THE YALE REVIEW.
Tins American quarterly is admirably produced, though we sometimes find ourselves wishing that it were not so stuffy. The present number is, however, a good one. Mr. Frederick Turner, the Professor of History at Harvard University, has contributed "Sections and Nation" in which he discusses the strange phenomena of sectionalism and unity in the United States as they appear to-day. He tries to account for the con- trasting attitudes of Europe and America. Mr. R. C. Leffing. well, who was recently an Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, discusses "War Debts " from a sane and moderate standpoint. Miss Zona Gale, the author of "Miss Lulu Bett," has a most interesting article upon the modern tendencies among American novelists. Dr. Henry van Dyke has just discovered, appar- ently, the associational value of words. The poetry we found uninteresting save for one slightly overladen lyric, the first of two, by Miss Edna St. Vincent Millay. The book reviews are sound but heavy.
