Reverting to prose: J. S. Watson, Jr., in a resume of Professor Muensterberg's book misplaces his emphasis in dwelling on points which he finds extravagant. If the book be for the most part "sane," why not convey that impression? "The Spirit of Satire" is better; it exemplifies the serious prose which befits a magazine with intellectual readers. Still, one should, not begin with Greeks and end with grunts. For R. W. Chubb's statement of "The Position of the Internationalists of Europe" the reader will feel grateful for a timely, informative article. There is but one story; better...

The first is, if not profound, at least refreshingly sane and balanced in these days when to be young is necessarily to be decadent--or one would imagine so from recent Monthlies. The second, apart from a shabby and sentimental plot, possesses, in dialogue and description, a sense of actuality of life on the East Side of New York that...
