'. Dr. Shaw stated that Congress in its present form has outgrown its usefulness as far as construc- tive legislation is concerned. Un- der the present system of short terms of office, the congressman finds himself continually . under pressure from lobbies, and finds it necessary to devote much of his time and thoughts to campaigning for re-election.

"BOOKES NEWE & OLDE""The Companionship of a Good Book is Better than the Company of a

Thousand Men"

By EDWIN OSGOOD GROVERProfessor of Books, Rollins College, Winter Park, Florida

If you are thinking of starting arevolution you should at once pur-chase a copy of Roger Shaw's"Handbook of Revolutions" whichhas just been published by the Re-view of Reviews Corporation. If itdoesn't tell you how to do it, it atleast tells how it has been donefrom 73 B. C. to our latest and big-gest_"the Roosevelt Revolution,"which is now in progress. It is avivid story which presents a pan-oramic view of twenty revolutionsthat have helped to make worldhistory.

* * *Fanny Hurst in introducing John

Ersldne, who is "guest editor" of-the March issue in "The GoldenBook," thus cleverly describes him:

"He is a best seller, a raconteur,a wit, an epicure, a Ph. D., a pres-ident of an international musicschool, an honorary citizen ofBeaune, France, a Chevalier de laLegion d'Honneur, an executive ofthe American Council of LearnedSocieties, a poet, a hero (andheroine) worshipper, a travelerwith a perpetual nostalgia forbeauty left behind, and a zest forthat ahead. A merry gentleman.A literary critic "with a mind in hisheart and a heart in his mind. Alusty laughter. A devastator ofladies' clubs. A professional pian-ist in amateur's clothing. A fellowwith a hungry heart and a greedyjainA and an avid appetite for"beauty."

Those who heard John Erskinewhen he appeared on the "Rollins

Animated Magazine" three yearsago will recognize the truthfulnessof the above portrait.

* # *

At a recent auction sale in NewYork City a single autograph let-ter of Edgar Allen Poe's brought$1800, while a page of manuscriptof the "Star Spangled Banner" soldfor $24,000.

In her recent "Candlelit Column"which Corra Harris contributes,regularly to the Atlanta Journal,she pays a gracious tribute toPresident Hamliton Holt and Rol-lins College under the title "Pio-neering in Education." She refersto President Holt as "the slavedriver for idealism" and calls at-

tention to the fact that his plansfor Rollins College "have emergedand taken shape, both culturallyand architecturally. The ideals forwhich he contended have becometruth and facts which no man canlonger deny."

In speaking of the Knowles Me-morial Chapel Mrs. Harris wrote:"The Chapel rises in the truth ofineffable beauty, tranquil and dimwithin as if it had been lifted stonehy stone, tower by tower, and altarby altar from mediaeval history,when God was big, and wisdom wasyoung with the heart of a child.What I mean is that there is some-thing approaching inward happi-ness, softly luminous in the wholeeffect; nothing suggestive of van-ity nor of mere riches."

DR. SHAW'S PLAN FORIMPROVING CONGRESS(Continued from page 1)

his life in Washington, and hispart in the game of politics. Whycan he not stay in congress andenjoy all these thing's, while mak-ing a good record and earning therespect of his fellow citizens ? Theanswer is so simple that almosteverybody fails to discover it. Itis because the voters in his districtwill not rally to his support whenhe acts with courage for the bestinterests of the country. There isalways a veterans lobby, a laborlobby, a pork-barrel lobby, and atariff lobby. There is also a per-sistent employee's lobby, working

against economical government andhelping the other big lobbies tocarry the fight against courageouscongressmen back into their homedistricts."

Of the two branches of Congress,Dr. Shaw feels that the Senate isworse than useless in its presentform. It cannot be abolished, butits peculiar functions could betaken away, and its power greatlylessened. The Senate is un-repre-sentative in that great states andsmall have equal power. At somefuture time, in the opinion of thespeaker, the American people willshake off the bad parts of the orig-inal constitution. When that timecomes, they will abolish the Senateand reform the House.

"One quite simple change of ourlegislative bodies that should notshock even the most conservativeminds would consist in extendingthe term of office of members ofthe House," Dr. Shaw pointed out."At present, these members areinsulted with impunity by organ-ized private interests because theyseek re-election every twenty-fourmonths. Certainly their two-yearterms should be made as long asthe six-year terms of the senators.I am quite deliberate in expressingthe opinion that Congress wouldbe greatly improved in quality andin efficiency if individual meritwere emphasized, partisanship min-imized, and terms made long, withexpectation of something like per-manency."

"As matters stand, the Presi-dent represents the nation, whileCongress represents states and dis-tricts. Congress can uphold na-tional interests only when publicopinion is aroused. Our systemis 'presidential government.' Weshould not be afraid to strengthenit,"

An article further elaboratingon this same subject by Dr. Shawwill appear in the next issue ofReview of Reviews under the title"Evils of Our Congressional Sys-tem."

IRVING BACHELLER74,—GOING ON 73!

"Quality before Quantity" hasbeen the slogan for Winter Parkin the past and it will be well tostick to it in the future. The pres-ence of Rollins College, with itsfamily of cultured faculty mem-bers, would tend to make any com-munity become selective in itsgrowth. The early residents ofWinter Park were also early pa-trons of the College, so that thecommunity and the College havegrown together. "Boom" days ap-parently did not upset the balancehere and Winter Park is nowunique among the winter resorttowns of Florida. Visitors from.the other places are not slow tonote the difference and tell usabout it.

