press," etc. And Doubleday's books are in favor with the boys : " Cattle Ranch to College,"

" Stories of Inven tors," etc. I could mention those of some other authors, but the need is greatly in advance of the supply.

Children frequent the libraries to-day for reading their own papers and magazines. The New Patriotism should have a magazine able to compete with St. Nicholas, The Youths Companion or The American Boy. Of course, all this would require money, for our best writers must be well paid, and it requires a great and peculiar talent to write children's literature, or to write well about chil dren. I regard the death of Myra Kelly as an incalculable loss to the peace cause. Her essay,

4< The American

Public School as a Factor in International Conciliation," should be in the hands of every public school teacher.

And right here I want to suggest that, along with essay contests in our normal schools, there be estab

lished, as a stimulus to reading, a " Peace Prize Contest "

in all the summer training schools and amongst the teach ers at work throughout the year in public schools. Also, that a course of study on international peace be estab lished in normal schools and in teachers' training schools.

The teachers in our public schools are, as a rule, ig norant of the main facts concerning the peace movement. There are so many subjects and duties crowded upon their attention and time that they are loath to take up anything new even in reading matter, so that a forceful arrest of attention is necessary. Nothing is more needed at the present time in the school peace movement than a well-edited and attractively illustrated monthly periodical adapted to the interests of teachers, backed by a vigor ous but tactful campaign of getting it into the hands of every teacher, or at least a few copies into every school.

This " bloodless revolution " in school matters will necessarily be slow, but the most hopeful sign for us is the recent large donations of money for carrying on the educational part of our work. It is inspiring to believe that there will be money for directing our literary experts and best story writers into the ranks of international

peace work. We look forward to the coming National Peace Congress as a grand time for our leaders to evolve

plans for gathering in the forces that will make most for foundation educational work.

New Books. Universal Peace?Wae is Mesmerism. By Arthur

Edward Stilwell. New York : The Bankers Publishing Company. 1911. 179 pages. $2.00.

Mr. Stilwell addresses a heterogeneous series of short letters to King George of Great Britain, Emperor William of Germany and Czar Nicholas of Russia, to all of whom he recommends at the outset the appointment of secre taries of peace to take the place of their secretaries of war, to help the world get rid of what he terms the "mesmerism of war." He writes with mingled good humor, cutting sarcasm and moral appeal. He makes use of facts, statistics and Scriptural quotations to sup port his points. He deals with the cost and waste, the

injustice and folly of war, contrasting these with the

blessings of peace. Some of his chapters relate to pres ent day questions, like our policy towards Japan, the

Monroe Doctrine, President Diaz and the development of South America. Incidentally he praises the colonial

policy of Great Britain for its law, order and peace.

Import and Outlook of Socialism. By Newton

Mann. Boston : James H. West Company. 336 pages. Here is a condensed, clear, thoughtful presentation of

the rise of Socialism, its present status and future prob able development. Socialistic theory is related by the author in a practical way to living questions like universal peace, the enfranchisement of women and the problems of the church. Socialists are shown to be an international

party, a fellowship of the toilers of every land, who, with the growth of coming social-industrial interests of man

kind, will abolish war and war preparations as inconsistent

Christ's Social Remedies. By Henry Earl Mont

gomery. G. P. Putnam & Sons. New York and Lon don. 1911. 433 pages.

The author has two chapters of special interest to students of the peace movement. These are " Non-Re sistance

" and " International Controversies." Both are based upon Christian teaching, make use of the latest material on these subjects, and show good ability in

handling the ethical questions raised. Among other topics that are treated are "Marriage and Divorce," "Wealth," "Labor" and "Sunday Observance." In these the writer combines scholarly treatment with a readable style.
