COOPER, JAMES A. Tobias o’ the light. il *$1.75 (2c) Sully
20–9142
Tobias is the light-keeper in one of the Cape Cod lighthouses. In addition, he is a born matchmaker, and when Ralph and Lorna declare they will not marry each other, although—or perhaps because—their families urge it so strongly, he tries to patch up their difficulties by telling each that the other is in financial difficulties. Their pity and chivalry aroused, all might have gone well, had it not been for the bank robbery, of which Ralph is suspected. When Lorna believes Ralph to be the thief because of his need of money, Tobias feels that perhaps he may have overreached himself in his stories. But fortunately the discovery of the part Conny Degger, Ralph’s enemy, has played in the whole affair, puts the matter to rights, and the prospect is bright for Ralph and Lorna, financially and sentimentally.

COPE, HENRY FREDERICK. Education for democracy. *$2 (2c) Macmillan 370
20–8371
“Democracy is more than a form of government: it is a social ideal, a mode of life and a quality of the human spirit; therefore it cannot be imposed on a people; it must be acquired.” How it can be acquired and how our educational plans and ideals can be made to express personal-social values and a common good will in all phases of life is the subject of these essays. A partial list of the contents is: Education in a democracy; Democracy as a religious ideal; The spiritual nature of education in a democracy; Beginning at home; the public schools and democracy’s program; Spiritual values in school studies; Organizing the community; Democracy in the crucial hour.
