A EEE — 
Albert Cunningham has kindly given 
to the library *‘Among School Gar- 
aens,’’ a very practical and instructive 
povk. ‘hose wishing to add to their 
knowledge on this subject cannot do 
pecter than consult this work. 
*“Vhe Career ot Dr... Weaver’’ ‘by 
Mrs. Henry Backus is a novel having 
much to do with the medical profession. 
Dr. Weaver is a throat specialist in a 
large city. His brother, also a doctor, 
is his assistant. ‘The good and the bad 
of the profession are strongly coutrasted 
in this novel. A love story runs as a 
slender thread through the book. 
ye Ves Byes’? by Henry Sydnor 
Harrison, author of ‘‘Queed’’ is a very 
good work of fiction. V. V’s Eyes are 
the eyes of a young doctor of socialistic 
and reforming instincts. Carlisle Heth, 
the beautiful young daughter of a 
wealthy tobacco manufacturer, up to 
the time that she met Doctor Vivian 
had led the life of a social butterfly. 
Her views of things are entirely chang- 
ed through the influence of this young 
man. ‘T'he author in some places sacri- 
fices clearness to his fondness for mak- 
ing bright epigramatic remarks. 
““Sylvia’’ by Upton Sinclair, author 
of the ‘‘Jungle,’’ is one of the new 
books. It is a strong novel. ‘‘Sylvia’’ 
is a very fine character study. Most 
of the novels of this author are written 
with a purpose. This story reflects 
rather strongly on the way young wo- 
men are educated along sex lines. The 
book reminds one of Ibsen’s ‘‘Ghosts’’ 
in the lesson it tries to teach. 
A story by Winston Churchill is al- 
Ways welcome. ‘‘The Inside of the 
Cup,’’ his latest, is a very vigorous 
up-to-date discussion of the relation of 
the church to modern society. Eldin 
arr, the rich man who runs the church, 
his daughter Allison and the Rey. Mr. 
tiodder, the minister of the church, 
are unusually good character sketches. 
The solemn argument over religious 
questions is relieved by the telling of 
the love story of the minister and Alli- 
son Parr. 
“The Long Way’? by Mary Imlay 
Taylor is the story of two sisters, one 
giddy, thoughtless and selfish, the other 
self-sacrificing. The influence of the 
goodness of the one reclaims the other. 
** Michael’’—the latest work of Mrs. 
de la Pasture, author of ‘‘Master 
Christopher’’ and many other stories— 
is a well-written novel. Michael is an 
agnostic and talls in love with a de- 
vout Koman Catholic maiden who will 
not marry him till he accepts her faith. 
The hero comes in contact with another 
virl besides his lady love who has a 
great influence on his life and is by all 
means the best character in the book. 
‘The Nest’’ is the title of a book 
of short stories. They are all rather 
unusual in character but only used to 
be read to be appreciated. 
Among the younger English poets, Al- 
fred Noyes ranks high. He has been 
speading sometime in this country and 
1asv wmOuth received a degree trom Yale 
University. He has written four vol- 
umes OL poetry. 
“he snchanted Island,’’? a volume 
of lyrics, ballaas and sougs, has been 
5”) 
added to the library. ‘‘'the adventures 
OL Dr: 
Whitty’? by G. A. Birmingham 
is a humorous Irish tale. ‘the Doctor 
is young with not a very large practize. 
1e spends his spare time in trying so- 
cial experiment in the little Lrish vil- 
lage where he practices. His zeal often 
outruns his judgment and some of his 
adventures are ludicrous in the ex- 
treme, but withal very laughable. 
‘“he Surgeon’s Log’’ by J. Johnston 
Abraham is the very fascinating record 
of the experiences of a young ship- 
doctor. He started from Glasgow and 
went to the Kar Hast, stopping at 
Penang, Maiacca, Singopore, Japanese 
ports, Philippines, Java and many other 
places of interest. 
‘‘Lite of Octavia Hill’’ by C.. EHd- 
mund Maurice, tells us much about a 
very attractive character. She had 
much to do with improving the London 
tenaments. She was a great frieud 
of Ruskin. 
‘*,he Valliants of Virginia’’ is a 
Vhe author 
** Hearts 
real good Southern story. 
is Halle E. Rives who wrote 
Courageous. ’’ 
‘*Vanishing Points’’ by Alice Brown 
is_a collection of good short stories. 
They deal with New England charact- 
Man in the _ Cloister,’’ 
“¢Mother,’? and ‘‘A Man of Feeling’’ 
are among the best of the stories. 
‘“‘The Great Illusion, a Study of the 
Relation of Military Power in Nations 
to Their Economic and Social Advan- 
tage’? by Norman Angell is an unusual 
book. It is a strong presentation of the 
case against war. ‘The work has had 
an enormous circulation. 
We are told much about the Rise of 
the Dutch Republic in its history by the 
American historian John Lothrop Mot- 
much 
6rs.2-o The 
ley, but very few of us know 
about its fall. Hendrick Willem Van 
Loon in his ‘‘The Fall of the Dutch 
Republic’’ gives us in a very clear 
manner many facts about the Dtuch 
Republic in its declining years 
The ‘‘Patty’’ series of stories for 
girls by Carolyn Wells has always been 
popular. All of the ten volumes may 
be had now at the library. 
‘“The Judgment House’’ is the latest 
work from the pen of Gilbert Parker, 
author of the ‘‘Seals of the Mighty, 
and other novels. It will add to his 
reputation as a writer of good fiction.

ed to the library is given below.
