PAGE FOUR _ Many who enjoyed "Wild Geese" will be glad to hear that its author, Martha Ostense, will publis a new novel, "The Dark Dawn," in October. Others, though they are more of the "old guard," who will contribute novâ€" els are Willa Cather, G. B. Stern and Joseph Hergesheimer. Archibald Marshall who d_ellghta few rather than the many, has a novel, ready for October, it is entitled "The Allbrights" and is written in the vein of the earlier stories. The new publishing firm, the John Day Company celebrated‘ its bow to thep ublic with the appearance of "The Music from Rehind the Moon" by James Branch Cabell. The book treating of a country which one susâ€" pects is located somewhere in the viâ€" cinity of the famaus Poicteeme to which Mr. Cabell has just bidden adieu, was printed only in a limited edition of 3,000 copies. James Normal Hall is one of those writers whose gift seems to li¢ in beâ€" ing a peculiarly sensitive barometer to things about him, in recording the most delicate pressure of the atmosâ€" phere which would not have been perâ€" ceptible to us even had we been there. So his books of travel become not a poor and tasteless substitute for havâ€" ing done the thing ourselves but a series of delightful adventures which we could enjoy in no‘ other way. "On the Stream of Travel" is a colâ€" lection of ‘sketches, some of which; have appeared before in magazines, whose scope takes us from Iceland to the South Seas. For Mr. Hall is one of those fortunate men who may be sitting in Iceland in the morning, and if his fancy dictates be on his way to a tropic isle by afternoon. We who have roots which must be dug up and hacked off before we can so much as move a hundred miles from our place of residence, sit listening with a wonâ€" dering and worshipful envy in our eyes. [ And no telling what he may be eduâ€" cating us to in the future, for it was through just such worshipful envy that he received his wanderer‘s eduâ€" cation,. In perhaps the most delightâ€" ful of all these delightful essays he tells us of the "Stockyards School" where during the most impressionâ€" able years of his boyhood he studied under ‘"itinerent professors, some of them the most delightful and instrucâ€" tive men it has‘ been my fortune to meet in the teaching profession"â€" members: of that romantic, commerce and commonsenseâ€"defying band called hobos. . In his style touched with the most delicate humor he gives us the very essence of that universal thirst for adventure of which a railroad with its shining narrowing rails, or a freight traincreaking and lLumbering steadily olng is the veritable epitome. "ON THE STREAM OF TRAVEL" Stephen McKenna who has before been successful in writing triologies has resumed this former habit in or works of more than one volume "Saviours of Society" which is the first part of "The Realists." C Mn McKenna who has been zoing! steadily downward in the quality thoi no in the quantity of his production | of late years, has in "Saviours of Soâ€" . ciety" made an attempt to grasp at| something more vigorous.

Davis, Secretary of Labor who has written a stirring article for the current number of the National Republic on (the subject Secretary Davis emphasizes. the importance of the proper training of our children along: patriotic lines and declares that the future of civilization: rests with America. The secretary says: "I believe that every child should recéive & high school education, that he should be taught a trade by which he can earn a living and that he should be instructed in the eternal truths of religion. My, great work in life has been to see that our youth recéive a proper training to fit them for the performance of the necessary tasks of existence, and to make of them loyal and patriotic Americans. $ For the Children "We can never do too much for the children of our nation. . The Talmud declares that the world is saved by the breath of the school children, and in this declaration is heard the voice of wisdom..‘ In every generation there are great statesmen, thinkers, artists, inventors, warriors, persons of high and needed excellence. But none of them remain jn the world long. The years of a man are only three score and ten. And sometimes when a great man dies, we wonder whether it will be possible to replace Who will do our thinking for us, who will make the great scientific disâ€" coveries, who will invent new maâ€" chines or improve the old ones, who will inspire mankind to new heights of ‘endeavor, who can be trusted to conserve the gains that have been wrested from nature by the past? We shall be here only for a little while before we go to join the "silent maâ€" jority," and who will take up the burâ€" den when we have laid it down? . It is these children to whom we often pay such slight heed that will sucâ€" Hands, Says Secy. Davis; | We Fitted to Assgume Grave Duty? ceed us. <They are the ones who will do the thinking and inventing and all the dther necessary work of life in a not remote future. It is the children of today who will save the world if it is destined to be saved. In Hands of People "There is reason for thinking that the future of civilization is now in the hands of the Amgrican people: The World war left tfie _Old World stricken with an all but fatal wound. Itg people are burdened under the wéight of a mountain | of debt. In some places pessimism tends to be the créed of the hour. Never before has the responsibility of America been so great.