As a former Chamber of Com-merce secretary who has had con-siderable experience in promotingthe interests of a community, youreditor believes in inviting peopleto corns to the community who arewanted and likely to "fit in," rath-er than a general broadcast of lit-erature. If one gives a party hedoes not invite everybody to it,—only those who "belong." Nor isthis snobbery. Winter Park has aright to seek the kind of peoplewho will appreciate not only itswonderful climate and healthful-ness but also its unusual opportu-nities for entertainment and cul-ture. There are lots of places inFlorida that will satisfy those peo-ple who can not appreciate WinterPark.

(Continued from page 1)came to Florida when he did. Theman who is famous throughoutAmerica as editor, poet and novel-ist, and who at the age of seventy-four says he has accomplishedmore work in the past year thanin any like period of time in hislife. Because he chose Winter Parkas his home seventeen years ago.The man who, because he feels thisway about his adopted state, andsays so with evident sincerity andlove for the place, gives to Florida,and to Winter Park particularly,the kind of publicity that cannotbe purchased for any amount ofmoney. The type of publicity thatis an invaluable asset to any com-munity.

Irving Bacheller came seventeenyears ago to Florida, and from thestate chose Winter Park to makehis home. He had not been wellfor some years, and was, in hisown words, uncomfortable eachyear from October until May. Hefound that in Florida he ceased tosuffer from a chronic bronchialcondition and was able to accom-plish a great deal more work be-cause he felt better and could beout in the open the best part ofevery day. He chose Winter Parkbecause he had the vision to real-ize the future of the quaint littletree-shaded village with one single-track paved street that was theWinter Park of 1917.

There were about two thousandpeople in the village in those days,most of them New Englanders.There was a well-housed publicschool and a poverty-stricken col-lege with an excellent school ofmusic.

"And that," says Irving Bachel-ler, "was all—except the naturalbeauty of many lakes, shaded ave-nues of lovely trees that were al-ready nearly forty years old, and afar-seeing spirit. It was this spiritof the little town, the unusual at-mosphere of this little community,that convinced me that WinterPark was where I . wanted to liveand work and have my friends."

"Here I have built a home andlived for sixteen years," Mr. Bach-eller is quoted from a recent articlein the Legion Magazine. "I haveseen beautiful homes and gardenscoming on the lake shores. I havehad a delightful part in remark-able undertakings—in the buildingof an educational institution nowdistinguished, in the organizationof the Society of the Allied Arts,in being one of a community of

fewer than five thousand peoplethat is able to maintain an excel-lent symphony orchestra of seventypieces. Many of my own craft nowcome here to spend the winters.They are famous men and women.Winter Park is like a bit of oldNew England in my boyhood.Through the season the churchesare crowded every Sunday, a fam-ous lecturer fills the auditoriumand many are turned away, themeeting's of the Poetry Society arecrowded and often five thousandpeople gather on the campus tohear the program of the AnimatedMagazine. At a lecture for char-ity I have seen the plates come inwith nine hundred dollars in them.So perhaps the most remarkablething I have seen in Florida is themaking and character of this littletown."

Mr. Bacheller told me of the or-ange grove on the lake shore, sur-rounded with untamed and untram-melled verdure, which is now hisbeautiful home "Gate o' the Isles."

In his study overlooking a smoothlawn studded with cypress treesthat merges into the lake, he worksevery morning.

His newest book, as yet un-named, is nearing completion, andwill be published this summer.

Every afternoon that the weath-er permits, which is 29 days out ofevery month at least, according toMr. Bacheller, he plays golf.

Eighteen holes of golf.

And I reiterate his statementthat in the past year he has ac-complished more work than in anytime of the same length in his life.

And remember, he's seventy-four,going' on seventy-three!

I feel I am right in stating thatthe finest "advertisement" WinterPark has is Irving Bachellei1. Notonly because of what he tells theworld about the place through hiswriting's, but because of what heis himself.

CURRIER AND IVESPRINTS ON DISPLAYBy Marge Lockman

An exhibition of Currier andIves prints is on display at theRollins Art Gallery and will re-main open to the public untilThursday of next week. Currierand Ives Prints were the popularform of ar t in the America of 1850to 1880, and the exhibition givesan interesting insight into thehabits, dress, forms of humor andof recreation of those days. Theprints have a valuable place in theworld of art as human documents.

The prints were "manufactured"by the company of Currier andIves, who employed "artists" to ex-ecute the drawings. It is evidentfrom many of the prints that theorganization's idea of "artist" va-ried greatly. The prints are color-ful, some of them quite lovely inthought and line, and most of themvery amusing. The prints are nowquite rare, and highly valued bytheir owners largely because oftheir quaint humor.

One of the prints attracting at-H " " " >.....•.... „.,„,„.„ ,m, ,

tention at the exhibit is that enti-tled "Son of Temperance" . . . Itshows a dignified arid pompousyoung man in what is quite plainlyhis best bib and tucker, standingagainst a back-di*op of red velvetand resting his hand upon a docu-ment which reads, for the world toprofit by, "No Brother shall make,buy, sell, or use as a beverage anyspirituous or malt liquors, wine orcider." The young man, his back-ground, and the proclamation aredrawn with a nice attention tominute detail, and the picture ofcourse was intended to have a highmoral value, but the gentleman isstanding upon infinitesimal feetthat that could not possibly sup-port the weight of the averagefive-year-old child.

A charming and colorful print,which was probably the pride ofsome living-room of the seventies,is entitled "The Life of a Sports-man." It features a pretty andartistic little canoe, too small toever hold more than one frail hu-man, in which is seated one be-whiskered gentleman dressed inoutdoor togs, one large gun, one

As an exposition of the art ofthe past, the prints are delightfuland amusing, well-worth an inspec-tion, showing the great differencein the artistic notions of widelyseparated generations.
