“Mr Hammond sets forth the views of Ernest Jones, the Chislehurst professional, on the golf swing, and they certainly deserve a sympathetic and attentive hearing, because Jones’s swing has stood the severest possible test. In March, 1916, he lost his right leg just below the knee, in France.... His new gospel, very briefly put, is that the golfer should first get a clear ‘mental picture’ of the shot he wants to play, then concentrate his mind entirely on the right

=HAMSUN, KNUT.= Hunger. *$2.50 (3½c) Knopf

20–21963

The book has been translated from the Norwegian by George Egerton and has an introduction by Edwin Björkman. It is an epic of hunger. A young writer has fallen on evil days and is condemned to long spells of hunger between the acceptances of articles now and then by some paper. The physical privations he undergoes are only casually described but the psychology of hunger is enlarged upon with distressing detail. There is black despair suddenly replaced by fantastic mirth, clear mental vision by hallucinations and delirium, complete lassitude by sudden spurts of energy, morbid sensitiveness about his condition by brazen affrontery and mendacity.

The wide and continued demand for this work has led her to treat the subject more comprehensively in the present book. “The aim has been to emphasize strongly two things which the author believes to be fundamental in any plan that may be followed in the improvement of rural life conditions: (1) The redirection of rural forces must be effected by the rural people themselves; (2) for the present, and probably for a good many years to come, the active work of such redirection must be carried on mainly by means of community activities centering around the school.” (Author’s preface) Contents: The community center and the world war; Leadership and the community center; The community center idea; The enjoyment of leisure; Recreation; Social capital—its development and use; The community center as an aid to teaching; First steps in the community center; Special school programs; Miscellaneous activities within the community center; Entertainment programs for community meetings; Country life programs.

He seems strongly to suspect that “we Irishmen, all of us, are spending most energy on what matters least, the form of the state; and far too little energy on what matters most, the making of men.” Contents: Irish politics—the old parties; Irish politics—the new parties; The island of saints—Ireland’s religion;—and scholars—Ireland’s culture; Education—primary, intermediate, university; Education—the Gaelic league and the Irish agricultural organisation society; The Irish aristocracy; The farmers; The middle classes—Dublin—Belfast—the country town; Conclusion.

19–15676

Sir Ulick Conolly was a high government official in Ireland whose phlegmatic temperament and easy-going worldly wisdom refused to take the unrest of the Irish Nationals seriously. His policy was not to suppress the rebels but to avert an explosion by letting them blow off steam freely. He did not even suppress his daughter Mona, one of the rebels, who talked in Gaelic and dressed like a Celtic queen; who engaged in conspiracies and led uprisings. But he managed to send her off into the country to her aunt’s, for safe keeping, as he thought. There she organizes the natives and proclaims the Irish republic in the village of Dunally. Her father’s timely interference saves the situation from becoming serious for the rebels and turns the fracas into something of a farce. In the end the girl is put to bed for recuperation under the watchful eye of her aunt.

The mystery referred to is a series of daring bank robberies. But more unusual matters are to follow, involving the riddle of the frozen flames. Sir Nigel Merriton sees them on the first night spent in Merriton Towers and his impulse is to go out onto the fens to investigate, but his horrified servants restrain him with tales of those who have dared this never to return. Sir Nigel, who is very much in love and has just become engaged, has no wish to risk his life and his interest in the supposed supernatural phenomenon lapses. It is only when Dacre Wynne, his unsuccessful rival, disappears, that he is moved to action and carries the strange tale to Scotland Yard, arousing the interest of Cleek, who pursues the mystery to its solution.

A liberal differs from a radical in humility. He concentrates on certain changes, good in themselves and also carrying the seeds of further change, but he leaves later steps to later times.
