In ths sprig ths young man’s

thoughts of—a new poetry masa-
sine. Again / we acknowledge, a
"Vol. 1. No. 1," the new publication
being “Pan,” a monthly issuing
from Box 73, Notre Dame, Indiana,
discloses to the reader such inti-
macies as young Jefferson's wager
with a Miss Altos Corbin of a pair
of garters. Ths book is of added
attraction because of numerous
illustrations of Monticello. Its
grounds, facades and plane.
And from Chapel Hill; N. C.
comes the new tosus of “Tbs Re-
viewer," a month late, but, we think,
worth the waiting for. The issue
carries on the tradition of the Rich-
mond editorship by striking a sane
balance between critical and crea-
tivs writing, though somewhat less
"modern" (whatever that may
mean) than it was at one time. We
feel that the editor Is riding no par-
ticular hobby; that his ons concern
is with excellence of material avail-
able for publication. That It to a

FUGUES FORMATION OBSERVED

BERLIN UD—The oldest known
musical manuscript has been de-
ciphered by Dr. Nurt Sachs, music
historian at th* Berlin University.

cuneiform ideographies inscribed on
clay plates, and was found at As:
sur in Asia Minor This music is
said to date back to ths second cen-
tury V. C. Half tones ars not em-
ployed at all, but five tones of the
seals are used in fugue formation.
The accompaniment to the melody
is furnished by a harp of 11 strings,
for which double stops ars frequent-
ly prescribed
ers, such men ae Carl Sandburg,
Vachel Lindsay, Edwin Markham
and witter Bynner. "Pan.".net con-
tent to print a dozen pages of verse
ushers in, too. what it terms "a new
prose form." The journal is flushed
with the glow of youth and ballye
hoos merrily at the cosmos; ws ars
still undecided whether ths pen-
and-ink Pan on the title page ie
piping on his roads er thumbing his
nose at ths universe. It is possible
that he doss both?
In tims for ths anniversary last

foot Agency in Montana Beside It.

Anemic: here is realistic fiction with
a vengeance. We’d like to bs in a
position to require every writer of
cattle stories to pass an examina-
lion on Andy ‘Adams before he
writes a word That’s what we
.think of "The Los, of a Cowboy."
And to think that we might have
read it twenty years ago!
A volume which should hold at-
traction for all students of English
literature, and for all teachers of
ths subject, is “An Atlas of English
Literature" (Century), by profes-
sors from two Virginia institution*
-C. T. Goods of the University of
Richmond, and E. F. Shannon of
Washington and Lee. The book pre-
sente nine detailed mapa of Eng-
land, Ireland, Scotland and London
showing places of biographical and
literary significance in these locali-
ties during different periodo and of-
fers. toe. complete summaries which
serve ne a guide to the mapa. The
intent with which the volume' la
prepared is made clear by a quota-
tion from Henry James which the
authors offer on their title page-
"We know very little about a talent
till we know where it grew up."
A now light on the state of lttera-
ture roundabout; Sallie Graham Stice
of Cerulean. Kentucky, that ardent
champion of a half dozen young
writers, tells us that each week she
ramble* by the beams of the Lan-
torn, "through the literary south-
land. ’ Yes, sir, I stoutly aver that's
the adjective. The south is very
literary: • it's like Charles Lamb’s
music— full up since so little had
ever broken loose. But never mind:
were coming."

of English at Vanderbilt taken ex-
ception gently to our statement in
a recent Lantern that Ellen Glab-
sow ie “Barren Ground" Bad

has been writing realistically of
Georgia towns for years—and at
once we admit it. For that matter,
we admit, too, though not chal-
lenged on this phase, that Ellen
Glasgow had turned many a simi-
lar trick before she wrote "Barren
Ground."
Readers interested in knowing
something of the great magazines
of the country, their editors and
policies, will want to know of
“Some Magazines and Magazine
Makers" (Stratford), by John Drew-
ry of th* Henry W. Grady School of
Journalism of th* University of
Georgia. The volume answers the
sort of questions which frequently
come our way and, too, in calculated
to be of value to women's clubs and
writing groups. Brief sketches of
some score of writers best known
in the magazine field add slgnlfl-
cance to the volume for the gleaner
of facts about contemporaries.
In an editorial in the Saturday
Review of Literature, Henry Seidel
Canby (at least we think it’s
Canby) pays a very fine tribute to
Joel Chandler Harris . whom he
calls “The Snap-Bean Sage." Be-
lleving Harris "one of our greatest
truly American writers." Mr. Canby
nevertheless finds him “as native to
a period as the hoe-cake, the yel-
low yam, the chincapin, end the
museadine." As for ourself one of
our strongest yearnings for an
earthly immortality'- comes in our
desire to live long enough to Intro-
duce every youngster who deserves
it (and they all do) to Uncle Re-
moo.
Mllen Glasgow, her home, person-
ality. and craftsmanship ars ths
subject of a paper by Great Over-
top in the May “Bookman,” which
all readore of Miss Glasgow's “‘Bar-
ren Ground” will riad significant.
Ons bit of information we gleaned
was particularly welcome; the fact
that a collected end definitive edi-
tion of Miss Glasgow's work is pro-
vided for. Overton finds ths Rich:
mend writsr ons who is "a part of
everything that goes an and that
rare thing, a woman with whom
you can really hold a conversation."
