1908 INTERPRES Vol. XLIX knowledge of our common bricks and minerals. I believe with all the sincerity of my soul that St. Peter would admit no one into the Pearly City who did not know the distinction between Labradorite and Cinna- bar, continues the author. Using this powerful argument as a basis, the Professor proceeds to show the destination of those miserable crea- tures unfamiliar with Mineralogy. The significant volume ends with the statement that minerals make character. GALE-LAMSON, ARTHUR SULLIVAN and FRED LEONARD, Trigonometric Jingles. A Text Book for Honor Divisions. The Mother Goose Press. Price 3.98 net CReduced from SU. Prof. Gale maintains that the average Trigonometric text book is too verbose for college Freshmen to comprehend. Moreover, he conceived the idea that such a book rhymed in Mother Goose jingle would meet the demand. Every trigonometric law, such as that of sines and tangents, is written in orthorhombic radians. The volume is dedicated to all trig Hunks. The poem may be sung to the tune of Jingle Bells. We would here append some selections from the book did not a state law prohibit the printing of indecent literature. Mr. Lamsonls part in placing the book before the public was to secure a printer. He succeeded after long months of hardship. Finally, some disreputable establishment in Chicago undertook the task. The State Industrial School and the Elmira Reform- atory have already adopted the new text book. STROUD, CHARLES E., Athletics and Morals. The Spaulding Press. Price 95.10. Dr. Stroud deplores the low moral tone of present day athletics, in his recent book. After thirty chapters of rambling discussion, the writer suggests a remedy. The qualifications of a contestant should be his ability to pass an examination in Ethics, and his vocabulary should be carefully examined for 's1ips.' Before every athletic game, the players should be compelled to attend a religious service. A suitable First prize in a track meet would be a year's subscription to the Sunday School Times or a bottle of Moxie. Then, and only then, would the degrading condition of college athletics be relieved. This is known as the would QWoodQ remedy. The Doctor suggests the substitution of Tom tom, pull-a-way for football, and Pussy-in-the-corner for basketball. The frontispiece of the book is a full page picture of the Columbia basketball team. These notices were sent in to the Interpres by an enthusiastic Freshman after an interview with Mr. Phinney. They are certainly important, if true. 25

By a series of complex calculations which would bafiie the skill of a Lamson or a Gale, Professor Forbes reckons that in the year 2876 the method of playing football will materially be altered. The pamphlet embraces three sections. The First is a poetic lament that present foot- ball is not sufficiently pregnated with the principles of psychology. Part two deals solely with the calculations. As yet no one has been able to explain the last section. It is rumored, however, that the Professor is now engaged in composing an explanation in three volumes.
