THE REVIEW.
The Editor of the Review, in the April number, calls attention to my article in a recent issue of the STUDENTS JOURNAL, and ridicates the supposition that the contributors of the Review are subject to the ordinary laws of human nature. He expresses a "morbid curiosity" to know more of the history of a genius so remarkable as to entertain such a supposition. I am very far from desiring to allow any light which I may have, to "blind itself out in the murky mists of oblivion." I had supposed, indeed, that the bushel under which it was hidden was of sufficient transparency for so decerning and appreciative a person as his article shows the Editor to be, to see the light distinctly. But as I seem to have been mistaken in this, it may be well to lift the bushel entirely, and satisfy the "morbid curiosity" of the Editor by throwing a flash light upon the workings of the Review company.
The Editor says that "if a student is not interested enough in the Review to contribute one dollar a year to its support, whether it be contrary to the laws of human nature or not, he does not deserve a voice in the selection of its officers." It might be well to call attention, in passing, to the fact that just two lines above the passage here quoted, it is stated that the paid-up subscriber "is entitled to a vote in the selection of the editor for the ensuing year." Of course the editor of the Review would have said, "a voice in the selection of its editor-in-chief," but for the fact that the sentence is rounded off much better by the substitution of the word "officers."
But what strikes the mind with the most peculiar force on hearing this statement is the fact, that while the editor is declaring that no one should have a voice in the selection of the Review officers who is not willing to contribute one dollar a year to its support, those who really do have a voice in the selection of all of its officers do not contribute to it more than the interest on the price of the shares, namely two cents and a half, for which sum they are amply repaid by receiving the Review free of charge. Evidently the words of the Editor can be taken to mean nothing else than that the stock holders of the company do not deserve a voice in the se-
But the fact, that the management of the Review is wholly in the hands of one class of students, might be passed over in silence, were it not for the disreputable methods which are used in order to keep the management in those hands.
The students who organized the Review company recognized the danger of allowing one or two factions to gain complete control over the paper, and they therefore placed a clause in the constitution, saying that no fraternity, or members of a fraternity, should hold more than so many shares. The intention of this provision was well enough, but unfortunately, in the course of time, several fraternities secured "control" of some shares besides the full number to which they had a constitutional right, and at the present time some of the fraternities "control" two or three times as many shares as they can constitutionally own.
The method by which this business is managed is something like this: A new student is approached and told that, if he would like to have a Review share, one can be got for him, which will not cost him a cent, and that he will receive the Review free of charge. Mr. Freshman probably signifies his desire to have one. He hears nothing more about it, however, until the time for the yearly election approaches when the same student who spoke to him before, asks him if such and such students are all right for the officers of the next year. He expresses his approval of the slate, and when his name is called at the meeting, he votes for those students. If he assents to the slate the next year, the same process is repeated, but if he objects to voting for any of the students who are "running."
he is much surprised on the day of the
election to find some new student's name
read in place of his own. The share has
been transferred in the meantime.
Very often the plan pursued is not so ingenious as this. Some students are found who are willing to compromise themselves knowingly in this way for the sake of receiving the Review free of charge.
It is not necessary, I hope, to speak further of this matter. This condition of affairs is well known, to the older students at least, and the knowledge of it ought to be sufficient to deter any honorable student from taking part in the management of the Review, except with a view to reform.

Language Conference.
At the meeting of the Language conference las Thursday, Dr. Wilcox read a paper on, "Some Biblical Parallels to Homes." He read about forty passages from Homer, showing as many different ideas, customs, and modes of expression; and then for each of these passages he gave from one to four parallel passages from various books of the Bible. These parallels form a most interesting study, but there is no evidence, that these two nations knew anything of each other at this time. The only conclusion, therefore, that can be drawn from those remarkable parallels, is that there must have been great similarity in the social and intellectual conditions of the two countries at the time their respective master-pieces were written. The two nations were apparently at about the same stage of civilization, having about the same ideas regarding death, the future life and many other things of common interest to mankind
Professor Carruth then spoke briefly of M. Gouin's lightening method of teaching languages.
After spending nearly a year memorizing grammars and dictionaries without being yet able to speak the German language, M. Gouin was surprised to find that his little three-year-old boy had learned the French language perfectly in that time. So he concluded that the way to learn any language is to go about it as a little child does. This he at once did, with truly wonderful results. The so-called new method of M. Gouin is little more than the formerly much talked about "natural" method which is used more or less by all successful teachers of language. The essence of this method that a language must be heard in order to be learned. The one possibly new idea which M. Gouin's method contains is the temporal as well as logical as association of the sentences to be learned. The sentences taught should follow each other naturally in time as well as in thought.
