...swinging meter, an appreciative translation loses interest. Mr. Parson's free verse seems strained and unhappy; the idea of the same poet's "Art" deserves a better expression. Mr. Allinson contributes to the campaign literature of the day, recently dignified (or chinafied, as many have it), by the pen of Dr. Eliot, a glowing eulogium on Woodrow Wilson, "greater chieftain of the higher mind." With this qualifying phrase many Republicans will no doubt agree; the Presidential mind at present is so high that Germany and Mexico have quite lost sight of it.

Mr. Dorizas, though the strong man at Penn., is a weak one with the pen; he seems to have something worth saying, but naturally he is not yet a master of English, and his ideas would be more readable were they transcribed and assorted by an interviewer or correspondent. It is too bad that the classics have been so completely abandoned in this day and time...
