Dr. Stockton Axson, professor of
English at Rice Institute, speaker at
the first fall meeting of the school
executives of Southeast Texas, held
Saturday at tha Texas State hotel, ex-
pressed the opinion that education
today is a cooperative concern in which
the pupil himself takes part."
Dr. Axson believes that the subject
should be so presented that the pupil
displays an interest and of his own
volition moves forward toward prog-
ress. He states that teachers and in-
structors should lie thoroughly imbued
with three ideas. The first is a defi-
nite and clear-headed method. The
second is an enthusiasm for the sub-
ject taught, and the third is thai they
should aim for a combination of meth-
od, enthusiasm, and proper adminis-
tration.

28 Owls are in far off Arizona. The
Rice reserves will again get a crack
brought to a climax.
The plot gains impetus as it
progresses, and succeeds In reaching
one or two rather dramatic points.
Characterization is obviously Miss
Cross' chief interest and she has con-
centrated on this point. The character
of Althea, the mother, is the most suc-
cessful in our opinion. Hor suffering
has reality.
The book as a whole presents a pan-
oramic view of Texas life, customs
and idiosyncrasies. The local color
and presentation of nature are excel-
lent and show the author's thorough
knowledge of the picturesque Texas
landscape.—M. W.
