SUNDAY, AUGUST 1, 1926 THE SUMMER MICHIGAN DAILY PANGE THR w I, . BOOKS AN D_ WRITERS "THE HAPPY ISLANDS", Stories and Sketches of the Georgian Bay, by Marlow A. Shaw: Toronto: )LeClel- land and Stewart; $2.00 To one who has been in the Georg- ian Bay region for no matter how brief a time the place is memorable find he is apt to look forward to a book of sketches on theregion with all the anticipation that one who has roamed the Pampas of South Ameri- ca would anticipate a book by W. H. Hudson in times past. "The Happy Islands", to such a one will be a dis- appointment for there is a certain Stevensonian shallowness about th-em where one might expect richness and depth. Shaw knows his region and occasionally lie writes well but for the most part he deals in common- places without the necessary bril- liance of writing to lift them to the level of a similarly commonplace in- cident in "An Inland Voyage" or "Travels with a Donkey." The incongruity of some of the in- stances are as outstanding as some of the raw spots in Mantrap, Sinclair Lewis' latest book. For in the sketch called "Jones in Camp" the fellow tagging around the island dragging in drift-wood and later hanging out his washing on a line is as out of place on a Georgian Bay is- land as is the whole idea of a weak- sister of a New Yorker going into the North Woods for a vacation in "Man- trap". The book may be characterized as uneven, for in the sketch of "Dave the half-breed" and parts of "Jake," Shaw has found a really subtle touch that for the most part is lacking. He seems most of the time to be writing himself out, to have no reserve, to have nothing more to tell if you were to ask him. Sevien illustrations in black and white are included and they give a good impression of their subjects but lack somewhat in character. Selec- tions from "The Happy Islands" are highly worth reading and the book is commendable for the sympathetic tone with which the people of the region are treated although one would hardly say they were understood. -R. L. P. RELATIVITY IN MAN AND SOCIETY by Arthur F. Bentley. G. P. Put- nan ""s Sons; New York. Here is a book that is different. It would be difficult for any layman and for any specialists who haven't hap- pened to combine their specialization into three field-physics, psychology and sociology. And for a college stu- dent who has predilections for large print travel books during the winter, thin and ecstatic leaflets of verse in the spring, light fiction and a ham- mock in the summer and football sta- tistics in the autumn it is nothing less than appalling. Still, the college student can read it with no loss unless it be a good bit of intellectual egotism. This work on relativity in society certainly can give the reader the knowledge of his abysmal ignorance, and that, as some of our more disillusioned professors are fond of saying, is a great deal. Mr. Bentley begins with Einstein and relativity, in the strictly physical sense. He defines thes term "Ein- stein" as it appears in our modern intellectual world. From physics he makes the transition to what he calls the position of man. This transition is not complete, for it necessarily in- volves a change from the most exact of all sciences to the most subjective element on earth. But it does suc- ceed fairly well in stating the relation of man to the universe as we must not conceive it. TYPEWRITING PROMPTLY AND NEATLY DON F 1T Nickels O. D.
