the remainder of the most weird ' kind of fictiqq, In this story is read the strange experientes of Diana May, a rather appealing woman of | . forty or more, who has been engaged * for seven years to a young man, only to be ruthlessly Jilted for a younger woman. 1a is for a time hard hit, but devoted. her time to attend- ing to the wants of her parents in spite of their selfishness, and the pleadings of her friend, Sophy Lan- sing, who wishes Diana to join her in London, declaring that "a bachelor woman with two thousand a year doesn't want a man to help her spend it." ©. But she accillentally finds out that they would rather be rid of her, whereupon she departs in a most un- ceremonious manner. Thus ends part one; in eich. the heroine is a plain but sweet pered old maid. From this episode on the story be- comes more or less a fairy tale. There is introduced inw it a remarkable Russian sei who has made some marvellous discoveries and duces Diana to become the medium for his experiments. By a wonder. ' ful process which he has discovered, she comes out of the experiment once and with more than .

His remarks on Ger- many and Russia are pointed and pungent. He says: ed the Czar, a Protestant priesthood the Kaiser,.--both of them a body of flatulent hypocrites and bombastic parasites the like of* which have not appeared in the world singe the time of Nero.

It should be added that these verses are just as appealing to others beside children, and atter studying them, one realizes that these verses for children are quite advanced enough for even the most developed minds, The most imaginative poem in the collection is that which gives the volume its title. In fact, these mu- sical verses contain an idea that is just a little beyond the grasp of the child mind, though thal objection is not true of any of the other jingles.

In addition to pointing out the fal lacies and exploded theories of the war, the writer'lays hig finger upon the things that have been worth while, the things that will endure, and the changes that are going to take place, and are taking place now.
