David Garnett's "Sailor's Return," an amusing and well written story, describes strange events in a quiet English village. "The Constant Nymph" is one of the most pleasant and vivid stories that has appeared for some time, and will make everyone hope for more novels by Margaret Kennedy. D. H.

His knowledge of esthetic principles is little above that of the average policeman. He emerges from the university blind to the best things of life, and he will blind his readers to them"-Professor Nelson Antrim Crawford, Kansas State Agricultural College...

Professor Holcombe's "Political Parties of Today", for example, discards, in its very logical history of Democratic and Republican politics, all forces less constant than King Cotton and King Corn.
